My favorite fight scene is Johnny fighting the cobra Kai sensei group and realising he can’t win with karate so he just starts throwing people around like it’s a bar fight powered by whiskey and white claws
I'm still wondering how Terry Silver is as dangerous as he is, able to hire instructors that are probably assassins, and still ends up running a discount mcdojo for troubled teens. This guys tunnel vision is his on another level.
Maybe still coked out behind the scenes? In the scene that introduced him in the show he said, "I was on so much cocaine, I spent months destroying the life of a teenager over a karate tournament: who does that?
One thing that kinda bothers me in those fight scenes,especially in setups like the first one on this video is the fact that they always just go at full intensity from the first blow. They don't try to find the distance,they don't work the jab,nor the angles and kinda take turns,instead of being more active while being on the defensive side. It'd be nice to see a check hook or a pivot here and there
@@ruslanshavkatov466 To be fair, his a bit dense and more focused on being “cool” than even being a slightly decent fighter, he does it more to be social with strong people. His got potential but it’s gonna take a miracle to get him to learn.
@@ruslanshavkatov466 If I had to guess it's one of two things. A) Tunnel vision. He wrestles as a sport, so since he's not actively competing in a wrestling match, he doesn't think to use it or doesn't think it will work (happened to a friend of mine I used to spar with in high school. He was a wrestler but wouldn't use wrestling in sparring we pointed out to him that wrestling is okay). Or 2) he got his ass beat by Johnny, then Miguel, so he might have some kind of mental block that if he tries to bust out wrestling he will lose again, even though he now has the striking training to back it up.
@@norcan9879 wow! It's cool to learn that was his stunt double. The casting in this show is just crazy good. From old characters to pro athletes to even the extras
@@jalankvng @@jalankvng I think Tanner's dance background helps him. I think in an interview it was said he only did a little taekwondo when he was only 10 or 11 and then trained Muay thai right before the show. Jacob did 4 years of some martial arts and plus grappling. Xolo also took Karate as a kid. I personally have a hard time watching Miguel and Robby fight or Miguel and Hawk and believing that Miguel is the best. Sometimes he just looks awkward where Tanner looks so clean and athletic and Jacob looks like he knows what hes doing. :)
You, Jesse Enkamp, Yusuke from Karate Dojo Waku and Stephen WB Thompson in the season 6 world tournament would be the dream man. Though I guess that means the main characters would have to beat you guys up though lol.
5:13-being in a large melee definitely uses an adjacent skill set. When I used to do larp combat, I was pretty garbage in tournaments but would absolutely wreck in a big field melee.
Siiiick! Love the video! Man, I wish I could forget everything and rewatch this series. This is one of the only shows where I was so hyped and sooooo interested in every single episode.
When it came to the Chozen vs Silver fight, remeber that the gigachad Satsuma samurai with their Katana, Yari, Yumi etc and their JiuJutsu, Kenjutsu, Sojutsu, Kyujutsu etc absolutely destroyed the Okinawan soyboy betamales with their Karate. Chozen as awesome as he is, had no chance against a true Weeb like Silver.
Been thinking about starting karate but hesitant bc I’m 31 and nervous about being to old. Been watching you for a couple weeks now and the content is great watch it everyday.
I'm 38 and took up Tang Soo Do recently. It was hard for me at first, but my sensei took that into account with the strength training. Took it easy on me...at first. Once he saw I was improving, he started to ramp it up and expected a lot more from me. Now, I feel a lot stronger and am getting better at the push ups (my greatest weakness) and improving at executing the forms and one steps. I'd say find a legit martial arts studio and keep at it. Just as long as you're not expecting to be as flexible as the younger students (and a legit sensei will know that), but you'll still see an improvement overall for your body.
@@adamskawesker5102 thanks. There’s 2 places I’m looking at near me one is actually where the guy that plays mike Barnes grew up training at. That place is shito ryu and then the other place is shotokan. Having trouble deciding between the 2 styles
Cobra Kai inspired me to start finally start taking Karate...at 40. Since then I've lost more than thirty pounds, competed in 3 tournaments, and am training for an amatuer MMA event this spring. 30 ain't even remotely close to too old.
I started an offshoot of kyokushin when i was 39. My advice is to worry less about the style and more about the instructor. See if you can try a class at each and just go with wherever you are more comfortable regardless of style. Best of luck!
Thank you!!! Was thinking the same thing about the silver bullet move. Every martial art everywhere that practices punching in a horse stance teaches punching to the solar plexus.
wait was that a reference to the martial arts journey youtube channel originally created as a channel mainly covering aikido and after the creators mid life martial arts crisis it became some random thingy
