I appreciate the touch of realism when Johnny does the jump kick at the beginning and pulls a groin muscle.

I don't know what's cooler: That Johnny can kick that much ass in his 50s, or the music that goes along with it.

A lot of people are saying that he only cared about the car and not Miguel but I think it was an excuse to stand up for him because he threw the fat kid on his car

Kyler's lost pretty much every fight that he's been in. How the hell is he so confident, every time he's about to fight someone and how the hell is a guy like him a bully? 😂

It has been 34 years and I still love the way Johnny yells his "Kiya".

For a guy who’s been heavily drinking and hasn’t practice in over 30 years, he fought them off pretty well

0:09 You know, Johnny wasn’t being rude. He just asked if he had gloves. He’s putting his hand all over the pizza.

That first kick was legend, brought a tear to my eye that did.

I think Johnny was fighting the urge to stand up for Miguel and used the excuse of him getting thrown onto his car as an excuse to get involved. Because immediately after saying watch the car man, he tells them to leave him alone.

Part of what is interesting in this scene to me is how it seemed that the kids' insults were actually landing on Johnny who was just standing there looking somewhat timid in the face of being laughed at. When Kyler tells his friends that Johnny is the guy who cleaned out his septic tank at his home Johnny looks down as if he is ashamed. For a brief moment Johnny was being bullied until he remembers that he quite capable of taking these guys on.

When you trained martial arts at a young age it stays inside. I did karate for 15 years from 6 to 21. I am 37 now, mainly hitting the boxing gym for the fit 2h per week. As a male nurse doing nightshifts in a center for the disabled I stumbled across a looter, the guy ran into me and I straight kicked him in the guts (mae geri). I couldn't believe a karate kick I didn't use for 15 years maybe saved my life. Sometimes oldschool is good.

This scene is Johnny playing the role of Mr. Miyagi against the bullies: role reversal. Crazy!

"Is that all you got ladies?" haha, best part

Johnny with a high kick to the kids face. Then immediately moans in pain like shit I havnt done that in forever!! Lol!!!

Im not big on karate but one thing i love is that Johnny took a couple of hits. This accurately displays that in a fight youre still gonna get hit. You're not invincible but you can still kick ass

In real life after Johnny delivered the first kick, I think those punks would've hightailed it out of there.

I hated Johnny in the movie...I friggin LOVE him now! Cobra Kai lives!

It's still hard to believe Johnny still bought and ate that pizza even after that fat guy handled it like that.

Johnny really looks like he is in his 30's really amazing

I died laughing at the start when he nearly tore his groin throwing that kick😂

The old homeless lady eating up johnnys slice of pizza eating it.while johnny kicking ass...lmao

there's 3 important lessons here children: 1) never mess with an ex-karate champion's car 2) never mess with an ex-karate champion's dinner 3) never piss off an ex-karate champion

Miguel is by far the best thing to happen to Johnny. And Johnny is by far the best thing to happen to Miguel. That's what makes the relationship dynamic and so special. Johnny at this point, had nothing. No responsibilities, etc... Some thought in season 3 he became tame. I saw it as Johnny for the first time in his life, accepting responsibilities that he never accepted before. The relationship forced him to grow up. I get in a way why Robby is so jealous, because from his perspective, he probably thinks "hey, why couldn't you do this with me".

I agree this is what the show is saying. Those who listen to the "take the high road" philosophy are making an endless cycle. Theirs kids like Miguel who were taught "fighting is wrong" and he gets picked on or beat up on an almost daily basis. And then theirs the punks, who act like tough guys preying on those who were taught "fighting is wrong" thinking they can get away with anything knowing they won't do crap about it, and actually believing they are intimidating enough that people won't fight them despite never actually getting into a fight. Hell Johnny is a 54 (partially ) alcoholic who hasn't practiced karate in years and the only exercise he got was his job as a handy man yet he still thoroughly beat the tar out of them. So Johnny is helping end that cycle by telling people their are those who will throw a punch when push comes to shove.

He’s a great actor. This may re-jumpstart his career.

Now imagine a young Johnny Lawrence fighting them

Man if you really think about it.... Johnny created the events of Cobra Kai and Karate Kid. 😂😂😂

When the leader grabs Johnny and asks "having trouble breathing?", then Johnny asks him the same, that's the same question Mike Barnes asked Daniel in part 3 in their fight. Man, this show is full of quotes from the movies. And that makes it cooler somehow. That wouldn't work on most shows.

in real life those punks would go to jail for jumping a senior citizen. Well Johnny is like 54.

The cashier handled the pizza with his bare hans and Johnny STILL paid for AND ate it!!?? He was at a low.

Johnny is like the Venom of the karate kid universe.

I love how Johnny looks the other way just to make sure if people aren't there to watch him beat up teens lol

When i watched it the first time i didn’t really see how much of a Miyagi moment this was. The fight is similar to the halloween fight in the way it plays out. Johnny flipping the asian kid just like Miyagi did to him

Why is it okay for a middle-aged handyman to beat up a bunch of teenage bullies in 1984, but it's not okay for a middle-aged handyman to beat up a bunch of teenage bullies in 2018?

Kyler : *pushes johnny* Johnny : rage level raising Johnny : inserts the kick

Amazing how over the course of five seasons, Miguel went from someone Johnny wanted nothing to do with to basically being his son. ❤️

When comparing Johnny's bullying and the asian dude's, johnny is less of a jerk in comparison.

You can call him names, you can ruin his dinner, but don't touch his car.

Bully are messing with Miguel.- Johnny:eh whatever Once they thought his car.- Johnny: activating boss mode

Joe Seo is a DAMN GOOD ACTOR!!!!

