Hey Nat, the actor of Kwon, Brandon H Lee, is actually the son of my Taekwondo coach at Lee's Champion Taekwondo Acedemy. He used to be there a lot and would even instruct me in class sometimes. Super cool guy anf I'm glad he is living his dream of being an actor.
awesome
That’s so awesome
That’s really cool, he seems extremely skilled👍
Why are you lying
@@joshuaballer12456 why are you in denial
The goat reacting again to CK
Also Kwon (The guy who does a 1v3 at the beginning), is played by Brandon H Lee, a 5th degree blackbelt in Taekwondo and National Champion.
Yeah, that's probably why his character's name is from Tae (Kwon) Do
Oh I’ve heard of him actually I think, that’s interesting👊thanks for letting me know
The Korean guys are Taekwondo artists irl but the art that they're supposed to portray is Tang Soo Do, which is a Korean martial art that birthed the style of Cobra Kai.
Tang soo do has a lot of taekwondo as like half of its foundation. The more karate part comes in after when the Japan occupation ended and the Koreans combined karate, some kung fu and other arts that make up Tang soo do, which is what Johnny uses in cobra Kai. He taught this to most kids, if not all but mainly Miguel and Robby. That’s why you see a lot of taekwondo kicks, cuz of this origins.
This serie actually made me switch from boxing to MMA, kicks and throws are just soo cool
That’s cool, hope you’re enjoying the new training👊
Thank you Nat, we have been waiting for this.
Duuude frrr
You’re welcome, hope it didn’t disappoint👊
i have just started kyokushin karate because of you Nat thank you
the first fight you watched, that actor is Brandon H Lee, hes a 4th degree black belt in taekwondo, and he’s been training since the age of 2.
He’s very good👊
@@nathearn He is a LOT better than you, you pompous, narcissistic jerk.
That flipping kick Kwon did is called the Rolling Thunder, it’s used in the UFC. Justin Gaethje tried it against Max Holloway a few months ago and missed, and then Max laid him out with 1 sec to spare in the whole fight.
Cobra Kai is Tang Soo Do, according to the back story with Kreese back when he was in Vietnam.
Ah, Tang Soo Do, the brother to Taekwondo
It would be fun to watch some Karate vs Taekwondo in Cobra Kai or even better mixing both styles
Just to be accurate cobra kai is actually tang soo do (Korean karate) that’s what the cobra kai students in Korea train in. However what you said about the actors that play the Korean cobra kai students they are black belts in taekwondo
If it gets more people into Martial Arts, then it's a good thing.
Agreed 💯
😂😂 man it's funny because first of all people will come with unrealistic expectations to uneffective martial arts and when they finally try somthing that works like boxing mma or whatever they going to get punched in the face and than their karate fantasies are out of the window. I saw it many times happen
The style in korea they use in cobra kai is tang soo doo its like if karate and taekwondo had a secret love child
Not just karate and taekwondo. It also has some kung fu and other arts, including judo. Tang soo do is super umbrella now and continues to grow.
Cobra Kai is confirmed to be tang soo do. It’s very similar to shotokan or teakwondo
I never watched cobra kai but now i think I should watch
Definitely should
Really really good show
But you might wanna know the backstory of karate kid
the guy you were watching at 1:11 is Brandon H Lee and they are using taekwondo cuz hes the taekwondo world champion
First guy fightig is a 5th degree black belt in taekwondo
Yeah I can tell, he’s great
National champion too
Omg nat you replied to my comment and did the cobra Kai reaction your the man
Glad you enjoyed bro👊👊
Bros about to get a life time of content in November 💀
😂😂😂I’m looking forward to that
Cobra Kai is based on tang soo do and miyagi do is based off goju ryu
As I understand it for continuity of the show, Cobra Kai calls it karate, but actually practices Tang Soo Do, much more similar to Tae Kwon Do.
Im not sure exactly what arts the Cobra Kai style is based on but it's most likely Tae Kwon Do or Tang Soo Do. I do know the Miyagi Do style is based on Goji Ryu Karate and the fictional character of Mr. Miyagi was named after the real person Chojun Miyagi who is the founder of Goju Ryu.
