Cobra Kai

Good morning, baby.

Good morning, sunshine.

Hey, did you go to the dealership already?

Uh, no, I'm at the dojo.

I wanna get an early jump on today's lesson plan.

Right, yeah, that sounds important.

Are you still coming in? We have that lunch with Anoush.

That's today?

Yeah.

Look, Daniel, he isn't happy.

He's been doing a lot for us. Not to mention getting punched in the stomach.

All right, no problem.

It's gonna be a light day. I'll be there.

Don't worry, all right?

I love you.

Robby? I guess the early bird catches the worm...

It's a cute little place you got here.

You teach karate, or gardening?

So, this is what it comes to?

Breaking and entering?

I'm just here to say thank you.

Thank me for what?

Well, taking our weakest soldiers from our ranks.

That was kind.

Soldiers...

They're kids.

We were all kids, once.

You may think you got the best of Johnny Lawrence.

But I promise you,

this time, I won't let him lose.

Lose what?

This isn't war.

Sure it is.

War never ends.

Peace is just the lull between battles.

Did you really think you can attack Cobra Kai and there wouldn't be any consequences?

You better hope that your students are ready.

Because I promise you, ours will be.

Regards to Mr. Miyagi.

It's good.

It has fresh acai,

organic kale, and free trade hemp oil.

Hemp oil? I mean, this isn't

gonna get me high, is it?

I don't think so.

It's supposed to balance your kinetic energy.

I'm really glad you called.

I missed hanging out with you.

So, which one do you like better?

I've been wearing the white top a lot.

Well, why does it matter?

You're just gonna get all sweaty.

Wait... Do you have a crush?

I don't have a crush.

Is it Robby?

Oh, my God!

How long have you guys been...

We haven't.

We almost.

Does Miguel know?

There's nothing to know.

It's crazy.

After last year, I got back into karate

to get away from all the drama.

Well, my mom's therapist always says,

"You can't hide from your heart."

I think you should wear the blue one.

It goes with your eyes.

All right. Now, shoes.

Hey, Sensei, I'm sorry about your loss.

Thanks.

So, how was the funeral?

As good as any funeral can be.

Yeah...

So, how'd it go around here while I was gone?

Great. I mean, Sensei Kreese is tough,

but, uh, he knows what it takes to win.

Who moved my stuff?

What the hell happened here?

Well, I spent some time organizing the place.

Bills were unpaid and invoices were backed up.

The military man in me couldn't resist.

You've been making yourself right at home, huh?

A buddy of mine took that photo.

Yeah, it's nice. I got a class to run.

Everybody get your gis on.

Training starts in five minutes.

Gis?

What?

Yeah, what's wrong?

Nothing is wrong.

I just thought we were going to the woods

for a special training today.

What's happening in the woods?

I thought it was a good time to separate the men from the boys.

And the girls, too, I suppose.

How?

Coyote Creek.

I'm not sure they're ready for that.

There's only one way to find out.

We're ready, Sensei.

We want to prove ourselves.

It's up to Sensei Lawrence.

If he says it's okay, then, and only then, is it okay.

All right, what are you waiting for? Let's go.

Oh, God!

It's so hot out.

I'm sweating in places I didn't even know I had pores.

What have I gotten them into?

All right, guys. Get out from under that tree.

It's time to get to work.

Hey, Mr. LaRusso, it's like 100 degrees out.

Can we take it easy today?

Are you kidding?

This heatwave is a gift.

Today, you are going to experience Shochu-Geiko.

Like the car insurance?

Shochu-Geiko is a Japanese exercise

where you train during the hottest days of the year.

It's about pushing yourself to your limit.

The fight isn't always going to come when it's 75 degrees and breezy.

Aren't we supposed to avoid fighting?

Sometimes, you can't. Someday, the fight may come to you.

And I wanna make sure you're ready.

So, today, we're gonna see what Miyagi-Do is made of.

Gentlemen, ladies.

Welcome to Coyote Creek.

You've been split into two teams.

Red...

And black.

The goal is to capture as many headbands as possible

from the other side.

Today, the people across from you are not your friends.

They're not your brothers.

They are the enemy.

The last team standing wins.

How do we get the headbands?

By any means possible.

No rules.

Use your judgement. This is just a training exercise.

Correct, but remember, this is your life.

You lose it, you die.

Hey, guys, sorry I'm late.

Traffic on the 118 was a real bitch.

Put Coyote Creek into the nav.

Nothing came up.

What have you done to yourself?

Oh, the...

Yeah, you know what, I just decided to flip the script,

Hawk-style.

Respect. Heretofore,

you can refer to me as Stingray.

Yeah, all right, Chubs. He's in your team.

Terrific.

Two...

Five.

Got you.

All right, Demetri's turn. Come on.

Demetri, get in there.

Set.

Three.

Sorry, Meat. You gotta block that.

Six.

I hate this.

All right, come on, get up.

Can we please take a break? This heat is brutal.

You guys wanna cool off?

Mmm-hmm.

All right. I think I can accommodate that.

So, what happens at the end of this if it's just you and me?

Then I guess I'll have to rip that pretty little head band off your head.

Yeah, this headband is staying right where it is.

Oh, shit.

He's all yours.

Nah.

Ladies first.

Thanks.

No hard feelings.

No mercy.

So, you couldn't take the heat of Shochu-Geiko,

perhaps, you'll find Kangeiko more to your liking.

Are there are no "geikos" that takes place in a spa?

No, it's not about the heat or the cold.

It's about adapting to the environment around you

and using that to your advantage.

Look around, what do you see?

Frozen London broil.

No, not the meat, look past that.

I see the exhalation of breath.

The twitch of a muscle.

The shift of a stance.

If you lean into the cold, it will heighten your senses.

And then you'll anticipate the moment before your opponent strikes.

And you'll always be ready.

Yeah.

All right, circle up.

Was that Daniel?

Yeah, he's not coming.

Hey, you've reached Daniel LaRusso.