13:22 that is perfectly doable in real fights and it isn't even that hard to do but it is not done much because it's kinda of an asshole move like crossfacing with your elbow but for striking
What I did not like about this season is it seemed like they upped the shaky cam and the jump cuts. If you have neat choreography and good actors/sunt doubles there is no need for that.
Ok, stupid to watch this, I know. I still haven't watched the last three episodes ... I have given up on keeping away from spoilers loooong ago. It is fun anyway. Thank You. (And I once saw Morio Higaonna demonstrate sai against an opponent with a bo ... assuming Chozen is near the level Higaonna was then, I would have bet on him against Silver. Oth plot demands ...)
as a 10y Kenjutsu practitioner, that sword scene looks so slow, he doesn't even have a proper grip on the katana ( the last scene wasn't that bad tho) , some random half-kamae, guess I'm glad he was the bad guy
Joe is 32, he was in freedom writers 2007 and looked about 18. If he was born in 1998 he would’ve only been 9 in freedom writers and his obviously not lol
I have a conspiracy theory about this show, but I have nobody in my life that's nerdy enough to care about it. A few seasons ago, Robbie attacks Jonny in a fit of rage. Jonny barely even acknowledges he's being attacked. Hardly needs to block or dodge. Yet, Robbie is one of the strongest of the teenage fighters. Also, it's not unusual for one of these otherwise unathletic teenagers to take karate classes for like a month and somehow become amazing, even making it to the finals in the All Valley. Here's my theory. The audience isn't watching the fights as they actually happen. We're watching what the fighters envision is going on in their mind. In their mind, these teenage white belts think they are amazing, but in real life, they're just spazzing out on each other. We've all been there. We thought we were pulling off some crazy move and then watched a video clip and it looked lame. I think this also explains why these fighters are able to take legit kicks to the face and shake it off like nothing happened. Now, I can't help but watch this show thinking that it's all just the day dream of some Minecraft and D&D dorks, so in reality, the epic dojo storm was a bunch of white belts spazzing out for 30 minutes until the grown-ups stopped them. Thanks for letting me share my conspiracy theory!
I think the Cobra Kai fight scenes feel kinda stiff and a little slow. The camera placement is not so bad, but it can be better. The slowmo isnt bad, i think i just dont like slowmo, i am a big hong kong kung fu cinema enjoyer, and i know those films focus 90% on the action and fight scenes, and have perfected its style.
@@wolfcorpse yeah (Jackie would crank it up to 10 or 15% i think. Cobra kai could have sped it up if it made it better, but obviously its a different style of action and it needs to be judged as such) i still prefer the angles and rithim of the HK fights.
@@oveialoka249 A little fun fact: In Hong Kong movies they sometimes record the scenes in 22fps but play it back in 24, so it is faster but doesn't look that uncanny.
My favorite fight scene is Johnny fighting the cobra Kai sensei group and realising he can’t win with karate so he just starts throwing people around like it’s a bar fight powered by whiskey and white claws
"Local Sensei literally too drunk to die"
In addition to the Way of the Fist, Johnny has also mastered the Power of Yeet.
@@fissilewhistle
What's yeet?
Actual karate has throws.
@@kwanarchive yeah I do old school and the throws are crazy
“Me and you fight right now, winner gets the children”- Sensei seth 2023
I love how Danny uses stuff he learned from Terry against him. And it's cleverly set up like a tournament fight
Remember when Robbie learned a ridiculous looking unblockable handstand kick, and then never used it again? What a sportsman!
I'm still wondering how Terry Silver is as dangerous as he is, able to hire instructors that are probably assassins, and still ends up running a discount mcdojo for troubled teens. This guys tunnel vision is his on another level.
He's the Forest Gump of evil karate. He never meant to do any of the other stuff he just kinda stumbled into it along the way.
Isnt he very rich and pretty unhinged. I mean, i can see how he is a threat.
How was it a mcdojo
Maybe still coked out behind the scenes?
In the scene that introduced him in the show he said, "I was on so much cocaine, I spent months destroying the life of a teenager over a karate tournament: who does that?
Tell us you're getting old without telling us you're getting old
Seth: I think Johnny's dadfu is my favourite
10:58 the sparkle effect had me laughing way to hard😂 like it’s so, anti climatic.
Thomas Ian Griffin, who plays Terry Silver, has a black belt in tae kwon do. That helped him get cast in KK3. So his kicking is totally legit.
And kenpo (kempo? Idk) karate!
@@jacksonmuaythai good callout
The great thing about the show is how they were able to find great redemption arch's for each of the 3 antagonist in the KK franchises.
You forgot the other K
@@bigbywolf5197:0
Yes,I said it Craig!
The silver bullet is a knuckle punch to the sternum. All the power is focused is such a narrow surface area.
I totally love these breakdowns, especially since Seth knows karate and he knows what traditional karate is like