@@YouthFreedomFighters Cobra kai is probably a mix of shotokan and american tang soo do
Also, cobra kai probably calls it karate because tang soo do roots come from karate practitioners but is alot more similar to early korean karate and tae kwon do
The actors went on strike and tbh I kinda saw they’re skill decreasing and the choreography not as good. The Senseis are the only ones who kept up with their training. The Taekwondo guys are real athletes who have most likely been training since kids
Yeah the taekwondo scene was great👍
the one who beat those 3 by him self is international taekwondo champion in both USA and Korea
yeah tanner buchanan (robby) was around black belt level in taekwondo before joining the cast
He's also a practitioner of Muay Thai. I kinda wanna see Tanner in a movie that allows him to lean more into the kickboxing aspect of his arsenal.
Yeah it's true xolo too do jujitsu, taekwondo, karate and kick boxing and he is black belt in Hall and jacob too
A spinning crescent kick is a lot easier to pull the force on, safer for acting. One could pull the force on a spinning back hook kick, but you'd have to be razor sharp and only slap with the pad of the foot, instead of hooking the target with your heel. As far as throat strikes, they are pretty popular in in Taekwondo, won't see them in sport TKD but in practical TKD, after 1st Dan, a lot of throat strikes are taught.
Cobra Kai is the classic Bullshido. Getting a black belt in 6 months is crazy
Cobra Kai Karate style originated from korea that's why it has advance spin kicks
I love the movies and show, but high schoolers winning karate tournaments with at most two years of practice under their black belts is just unrealistic.
It takes literal YEARS just to develop the muscle memory required to perform these moves.
And in season 6 they are competing in an international tournament that only allows the best fighters in the world.
Again; these are high schoolers who just joined a kids' karate class a few years ago.
The show makes karate look way too easy.
"Hit this, then kick that. Ok, that's great. Here's your black belt."
Its a show😑
@@EveryonegobrrDoesn't excuse inaccuracy. With the budget of main stream studios, it would be easy to find some good screen writers
Real fights and tv/movie fights have always looked different. Go all the way back to Bruce Lee movies where he would take out 30 guys at once, but it was always one at a time, they would only attack him one at a time to make it look good, but in reality, if all 30 guys had rushed him at once, it wouldn't have been a fight, it would have been a beat down.
@@DarkRob316no in the move he would actually provide spice for himself, because most of the time the only reason trained people lose in jumpings is because they lack the space
Cobra kai karate is actually taekwondo, its from south korea, and most of the stuff they do is taekwondo, they just say its karate. I even recognized one if the forms they were doing.
It's tang soo do, idiot
Cobra Kai's brand of karate is technically identified as Tang Soo Do, which is basically Korean karate (though the recognizable elements of Tae Kwon Do are present in Tang Soo Do as well). Brandon Lee and Daniel Kim do a great job demonstrating their Tae Kwon Do skills in the show. Also, if Nat gets to reacting to the fights in Season 6 Part 2, I think he'll appreciate the Tae Kwon Do skills of a particular female fighter.
1:03 in the show its not taekwondo its tang soo do which is basically Korean karate.
In the first clip, the actors, especially Brandon H Lee, are trained in taekwondo, although the marital art they're representing is tangsoodo
It's Tang Soo Do .. heavily influenced by Tae Kwon Do, but still karate~
Kwons actor is Brandon h Lee, who is a 5th degree black belt in taekwondo, he even stunt doubles Shang chi
Cobra Kai Karate comes from Tang Soo Do. Kreese trained it in the military. "Tang Soo Do" means "The Tang Hand", referring to the Tang dynasty, which occupied Korea. The Koreans adapted Tang Soo Do from Shotokan Karate, which later became Taekwondo.
Video idea: Sparring random people at the MMA gym until i get knocked out, also cobra kai is not karate its tang soo do
They say it’s Karate but yea it’s Tang soo do but Mike Barnes is Shotokan Karate but realistically it’s just mix martial arts
Not like mma but multiple martial arts
Brother getting knocked out in an MMA gym is not a normal occurrence or a good thing . Unless it’s hard sparring that video will last forever.
