"Go to another angle" Johnny thought this was filmed by ESPN! : )
🤣🤣🤣
Lol
😂😂😂
Those jokes are getting better and better
That shii had me dying 😂
I liked how Johnny’s response to the pressure point was an aggressive attack. He stays true to his style, always striking first, doesn’t always work but he stays true to it.
Not at all. Johnny used true traditional karate while Daniel had to resort to the evil voodoo magic Miyagi had taught him.
Striking firster lol
@@kennethmalone4689 miyagi is evil 😭😭😭😂😂😂 bro get out
@@myst3rixusl3ftb3hind it's crazy how the fans and the characters of this show are at a civil war rn,and then there's the people who understand everything
@@myst3rixusl3ftb3hind well it's true magic is evil though.
The fact that johnny was able to counter the pressure point technique was amazing
Every move has a counter so I'm not surprised
He shouldn’t of used it though bro
Pressure points aren’t really hard to counter anyways
That was plot armor
@@houseofmatrix6174 Lol how? Can tell you don’t know martial arts. News flash Pressure points are not that hard to counter.
The Karate Kid is, with Cobra Kai, one of those rare franchises that managed to keep up the original spirit and make it work, while honoring the nostalgia.
It’s amazing how good old IPs can be when the writers love the IPs and respect their fans.
Unfortunately most modern writers seem to hate the IPs and the fans.
Cobra Kai does it all the right way, I’m so glad this show exists.
Spot on, sir.
To all those saying, "the pressure point didn't work" it did work. Johnny even yells, "what the hell, man?!?!". It's just that Johnny knew how to improvise and continue fighting w/o the use of his left arm.
Johnny is definitely a good fighter... "Adapt and improvise" and despite being at a disadvantage no less...
And Daniel's pressure point attack definitely worked... He may have not mastered it yet but the potential is definitely there...
He counters his lack of offense without his left arm with more offense. What a chad
what I love even more is that he doesn't yell it he just says it so casually and proceeds to counter it perfectly while Danny is so intense and even looks mad.
yeah daniel made the mistake of taking his time to go for the knee.
Because Johnny is not Daniels enemy
I like how even with the pressure point technique Johnny got that point on Daniel
Johnny is great fighter

This is an example of a show done right. A show where the writers actually respect their fans and love the source material. One of the rare gems in a sea of garbage these days
havent seen season 5 i can tell
@@llamazing4326
*What's wrong with season 5?*
The only show that did a sequel the right way
Yeah the Witcher should have been like this. Where the writers actually respected the source material instead of it being tossed out the window for politics.
@@llamazing4326 I did. It was ok, wasn’t the worst thing I’ve ever seen but it wasn’t anything to write home about either. Definitely got a little too over the top (even for a series like this) but overall the whole thing is pretty enjoyable and a love letter to the original movies.
Just in case anyone missed it: after their last attack, both stand up and want to see the results. No provoking, chitchat or arguments here. This scene is also very good because it shows that they actually have much respect for one-another, after what happened in the first 3 seasons.
But Daniel won. Johnny landed a direct punch to the head which is against the all valley tournament rules.

@@charleshermosisima4749 Daniel kicked Johnny in the face simultaneous to Johnny's backhand punch to Daniel's face. They BOTH hit each other in the face together and fell down together. So technically, they both lost.
Literally jumped out of my seat when Johnny countered the pressure point technique!
yeah bro same here i thought it was over when daniel used that technique but when he countered it, was the most badass moment of the season
me and my wife tooo!!!!!! but he counter amazing
Dude swear to god i screamed
Same, he’s quite the fighter despite a temporary setback

