Which he is doing a FUCKING AMAZING performance for by the way.

thomas ian Griffith. loved his films as a kid

Terry Silver man these punches 👊 and kicks 🙌🙌🙌

Yeah his a 3rd degree black belt In Tae Kwon do and a Kenpo karate black belt. Also has trained kick boxing , wrestling and fencing.

He’s also 2 years YOUNGER than Ralph Machio

Proof he really has a secret twin.

Sensei Seth would absolutely mop the floor with Sensei Seth

idk guys i think sensei seth would win

Black belt in Tae Kwon Do and Kenpo.

I heard he's a black belt in karate, taekwondo, and brazillian jiu jitsu so he also has grappling

Yeah, I never understood this initially with the original films how everyone was cheering for Daniel and Miyagi while he's abviously a mad genious planning his worldwide Dojo-Dictatorship and Kobra Kai just tries to stop him to save humanity The only person I can remember actually seeing it the right way around was Barney Stinson, because he's awesome

​@@OroberusWtf are you high ?

By a few months

Let’s not forget the true martial artist - Thomas Ian griffith (terry silver) he is a tae kwon do 3rd degree black belt , kenpo karate black belt , has trained in kickboxing , wrestling and fencing. And Zabka (Johnny) is a 3rd den green belt

@@bxjms9535 we can never forget these legends ever

@@camiloiribarren1450 we won’t !

Well tkd and muy thai aren't exactly throwing arts, yeah they have plenty of sweeps but they're no judo.

@@SeanWintersexactly I feel like karate and judo work together

How can you tell from choreographed fight scenes ? He’s said in a interview that he’s mainly done dance and 6 months of Muay Thai. Most the cast haven’t learnt martial arts and just come from dance

@@thestruggler340 dancing helps because good fight choreography has rhythm like dance choreography, and cast learn martial arts for the show

@@thestruggler340 I can usually tell if the actors have some formal training when watching fight scenes in movies or TV shows. Good choreography definitely helps to hide the flaws in the actors technique, but I can, with a fair degree of certainty, often tell whether someone has trained or not. In Cobra Kai, I'm confident that the actors that play Hawk and Johnny Lawrence have actual martial arts skills that go beyond stunt/choreography training. Watch Steven Seagal's earlier films, for instance. The Aikido looks "legit" (or as legit as Aikido can look) as far as the trips, throws, and hand fighting/parrying, but his punches and kicks are straight garbage. No chamber, no pivot or rotation, just ugly ass striking. Same applies to grappling scenes: it drives me nuts seeing someone "choke" someone out on screen when the actors hand placement and grip is all wrong. It's like watching a movie with a military theme with my buddies that were in the armed forces: they can't avoid pointing out when the stuff they are seeing on screen is incorrect.

@@isaacyeon6334 you can’t be a decent martial arts unless you pressure test something and have done it for a number of years so to say they are a talented martial artist is ridiculous, if you are a dancer learning fight choreography is a piece of cake but learning how to put power in your kicks and punches, learning how to avoid and counter learning good technique and learning combos all comes from hard work and training and pressure testing. The most you can say is he has potential to be a to be a good fighter but to straight up say he’s a talented martial artist is just plain wrong

@@TheElbowMerchant you are right that William Zabka has done martial arts as he went on to learn and even become a teacher of tang soo do after the original karate kid and Jacob Bertrand did taekwondo for a couple years. Thomas Ian Griffith has done karate for a number of years also but the rest of the main cast are mainly just dancers. I agree Aikido doesn’t really work in the real world and is just flashy I’m also not a fan of point karate and taekwondo as they tend to teach bad habits from trying to only go for a quick point and grappling scenes also drive me crazy.

She’s very flexible

eh

Lmaoo

Plus too we’ve seen similar fantasised techniques in the movies so adding more would be on brand and just cool.

2 word silver bullet

Fantasy would ruin the show in my opinion

@@youreverydaylemonfriend560 let’s just hope they don’t get tooo pedantic with the flying FLYING kicks, because those can sometimes just be too fantastical for me so I sympathise with ya.

Silver Bullet

A lot o them are based around different forms of Kung fu. Water is Tai Chi, Air is I believe Ba Gua Zhang, Earth was Hun gar, and I forget fire. But the way they use the martial arts with the bending is really cool.

@@ajshiro3957 Yes, a lot o them are based around different styles of Kung fu, which either influenced karate directly or it's ansestor form influenced karate

@@ajshiro3957 fire was Northern Shaolin Kung Fu

Air-shoalin kung fu Water-tai chi Earth- I want to say judo but toph uses preying mantis style Fire- taekwondo or tongsudo

Air - Baguazhang and Xingyiquan Water - TaiChi (The swamp style is a mix of TaiCHi with the standard Earthbending style) Earth - Hung Gar (Standard) and Southern Praying Mantis (Toph) Fire - Northern Shaolin (standard) and Southern Dragon Claw (Sun Wariors)

Thirst is thirst.

This is mostly correct. It's a bit more complicated historically speaking but the concept is correct

Whaaat?! That’s so sick

Yeah I got a call from one of my friends asking if my dojo had people that would want to go. A few days later we where heading down to Georgia for two weeks! It was a pretty awesome experience all around

They are just white belts who just wear black belts in tournaments for the looks, I think that in season 1 they lie to get to the tournament. Plus on the og movies daniels black belt is a stolen one

@@First_last988 Which makes no sense. In the 84 movie you see Cobra Kai has ranks, in between black and white, at the tournament. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qdBmhZef0NXYe30.html In this scene here, you see a non-black belt, brown belt Cobra Kai student (although if it was actual Tangsoodo, it'd be a red belt, and the black belt in Tangsoodo is midnight blue not black)

Weird

@@senseisethreacts not at all. They're adults.

I would also point out that if they are calling them by their character's name.... they likely don't know the name of the actress so they use the only name they know for the woman in question. I would further point out that while I do not approve of molesting young girls and such it should be noted that until fairly recently in Earth's history many of these "Girls" would have been considered adults and of marrying/breeding age. Again... not saying it's ok to mess with little girls... what I AM saying is maybe the only reason they are considered to be young girls is because society now says they are... when historically many of these Girls would have been married off and starting families. Either way the actresses are young adults so nothing taboo there.

did you see UFC's Chris Barnett have an adverse reaction in the middle of the 1st round, while the org's doctor and commentators ignored the fact half his face was suddenly dead, and kept the fight going!? SMH --- Is still alive (a couple of weeks later)?

It is indeed a move we do, Pitura Chaggi I think? Twisting kick. Now in most of our Tuls or practise we train it as a low kick or middle kick i.e. target the knee of inner thigh or the midsection. It is also trained high section but not as often

It is present in shotokan Karate as well, we call it gyako mawashi

That kick is found in every Korean system along with shotokan and kyokushin and maybe a few others as well.

Kata Garuma

Yes its a judo movement

I kinda like season 1 and 2 more realistic