Your dojo always looks really cosy
2:35 rolling thunder (the flip kick) is a kyokushin move
Ye ig he didn't do kyokushin unlike me
@@TheDistilleryRaider nat's style is shotokan iirc
Babe, wake up, Nat just uploaded.
😂😂thanks bro
Finally you actually reacted to it🎉
I did😎
Goodnight , Nat 😊😊👋😪😪
I’m die hard Kwon fan. Really hope there’s a sprankle of hope he’s still alive
yippee I cant wait to finish this video
Same
Hope you enjoyed🤝
You should do another one when Part 2 comes out! :) Great video!
Yeah I will do more of these for sure👍
Nat 🐐🐐💨💨
Hawk is the typa fighter that is like if I see an opening im using it and ur not getting back up from it😂😂
Everything can be solved with 1 simple thing
Back kick
Johnny in adults and Miguel in teenagers
i think the korean fighters' marital art is based on tang soo do which is just korean karate, from that fight scene alone you cant get the full idea but most of the training and other moves are shown outside of the fighting
yooo the new season crazy asff thoo
It looks crazy
@@nathearn true that i cant waitt for the part 2 and for u to react to it
Everyone in the comments is saying that the Korean Cobra Kai students were using Tang Soo Do, and that's what they're training in, however, Brandon H. Lee has been training in Taekwondo since he was 3 years old, and is a 5th degree black belt in Taekwondo, per. his website.
they want you to think its a hook kick but they do the crescent kick because it shows more of there face so its better for the movie!
Do season 6 part 2 please theirs a lot of badass people like Zara and axel
FINALLY, been waiting like a year for this. But really?? Not Barnes vs Johnny reaction? My fav season is 1 and fav character off martial arts ability Kwon
For context in the Korean scene, Kreese went to recruit Tang Soo Do students
It's actually Tang Soo Do taught by Master Kim. I started Karate because of Karate kid and Cobra Kai. I've been doing Shotokan since the 17th of November 2022 at the end of September I'll have my green belt exam. Osu 🥋🔥 i guess i can say CK is based on a mix of Tang Soo Do and Karate. The Korean fighter who came to John Kreese is Kwon Jae Sung (Brandon H Lee) A Taekwondo black belt.
Hawk is my favourite character all the way you should definitely watch cobra Kai
I met Jacob Bertrand and Peyton List.
They were so down to earth.
Great kids.
My shihan hates cobra Kai with a passion
@@badace15 Any reason why?
@@1lionyouth I think the innacuracies
What’s a shihan?
@@prozain4296 head teacher
@@prozain4296a rank higher than sensei
Robby is my fav too
Why dont we have more long form vids. we need these
Part 2 Of Season 6 Gonna Be Interesting 😵💫
It already came out 😵💫
Rip grandma (used a back kick)
I have been waiting for this and it was worth it.
About getting more flexible. I stretch every night before I sleep. Stretch the outside of the hips, a side split and the hamstrings
Nice, keep up the great work👊👊
Really good vid
Thank you mate👍
Brandon H Lee (Kwon) is the goat
Man doesn't need stunt doubles
His actual not just a actor he did taekwondo
Yeah i heard, that’s cool👍👊
I really don’t know if you’ll see this, but it’s not mean to be a spinning hook kick, crescent kicks are just more flashy plus you can see the actors face, you were right Brandon Lee who plays kwon is a black belt, him along with you have actually taught me a lot lol.
Love your vids.
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HAWK IS THE GOAT!!!!! 🦅🦅🦅🔥🔥🔥
Yeah I agree🐐
@@nathearn W
@Nat Hearn. Well done Master Hearn you have made karate a respected Martial art once again. I myself have been training Wado Ryu for 16 years now and achieved my 1st Dan back in 2015. My Black Belt is my most prized possession.. I would love to sparr with you sometime if I ever get the chance. but for now Master Hearn OSU!.