Johnny countering the pressure point technique was one of the most badass moments of this season.
He reacted it before daniel could go for his legs,, different story if daniel went for the legs first...
For every action there is a reaction...
definitly
@@habibhussain825 , if Daniel went for the legs first Johnny would have blocked it, Daniel can only catch Johnny off guard on the counter attack
@@agnikaineverdies7646 no
@@masonwright7700 Yes
The fact johnny is the only character who has countered the pressure point technique is crazy
Daniel uses pressure points
Johnny: fine I'll just use my legs
Kreese: *The Buffoon Is Flummoxed*
daniel didn't use the pressure point on Johnny's legs
@@bornokification johnny got an arm paralyzed and then won a point using his legs while Kreese was *Flummoxed*
cuz he didn’t use it on his legs
He did have a little bit of time to recover, or maybe can just tank damage a little better than most? That said his improvised take-down more than compensated.
1:56 That's the same move Hawk use against Robby, amazing
I'm amazed that no one talk about it. I litterally said that the day i saw Hawk's victory.
There are a lot of moves students do in reference to the senseis. In the same fight Robby used that distracting move of one arm, Silver used when he met Robby for the first time when he was training Kenny. Sam using the same pose Chosen used when beating the senseis of cobra kai, however it never shows Chozen teaching that to Sam. And a lot more so.
I knew I recognized it
I recognized it too
Not only did Johnny counter the pressure-point attack, but his second point is a mirror of the second point Daniel scored on him decades ago. Using the legs to take his opponent to the ground before striking. A beautiful call-back.
It works even better in this context instead of just a pointless callback for fanservice's sake. Johnny was down a usable arm, he could only perform a takedown with the right side of his upper body so he used his legs instead. I'm very impressed, both at the choreography and respect of the source material without resulting to cheap fan pandering that has no substance. There's an actual reason Johnny would runback the technique that worked at the All-Valley.
Its also the same move that Mr Miyagi did on Daniel when he was teaching him how to strike before the tournament - When Daniel got cocky and started doing the Ali Shuffle, Mr Miyagi did that very same takedown. I think that's where Daniel learnt it.
Kind of proves Johnny is able to think on his feet and adapt, while Daniel is still stuck in his ways.
That’s also how Eli won the finals against Robby.
@@Drifter1989 and an important reminder that he and the other students enjoyed learning both styles.
One thing that doesn't get talked about here is how Miguel and Sam announced the points reflected both of them veering away from their previous senseis and towards new styles. Miguel was the observer on Johnny's side of the mat but firmly announced Daniel's point, to Johnny looking at him shocked. Meanwhile Sam was on Daniel's side of the mat and firmly called Lawrence's point, to Daniel's shocked reaction from her
It was a great reflection on how both teens changed recently, and both senseis felt in those moments that they were let down a bit by eachother's respective students
But they really want their sensei to win you know at the last hit when they both hit together they both said their sensei's name
Seems more impartial that way. If Sam were calling out points for Daniel it just wouldn’t look legit.
Miguels persona is more geared towards miyagi do.
I noticed that too it was funny
It actually seemed to me the way that Sam and Miguel looked at Daniel and Johnny after they got hit, that they were disappointed that their original senseis were losing points when their style was supposed to be superior...
Props to both William Zabka (56) and Ralph Macchio (60) for doing this awesome fight at their ages!
Mind blowing that Ralph is older than William. In the first movie, he looks much younger than William. But that goes to show you that body structure makes a difference
@@Cayoroots he's also older than terry silver
@@Cayoroots
Not only that but he’s older than Thomas Ian Griffith (Terry Silver) and looking at both of them, you’d never think that were the case.
@@jesuspernia8031 sim. O Larusso parecia ter 20, e já tava beirando os 30. O silver parecia ter mais de 32.
