Johnny Lawrence isn’t given that much screen time in the film. There’s enough to set up the rivalry (it’s about a girl, of course) but the film chooses to focus on the mentor/mentoree relationship between Mr Miyagi and Daniel LaRusso.

There are a lot of parallels between the original film and this modern web series that are worth understanding better. It’s not necessary to watch the entire 4/5 film series. Just the first one. Maybe the first 10 minutes of the second film if you want to. Next, we've got some awesome Cobra Kai mugs.

We've got some awesome ideas that will make any fan of the show happy. The Karate Kid is the story of how Daniel LaRusso overcomes the odds and defeats Johnny Lawrence, his bully, with the help of Mr Miyagi, a stoic maintenance man from Okinawa.First up, we've got some great Cobra Kai T-shirts. These shirts are perfect for showing your love for the show, and they make a great gift for any fan. Cobra Kai was founded in the early 1980s by John Kreese, a decorated Vietnam War veteran and champion martial artist. Kreese had opened a number of dojos across the country, but it was his school in Reseda, California that would produce the most successful students. For the next thirty years, Cobra Kai remained dormant. But in 2014, Johnny Lawrence resurfaced and decided to reopen Cobra Kai with the help of his former sensei, Terry Silver. But just who the hell is this guy? Even when Kreese gets to the aforementioned beachfront property, and we find out that it’s Terry Silver, plenty of fans who haven’t watched The Karate Kid Part III since it was in theaters 32 years ago may not remember who he is. Fans of Cobra Kai who have never watched the movie series will be completely at sea.

Cobra Kai's success came to a crashing halt in 1984, when Kreese's top student, Johnny Lawrence, was defeated by Daniel LaRusso in the All-Valley Karate Championship. Kreese was so enraged by this loss that he disbanded Cobra Kai and disappeared from the public eye.The plot of The Karate Kid Part III makes less sense than an eject lever on a helicopter, which might be why it currently has a 13% on Rotten Tomatoes. Silver is pissed that LaRusso and Miyagi humiliated his old friend Kreese so he concocts a plan to get Mike Barnes (Sean Kanan), a midwestern Karate champ, to California to defeat Daniel-san in the All-Valley Karate Tournament. But Mr. Miyagi has convinced Daniel not to compete because he no longer has to defend his honor and should not use karate for his vanity.
