BIG FRED 1973 : 5/9/2018 8:00 am
Has anyone started watching this show yet ? I started it on Saturday night and Iam already up to episode 8 .It is that awesome and I have not had this much fun watching a show since Stranger things season 2 ended .Its on Youtube Red and it’s a subscription service which sucks but for this show its worth it to me since iam a huge Karate Kid Fan .William Zabka is great again as Johnny and Ralph Macchiao is awesome as always .Had a chance to meet these guys a few times at conventions over the years and they are really cool guys and both from NY and huge NY sports fans which is cool also .Anyways great show can’t wait to watch the last 3 episodes over the weekend ..

Miyagi is a fairly common family name in Okinawa

It's corny in spots, but overall it is a nice mixture of nostalgia, comedy, and drama, flipping the roles of the characters from the original (Johnny as the outcast loser, Daniel as the successful glamor boy) while not actually changing the basic nature of the characters. Johnny's still pretty much a dick, Daniel is still whiny.


Well shit... if YOU liked it... I'm definitely checking it out! LOL!

Hell, bring em all back - Bobby, Dutch , Tommy, and have Chozen fly in from Okinawa.



Would love to see Chozen come back. How would anyone but Daniel know how to reach him though?



Facebook. Duh.


I mean no one but Daniel really knows about Chozen, so Cobra Kai wouldn't know to even contact him.


However, one way to incorporate him would be to use him as an example of going from the dark side to the light side. At the end of Karate Kid 2 he came to senses and flipped sides.

Check it out - Yuji Okumoto and his family own a restaurant in Seattle. He's still acting, though.

(One more thing: In Cobra Kai, Johnny ends up having dinner with Miguel and his mother and his grandmother one evening. While there, Johnny asks Miguel’s mother why they left Ecuador. Miguel’s mom mentions that, after she got pregnant with Miguel, she learned the truth about what her husband did for a living. She doesn’t say much more beyond that, other than that Miguel’s dad is “a very bad man” and that they don’t have anything to do with him. In 1989’s Karate Kid III, there’s a part where Terry Silver, the movie’s main bad guy and a sleazy businessman with lax views on where people should be allowed to dump hazardous waste, makes an offhand comment about Borneo. I’m calling it right now: In a future season, it’s going to eventually be revealed that Terry Silver is Miguel’s father

I love this shit. It's General Hospital, circa 1982, all over again...with fighting.
That would be an incredible twist!

Fantastic villain.

I want to see Daniel teach more Miyga moves. Like the crane, the drum move, and whatever the focus move is called.
Your Karate is a Joke.

This has been awesome so far. What a great job they did
I finished it up late last night  
Greg from LI : 5/10/2018 11:10 am : link
They did such a terrific job with blending humor with drama and just enough flashbacks to the original. Can't wait for season 2.

Daniel's bully shows up while he's hanging out with a girl and kicks Daniel in the stomach...that's cute, but how about Daniel's bully shows up while Daniel is on his first date and kicks her in thew stomach!