Yeahh Ralph has been noted for looking extremely young. Even during the 80s and 90s he was 30 looking like 18
The pressure point move is so badass that it has its own soundtrack.
It is Daniel's Final Smash lol
I loved how Daniel uses the defensive moves he learned from Chozen.
same its sick
Chozen is gonna play a big role in season 5
@@laaz9584 I agree and something tells me Mike barnes will too
@@RomMor2 Silver is gonna call Barnes now that Kreese is in jail
@@the1nonlypabloo Certainly!!!!
The fact that Johnny was able to counter that pressure-point technique demonstrates his defensive development and willingness to accept a style of fighting that is considered different from his. Daniel would later demonstrate this later on, at the tournament, when he instructs Hawk to put his opponent on the defensive
It’s a tv show bro
@@estevancardenas7801 so what.
@@estevancardenas7801 It's still art that can be examined
@@estevancardenas7801 i know right always some tool
@@Skankhunt04 You're the tool.
I love how the fight visually shows what they lack that the other has, Johnny is too aggressive and impatient and Daniel is too passive and reactive, and that's with Daniel now knowing an offensive technique which Johnny powered through like a champ.
Daniel is still not comfortable going full offensive mode. He’s not a complete master of the technique he only spent a few days with Chozen at most. But next season I am sure he will learn the full scope of what Miyagi do can do.
@@elizabethfigueroa6159 I think now Daniel is learning offense but is still too immature. As Chozen said, "maybe he thought you were not ready or unable." Daniel's personality can't handle using offense. Chozen taught him an offensive technique move to use only on "enemies that insist on war" and without hesitation, Daniel uses it on an ally.
@@conorwellman8592 Daniel has always been this way. He settled for defense but he was always wanting to learn offense. KK3, he wanted to learn how to sweep which is more offense then defense.
@@elizabethfigueroa6159 I have always wondered if Miyagi kept the deadly side of Miyagi do from Daniel because he thought he was not capable of handling such dangerous knowledge or if he died before he got to that point in Daniel's training.
@@conorwellman8592 Dude, well written. I always thought "How is he unready? LaRusso has taken down all the big bads." But man, it wasn't skill he was worried about, but LaRusso's mind being too susceptible to corruption.
I just love how Daniel and Johnny are so used to fighting one another that immediately after the fight there is no hard feelings or anything lol, just back to normal.
Back to normal?? They split dojos after this what are you saying
@@JohnEpresent Back to normal. Friends, but still have a little bad blood between them. They didn't take the fight itself personal.
johnny should have done the crane kick in that night
Also Johnny has grown into a better man, although occasionally he goes back to his old ways, but it’s Johnny so I can let it ride
@@essaeldridgeYoBro yeah but le russo is the real bully and littleman
Johnny is really something else. Caught off-guard by a new technique he wasn’t familiar with. Still managed to win the point.
Ye shows he would have easily beaten up Chozen.
@@easygrin1127 nope.
Chozen literally mopped the floor with Daniel.
Johnny had a tough time with Daniel and the best he could do was get a double KO.
Johnny was Always the Better fighter, Daniel only had plot armor
@@ilteschio8244 Johnny being able to immediately "shake off" the pressure point-strikes doesn't count as plot armor? XD
@@Egobyte83 yeah but i mean overall, more explosive, more fluid, since they were teenagers Daniel style Is kinda stiff
This whole scene shows that Johnny is actually more balanced internally. Also: he’s an absolute badass for trivializing the pressure point technique.
Daniel being so cocky in this season
True but I do wonder how much of it was due to the fact that he witnessed it being used on Kreese in Season 3? I don't know if he saw it or not but if he did that might explain how Johnny was able to quickly counter before Daniel had the chance to hit the leg
Or maybe Daniel didn't do it with full force, he just used it to make Johnny numb and get the point. That's why Johnny still can use his hand again like it was nothing.
