In this video you will see some of the movie locations used for the 1984 coming-of-age classic. Starting with the apartment building Daniel and his mother move to in Reseda, Ca. This is also where Mr Miyagi had his office and saved his soon to be student from the Cobra Kai. Leo Carrillo Beach will be on display, where the beach bbq and first fight over Ali took place. The school will be up next, a place seen multiple times throughout the film. Then the Mills House located in Encino, Ca will be seen. I didn't get to all the locations for this one but I couldn't miss Golf N' Stuff, where they have their first date. The dojo will be seen briefly as well. This tour will wrap up with the All Valley Under 18 Tournament location, at Cal State University, Northridge. Stay tuned to the end of this video for a scene from The Karate Kid Part 2. I plan on making a complete video for the 40th Anniversary in 2024. Enjoy

The footage in this video is now over a year old, and was not filmed with my 4K camera. I tried to salvage it the best I could to make it a good viewing experience. I plan on doing a complete tour in the future.

You’re welcome! I haven’t been to an LA-area beach since.......1985. I can’t believe the film is almost 40 😩. Carillo Beach coast looks beautiful and knowing that’s where 2 of the most important scenes were filmed, I hope to visit there too when we can travel again. ..I don’t blame you for not wanting to leave! God I hope they find a way to feature it again on Cobra Kai ❤️

This was terrific. The 5th Cobra Kai is Jimmy, and he does have a line in the film, but it’s said pretty much off camera in the intro scene of them on their bikes just before they ride down to the beach and approach Ali and Daniel. He says - “I thought they broke up.”