Kwon aka brandon h lee is my favorite in martial arts bc he has a 5th degree in taekwondo
Its not the miyagi do way
Shut up 🤫
GET OU-
i love cobra kai mann
Nice💪
Great vid keep up the work
Thank you👊👊
@@nathearn aye no prob
How dare you call cobra kai Unrealistic,THAT NOT THE MIYAGI DO WAY😭
GET OU-
1:14 it’s Tang Soo Do not Taekwondo I did the research
All the scenes are well explained
Keep up the great work i love your videos and hope you have a good day
Hey bud, just so you know, it's not TaeKwonDo, It's TangSooDo, they have similar roots, but essentially split and went in different directions, TaeKwonDo went the sporty route, TangSooDo kept more toward the spirit of Karate but still had the flares and kicks, it's an interesting bit of history I'd recommend you look into if you'd like a good read! :)
TSD IS KARATE, 100%,
@daddy9267 It's a style of Karate for sure, usually referred to as Korean Karate, similar to how TKD is referred to as Korean Karate
The guy has zero clue about what the show is about but just bashes it based on his limited ideas of what martial arts should look like lol.
@daddy9267 Not disputing that, hence why the movies were called "The Karate Kid" however, TSD is more like a grandson to Karate, it's a combination of Korean Military Martial Arts and Moo Do Kwon, and Moo Do Kwon is the Korean translation of Shotokan Karate, Moo Do Kwon split off into two groups forming TSD and TKD
Nat, come to Hollywood, California needs you 😀
Brandon H. Lee is the actor that plays kwon who 1v3 the other fighters and their fighting style is Tang Soo Do
tanner aka robby's actor is a real life martial arts practioner
and kwons real life actor is a black belt taekwondo artist
@@thenewbb ik
@@thenewbb same with zara
Rayna*
@@AlanR15 and kyler too
YOOOOOOOOOO NATTTT WSPPPP LOVE THESE VIDS😊
Underated channel
Thanks mate👊
Its TangSooDo. Cobra Kai Originated from TangSooDo but I do hate how they only do Taekwondo Kicks and not represent the Art itself.
Taekwondo will just get called "Karate" all over again instead of it actually being its own martial arts which is rooted from karate but has branched off long ago. Tangsoodo is much more closer to Karate in terms of Techniques and such, hence the nickname "Korean Karate"
hey man just saying i think the fist one is tang soo do. great vids man
It could be Taekwondo as well, since there is more than just kicks in Taekwondo. But I don’t know much about Tang Soo Do so couldn’t say for certain as I only do Traditional Taekwondo
@@justakathings I see but it’s coz of the lore of kreese and silver, they learnt tang soo do. Even chosen said it but idk bro🤷🏿
@@PromiseJohnson. Oh really, then it probably is. I haven’t watched much of Cobra Kai
@justakathings its ok idk much either lol
Thank you bro👊👊
I love these videos
I’m glad you do👊
hawk is my fav character and s3 hawk vs brucks is my fav scene
Johnny's and cobra kai karate is based on tangsoo do and taekwondo as well as miyagi do is pure karate
Good knowledge hahah👊
From an outsider perspective, the story got more and more bonkers while the choreography keeps improvin.
This is Nat's excuse to watch Cobra Kai.
Mine too though 😂
😂of course
Love this please do more
Will do, thank you👊
Aye under 20 mins anyway i love the content ❤
Nice, thank you👊
So I am a Taekwondo black belt three, and when I saw the Cobra Kai people fighting, I was confused. Then, I realized that it was in korea, as well as it being called a *dojang*, not a dojo. Cobra Kai is not karate guys. Its Taekwondo. I feel scammed.
no its tang soo do a korean variation of karate
@ tang soo do must be similar, cause a lot of moves from taekwondo are in cobra Kai
@@FlameBoltmc yip they count in Korean as well, I'm taekwon-do guy we do have tournaments with Tang soo do clubs as well
They even mixed some kung fu style
@ and no karate LOL and I think in the final all valley hawk and Robby were doing bjj
My guy finally updated his recording gear.
You truly are the chaddest One
Hahah thanks bro
cobra kai season 6 part 2 just released a few weeks ago, review the fights pls
Your the only reason I’m one punch man
Hey nearhen💣🌝 can you please make a video on muay Thai basics?

Convinced bro could make a career in modelling 🔥 💯