@@red23rd also true as he wasn't fighting for his life, unlike when fighting Kreese.
Either way it was probably the best and most perfect way to end that fight plus let's be honest was really funny
Then he took that L to Terry Silver XD
Daniel: *uses miyagi pressure point*
Johnny: its just a scratch
Tis but a scratch
@@556rickk THANK YOU.
“Go to another angle”
Like Johnny thought this was some UFC fight😂
I like how they look at their kids when they say point as if they betrayed them lol
Lol this is why terry made sure the ref was on their side
pretty much how they felt to their ace students in this whole season
What do you mean? Miguel called Johnny's point and Sam called Daniel's point.
@@1337ofDiscreet1 the fuck? No
@@SexLuthor 2:48 I'm telling you, Miguel called Johnny's point and Sam called Daniel's. Pay attention.
At the end,
Spectators : Whoa they're equally strong.
Joey Tribianni : Or equally weak.
This was further proof why their fighting Styles needed to be combined in order to form a perfect balance of combat technique that Miguel and Sam both realize they needed and fully embraced for themselves, they prove to each other by simply knocking themselves out and reaching a draw that they were very much a match in every way hence why I was so glad when they finally put aside their differences and rejoin forces at the end during the all Valley tournament!💯😉👍
Don't worry, robbie will take care both of them
I wish they weren't so stupid this season and they had realized that!
@@fry4guy421 more like they should have realized it sooner rather than during the tournament, I'm most definitely sure that if they had realized that during their rematch after reaching a draw the outcome would have been vastly different!
So next season are they gonna train each other more and Teach each other more of their styles and moves techniques
@@kidfury3546 technically they are not allowed to teach anymore because they lost the tournament against cobra kai, that was the deal they made with Kreese, so I'm not sure.. Johnny went after Miguel so he's definitely out. I think that in the next season Kenny is going to bully Anthony and as he seeks Daniel's help, maybe Sam will teach him the basics to defend himself, probably we'll see Anthony's redemption arc and probably Kenny's descent into cobra kai's aggressive mentality
This is amazing.. as teenagers, they had a match, and as adults, they had a rematch.🤩
and watch....once they are both in a senior's home, they'll have a match....again.
pressure points used
Daniel - Reacts in absolute confusion and fear
Kreese - Similar confusion and a hint of fear
Johnny - What the hell man?
he looked offended more than hurt
Jhonny its the man for a reason
Hence why Johnny said if he had anymore dirty tricks
He disabled his arm. That's pretty serious no telling if he would be the same after it wears off
I’m sure Johnny being younger than Kreese helped as well
@@chaserimes3958 or not being an idiot and swing instantly 🤣
When Johnny countered the pressure point technique with a scissor kick, I lost it bruh, that was so badass 🤣
Me too I like it a lot
Has anyone notice how Daniel and Johnny represent the yin Yang ☯️? Daniel in white with the black belt, and Johnny in black with the bald eagle. Symbolic of how chaos and order need each other
Nice comment👍
You mean their hair colors contrast their uniforms
and they philosphies are complementar, johny focus on atack and Daniel on defence, but in a fight both are necessary
And the same is true of their attitude toward their families.
Even with the pressure points, Johnny still gained that point
Johnny got an amazing counter take down with that knee kick Daniel was doing. Johnny is a great fighter but Daniel has reaction time like a beast
The reason the move did not work is because the move is used for when the enemy insists war. The problem is Daniel is the one unbalanced here due to his ptsd from terry silver and his is the one insisting on war making himself his worst enemy
He didn’t finish it and Johnny struck first when he realized what happened. He also saw it before when he fought Kreese
@@longneckedcurriedpinocchio7483 Great observation
@Haaris Abbasi yeah.daniel hesitated he let johnny recover
Even with the Pressure point Daniel used on Johnny, he is still evenly matched with him
He just learned it, not mastered it like Chozen