Tanner Buchanan has a really cool style that he's developed. Love watching him mix it up
I agree...also most of that big fight he is fighting his own stuntman (Thomas Watson) so you know it's really him doing that knee and stuff. :)
@@norcan9879 wow! It's cool to learn that was his stunt double. The casting in this show is just crazy good. From old characters to pro athletes to even the extras
Agreed. All the rest of the cast have said Tanner and Jacob are probably the best fighters on all of them.
Yeah Tanner and Jacob had the most experienced in martial arts than the other young actors that’s why their moves are very sharp and clean
@@jalankvng @@jalankvng I think Tanner's dance background helps him.

U should break down Kreese's prison fight, I personally find it to be one of the most interesting fights in the season
I hope they get you in for the next season Seth. How awesome would that be!
Sensei Seth for season 6! Even better, we get a call back too and get to hang out 😂.... That show was a blast to work on!
You, Jesse Enkamp, Yusuke from Karate Dojo Waku and Stephen WB Thompson in the season 6 world tournament would be the dream man.

Zack deserves better. That is all.
Hi Seth. I don't practice martial arts of any kind, but i love your content. Just found you last week or so. Keep up thr great work.
I'm sorry but the first scene is just implausible. Ain't no way you're kicking like that in jeans! Especially without warming up whatsoever.
Siiiick! Love the video!
Man, I wish I could forget everything and rewatch this series. This is one of the only shows where I was so hyped and sooooo interested in every single episode.

Mfw when my (small) kingdom gets colonized by an empire and people call us soyboys in the future.
Love ur content as much as cobra Kai ❤
I have ascended past “books own dr appt” to “uses phone app to schedule a preferred appt with specific dr”
The favorite TH-camr thing yeah you deserve it sweet T
I been waiting for this
Watching cobra Kai for me it's a love and hate relationship. I hate it but I always end up watching and I've been reluctant to watch the latest one.
Poor Zack, but that was just funny as hell. When the clock appeared on the screen, just comedy gold!
Am I the only one who looks further than the cool technics, asking what and why teenagers fight for this violently
3:51 I commented this exact thing while watching the fight. That was stupid, Johnny.

@@adamskawesker5102 thanks. There’s 2 places I’m looking at near me one is actually where the guy that plays mike Barnes grew up training at. That place is shito ryu and then the other place is shotokan. Having trouble deciding between the 2 styles

Crazy Seth, that’s not like you
I do have “some” experience breaking up crazy chaos fights in the street
(I work security in Dallas) bar scene, it can get crazy
Maybe you could arrange a chaos fight with Icy Mike. I would watch that.
you should rank every character based on how much you like them
Damn awesome
Sensei Seth, you should react to all of the fight scenes in Karate Kid one.
could you make a part 2 with the rest of the fight scenes from season 5?
Yooo Seth can’t wait to collab in your next vid 😁👍
lol when i reacted
i swear i also heard some rhythm
That "High-Low" punch was done in a UFC Fight, just watch Usman vs Strickland🤣
React to Karate Kid one.
wait was that a reference to the martial arts journey youtube channel originally created as a channel mainly covering aikido and after the creators mid life martial arts crisis it became some random thingy
*Checkout* those crazy 8 on 8 MMA Norwegian fights.
I liked the little sanchin kata Chozen did fighting Silver
13:22 that is perfectly doable in real fights and it isn't even that hard to do but it is not done much because it's kinda of an asshole move like crossfacing with your elbow but for striking
what belt would each character have??
SETH KNOWS GEKKISAI
They should cast you in the upcoming season and have you face off against silver 😂
For the crane kick, Terry literally turned around into it. He didn't know it was happening until he got kicked in the face.
Uh oh, you finished with an eye poke...does this mean we are getting a breakdown from Krav next?
you should react to ip man fight scenes
What I did not like about this season is it seemed like they upped the shaky cam and the jump cuts. If you have neat choreography and good actors/sunt doubles there is no need for that.
👍👏 U should be in this show too!!
#kobrasenseiseth
Where can you submit a video?
Ok, stupid to watch this, I know.
I still haven't watched the last three episodes ... I have given up on keeping away from spoilers loooong ago.
It is fun anyway. Thank You.

Real sai are often share at the tip
Hi seth
Hi seth
Hi seth
hi seth
When you don't see their face it's a stunt double
Not always
lots of taekwondo like the axe kick and triple roundhouse combo. I'm not a karate expert I'm a Wing Chun expert
Oh I have watched the show
as a 10y Kenjutsu practitioner, that sword scene looks so slow, he doesn't even have a proper grip on the katana ( the last scene wasn't that bad tho) , some random half-kamae, guess I'm glad he was the bad guy
They nerfed chozen
Come on, have not seen it yet and I do not have any good answer why). I will get back after I watch the show)
Assuming they both woke up why didn't either of them needed to go take a piss
And when Chozen vs sliver are fighting mind u that Chozen is drunk
Seth doesn't have Netflix
you can take notes from johnny
that 2:34 edit...
Don't fight on concrete kids, you could die.
Chozen is not dead!!
B
Joe is 32, he was in freedom writers 2007 and looked about 18. If he was born in 1998 he would’ve only been 9 in freedom writers and his obviously not lol
Cmon everybody knows sai from TMNT , Raph wields them 😀
Miguel’s 2nd to last punch was where he wanted to calm down then he threw one more bc why not he still has a lot of beef with Robbie😂