Ironic Echo: "What's the matter? Having trouble breathing?" The way he says it is just ICE cold. I love grown up Johnny! This show actually gave me a boost of confidence and is making me consider Tang Soo Do (Billy Zabka's martial art.)

Cobra Kai never dies

I love the way johnny still sounds exactly the same as he did as a kid when hes fightin lol

I just realized the homeless lady stole Johnny's pizza

"You couldn't leave well enough alone, could you, little twerp?! No. You had to push it! Well, now you're gonna pay!"

Best show in years.

God, William Zabka was AMAZING in this! Such a great redemption arch for Johnny.

Blonde dude vaped straight in Johnny’s face before they entered the mart lmao😂

I like how the law always sides with the wrong people. If the police do accidently arrest the person that is to blame the judge will just let them go.

My Grandma's not feeling well I didn't ask Lmao! William Zabka was absolutely hysterical in this series. Comedic timing on point and pulled off a down on his luck stuck in the 80s man as well as any good actor ever could

Johnny: "Just leave the dork alone" Bully: "The what?" Really?? Who hasn't heard that word, it may be dated, but still.

Legends never age; they just get better!

3:01 I would learn karate solely to master that kick

Can't get enough of this series! In 1984. I felt bad for Daniel, now I feel bad for Johnny but he still kicks ass! Excellent Clip!

Johnny saved Miguel from bullies like Miyagi saved Daniel from him . Johnny is the new Miyagi

the only really unrealistic thing about that scene is that the cops were REAL fast to respond to that. Ain't no way in hell the cops are getting to a scene in LA that fast.

Umm? So, these are supposed to be the "tough guys" in school? Hell, even the nerds I went to high school with 20 years ago would kill these guys.

Is that all ypu got ladies had me dying 🤣🤣 3:40

Johnny totally rocked that scene....until the end. I dang near cheered out loud as Johnny took those punks down not just a couple of pegs but a full ladder! YES!

That homeless lady picked up Jonnys pizza and started eating it when the fight started! Lol

Love it, just noticed that he looks around before jump-kicking that kid's face.

This is my favorite part in the entire season

Nothing says anti-hero more than Johnny only getting involved cause he was worried his car was gonna get fucked up 😂😂

3:50 that punch looks so real and hard that it could kill someone

"Is That's All You Got, Ladies!" Haha Good Ole Johnny

Johnny will be feeling that in the morning lol.

Man the realism and awesomeness of season 1 will be forever unmatched. Also love seeing the chemistry between Johnny and Miguel throughout the earlier seasons. ❤️

1:14 that vape cloud to the face was already enough reason to pick a fight no joke

Johny is the man Cobra Kai Never dies!!

he's like the neo miyagi, a drunk sensei that saved some kid from getting jumped

now that I see this scene, it flashes back to when miyagi helped a kid who just knew, daniel defeats his bullys, as now johonny with a kid who just knew beating his bullys.

Looking back (in retrospect) this here scene is good reminder that in real life we shouldn't take anything for granted: that no matter how mundane and ordinary some days can be or seem like you never know how you may cross paths with someone who is appointed into your life to help you find your way back again, and the irony is that quite often it will be from some of the most unexpected people and or places.

I remember watching this on You Tube before it came out on Netflix and just jumping up and cheering the minute the real Johnny came back! Never felt such euphoria over a show since watching the first Karate Kid when Daniel beat him in the tournament back when I was a kid in the 80's.

Finish them!!!

"Kicks get chicks" Johnny Lawrence 2018

Love how he’s become what Mr Miyagi was to Daniel

Johnny's a bad Ass dude! Handsome with talents 😍

The best move in a real fight is that straight kick to the stomach. You see alot of MMA fighters using it more. It's very effective. Johnny's a boss!

This series made me and my dad become close and bonded, i always love martial arts film and so is my dad he loved karate kid Back in 1984, but he always distance himself from me and my mom cause of work, one day i found this series i started watching it and enjoyed it, my dad noticed johnny fighting kyler and his friends he was like surprise that there was a cobra ksi series, we started to watch it and love every part of the show and we got close together id never see my dad so happy.

3:07 when you return to the game you were good at

I really like how he kicked there assess if this was real life they would deserve it.

Strike Hard Strike First No Mercy!

1:08 Gotta love how he just casually slaps his ass 🤣

I like that way of thinking about it. He had to get into a bit of trouble to make him realise what he really needed to be doing.

3:21 "watch the car man"... *proceeds to throw guy onto his car

Cops always turn up so fast on tv like if they were that fast in real life no one would ever commit a crime.

Video title: "Johnny remembers what he is good at" Johnny's motorbike: am i a joke to you?

Love how Johnny just snatches the slice out of the cashier's hand 😆

In a way, Kyler actually was the reason for Cobra Kai's rebirth. First, Kyler gets his ass kicked by Johnny which impresses Miguel enough to make him wanna learn karate, then we get to the cafeteria scene where he gets his ass kicked this time by Miguel and that's when the prospective Cobra Kai students started flooding. 😂

The pizza part was hilarious 😂

Mr Miyagi in heaven be proud of him.

It’s amazing how much Miguel’s grown since this first episode

Are you having trouble breathing? Exactly what Mike Barnes said to Daniel in karate kid three 😎😎😎

He did tell the dork a warning.These kids had no respect and no business messing with a grown man.

I love how Johnny is still eating in the background while watching like it's a movie LOL 🤣🤣🤣

This is the moment Johnny became Heisenberg.

Johnny is still totally hot😍

Homeless lady stold Johnnys pizza @ 3:17

34 years and this guy can still take on 4 people at the same time