Daniel is only Master level
Cobra Kai is like a live action anime at this point
No one lost nor won, it was just a tie.
@@bojakai2102
Worked on Kreese though so he must be good enough at it, Johnny is just hella tough
Clearly Daniel didn’t do the whole pressure point he stopped in the left arm if he truly wanted to beat Johnny he would of hit both of his arms and legs and shoulders and got the easy point but he wanted to fight clean
@@bojakai2102 it is

He saw him use it against kreese lol so maybe that’s why
@@twongolaxp4402 No he didnt
@@twongolaxp4402 no he didn't saw it
This goes to show that Johnny's durable especially with the arm disabling technique used against him, and the music in that bit is epic!
Also, the countermove he sent against Daniel is smart as he taught his students to fight one handed just in case. TBH, Johnny can improvise on the fly as much as Larusso can.
I think Johnny can improvise on the fly a little better than Larusso can to be honest.

And thats why Miyagi didn't show Daniel the technique. The fact that Daniel used it on just a CASUAL POINT match shows Daniel's lack of maturity, as if he just wants to one up Johnny. That technique is ONLY used when youre in absolute danger and there's no rules.
EDIT: OK so I didn't see what happened prior to this, just clips. So it was a pretty serious match to see who has control of the students but still, doing something like the pressure point technique is rather at least near fatal and even using something like that is quite overboard.
Like he did on Kreese?
@@catspaw3092 yes exactly. Cos that wasn't a tournament fight

@@migueldiaz248 it was casual
Unless you're a drama queen
@@Winter2025 LOL. its not casual. do u even know what casual means?
They were so evenly matched to where it wasn’t funny. I loved how Daniel used that pressure point Miyagi-Do technique that Chozen had taught him when Johnny started pouring on the offense which goes to show that Daniel had evolved as a much smarter fighter than ever before. The point is that both Daniel and Johnny were always equaled to each other it’s just that Miyagi-Do teaches you how to be a much more patient smarter fighter while Eagle-Fang/Cobra Kai teaches you how to be a much tougher stronger aggressive fighter. You have to realize that when they were kids, Johnny didn’t fight Daniel when he knew Miyagi-Do karate until he fought him in the All-Valley tournament so maybe that threw him off and caused him to lose but in any regard, for Daniel to have only trained a couple of months against Johnny who was much more accomplished in Cobra Kai karate from when he was a adolescent boy tells you how effective Miyagi-Do karate truly is
Johnny obviously said what the hell man
Well said, well said.
I wouldn't say they were always equal to each other. Johnny was always bigger, stronger, more athletic and aggressive. However, the superior training from Miyagi Do equalized them as fighters, so I agree Miyagi-Do karate is truly effective.
@@metsrus I meant once Daniel got much more familiar with Miyagi-Do karate, he and Johnny became equals in a way because even as good of a fighter as Johnny was, he wasn’t as smart or as disciplined as a fighter as Daniel was. As Mr. Miyagi once told Daniel on when Sato tried to hit him with seemingly looked like a death blow “ No matter who’s stronger, only who’s smarter “ and that’s exactly what the pressure point method was about. Miyagi-Do karate also taught you how to be stronger like Cobra Kai it’s just that being patient with smart defense was the key to making it work to perfection. So in closing….
Johnny - the better aggressive more agile fighter
Daniel - the more patient smarter and more disciplined fighter
Their strengths and attributes offset each other which is how they’re so equal to one another
The fact that Johny was able to beat off presure Point shows who good he really is
Daniel uses pressure points
Johnny: fine I'll just use my legs
Kreese: *The Buffoon Is Flummoxed*
Shows how strong his plot armour is
@@mrshadow4007 nice darkest dungeon reference
@@kaineturner7369 You could say it was plot armour but you could also say it wasn't. Most likely plot armour since Johnny had never seen the pressure points in action yet.

I think we’re going to see the redemption of Kreese honestly. What happened to him at the end of the season was just uncalled for.
I think he will join Johnny
@@slim..reaper Why would Johnny let Kreese join him again after he betrayed Johnny and took over cobra kai? just doesn’t seem realistic
It wasn't uncalled for. Terry just showed Kreese what a real snake is like.
agreed... they even teased some redemption in him as he stopped Silver from attacking Johnny more in the old dojo, he didn't go mad when Robby lost to Hawk and he even encouraged Tory to fight fair when she looked to him for guidance instead of telling her to "sweep the leg" like he done in KK1. He has PTSD and mental health issues from his childhood, his mum's death & his childhood sweethearts death and then the war and his adulthood life post Vietnam that he has never truly healed from, as he is from that generation where it isn't "manly" to seek help & therapy and men dont cry to talk about their feelings.. I hope they explore this more in S5 and in his redemption arc. He clearly cares about other broken people from disadvantaged backgrounds (ie Johnny, Robby & Tory - he even sticks up for Tory on numerous occasions like with her landlord and amanda and although he tries to mask it as wanting the best fighters in CK I think deep down he uses that as an excuse to help people like her) and he probably would be a great mentor to kids like them if he just channeled his energy better.
Its possible kreese joining johnny, but johnny won't like it and won't allow it nor will Daniel, I imagine both would agree he has done more harm and especially for awakening a devil like Terry Silver.

