As soon as he was in anything even resembling trouble, he tapped, collected his paycheck, and signed up for the next fight. He made a decent amount of money and kept his brain mostly intact.

It makes a lot of sense that ultimately, Kreese was looking to lure some "natural athletes" away from mainstream sports and drop his misfit students like a rock.

By the by, there's something called "Karate Combat" which apparently runs on the same rules as the All Valley Under 18 Karate Tournament. Like, you're allowed to throw a guy and then punch him once when he's on the ground, but no wrestling. It was on TV while I was waiting for my burrito. I remember that on Walker Texas Ranger Chuck Norris basically taught the same kind of karate as Cobra Kai. I've always been a little curious about that kind of karate because the sparring rules were very different by the time I was studying it. We had to wear foam-rubber gear and there was no hard contact or grappling of any kind.

My impression was that Kreese was participating in war crimes by being part of that squad, not that the US government gave a crap about war crimes at the time. It's interesting how Kreese didn't learn anything from being manipulated and exploited by a quixotic lunatic who wanted his own little private army. Well, he learned that he should replace that guy.

I doubt that there was ever a legal transfer of ownership from Johnny to Kreese. Johnny's name is probably still on all the paperwork. Kreese isn't dumb, though, and if there was ever a legal question he'd probably claim that Johnny just abandoned the business and Kreese graciously kept it going so as not to let the students down. It was actually refreshing when Johnny goes to see Carmen; I was expecting her to confront him about his date selfies, but nah, Miguel's there with a black eye. I'm sure she'll get mad about Facebook at some point; everybody does.

punk rebel ecks posted:(and if anything Cobra Kai is correct in almost all of it's fighting advice). One thing he is really good at is spotting someone who's not going to be useful to him, and leading his students in bullying that person, so that they don't turn on him. This season felt the most relevant to my experience as a teenage karate nerd, especially all the stuff I hated about tournaments. It really brought out the worst in the instructors who we were expected to regard as some kind of guru.

Idunno if I get it either, but there are karate oldheads who insist that you can only train in a room like the Miyagi-do shrine with a sprung wood floor.

A lot of sport karate tournaments allow hits to the head, but not the face. That only makes sense if you wear sport karate gear, though. (It doesn't cover the face, which answers the obvious question of where the head ends and the face begins.)