Last scene between these two in Cobra Kai will be similar what Rocky and Apollo had
1:59 this move is identical to what Hawk used against Robby in the All-Valley tournament in Season 4, just goes to show how the move set and skills of the sensei will be mirrored and replicated by their students, it’s a good comparison in which for Hawk he has embraced both of his identities and has finally found balance while for Johnny, he has seen the errors of his ways and the messed up wisdom and teachings Kreese has ingrained to him and then he realized his rivalry with Daniel was because of different circumstances and ideologies but in the end, they’re just opposite individuals whom are practicing different philosophies towards their martial arts and that they are both learning to respect and learn from each other.
Yes

@Nixon Legazpi no shit sherlock.
@@fahim8563 Karate Kid is a classic Karate Franchise,but so is Cobra Kai so which Karate Franchise is more nostalgic and why?.
@Dante Trajano Johnny must have taught it to his students earlier on
I absolutely love that they were evenly matched. I desperately wanted this fight to show that both of their style's were "worthy" - and the coolest thing is that it was Johnny that could see that and not Daniel, and the reason for that being Terry Silver tipping Daniel off-balance. They've really stayed true to Daniel's character in this season - even with all the training and life lessons he received from Mr. Myagi, deep down he's still a hot-head and the second he saw Silver that showed. He completely lost focus, threw everything he's learned out of the window and became aggressive, misusing what Chozen taught him to try to ensure things went his way and even after that when it was clear that he and Johnny were evenly matched his stubbornness meant he couldn't let go and accept they needed to work together until it was too late.
Nah Daniel needed to see how both styles were "worthy" since he didn't respect johnny style.
Chozen's exacts words on the Miyagi pressure point attacks were: "If an enemy INSISTS on war..." This was just sparring and there was no mal intent. Kreese had every intention to kill Daniel during their fight and it's because he had no choice but to use it that it saved him. Daniel misused it here and it's why it didn't work.
@@madpinoy5683 I agree. I think at first glance you can watch this and see Johnny's reaction of "what the hell man?" as confusion as to how Daniel did what he did, but Johnny had seen him do it to Kreese, so I think it was more of a "really? You're so desperate to prove a point you're going to do that?" - like it seemed more like disappointment than anything else from Johnny. Daniel was teaching Miyagi-Do to the kids, but he was never going to be teaching them anything like the pressure point techniques, it was obviously far too advanced and dangerous. It was at that point that Johnny realised that Daniel was fighting because of his own personal issues with Johnny and Silver that he couldn't let go of rather than thinking about what was best for the kids.
@@madpinoy5683 I don’t understand
@@djmreacts5808 Chozen basically said to only use the pressure point attack if your life and/or the life of those you care about is in danger. Kreese was ready to kill Daniel at the end of season 3 when they fought. Here Johnny and Daniel were just sparring so Daniel didn't need to use that technique.

@@shadyshyguy4058 Yeah it definitely looks like Johnny’s going to look for Miguel and considering that Miguel went on a bus to Mexico City, he’s probably going to follow him
Pressure points technique in a points scoring match? You can see why Miyagi never taught him that.
Exactly my thought, this wasn't a life threatening situation. He is more Cobra Kai material than he wants to admit.
Yep because Miyagi knew that daniel is not wise enough to use that technique properly he's still a hot head.
This was a fight for who got exclusive teaching rights, not a petty dispute. Daniel genuinely believes here that the kids are in danger from Terry if they continue learning Eagle-Fang karate. Right or wrong, his choice to use this technique shows us how scared he is and how serious he is taking this. And we know how dangerous Silver is. So, life and death, maybe not, but to Daniel it’s the kid’s safety on the line. That’s worth consideration.
@@hannahwhite367 he was also trying to show that miyagi do is better than eagle fang.
To be fair at least he didn't used the full technic and just paralyzed one arm, I think that's gonna be a problem in next seasons, Daniel is going to start abusing the new technics and eventually is going to turn Cobra Kai without knowing it
Johnny overcoming Daniel’s pressure point technique is such a perfect representation of the message of this show.
In the original Karate Kid film, Miyagi’s philosophy and lessons were always portrayed as the morally superior and the correct way to live life, while Cobra Kai’s lessons were shown as the indisputable wrong and corrupt path to take. This was symbolized in how Daniel ultimately defeated Johnny using the Miyagi fighting style, which demonstrated that Miyagi’s outlook was the better option.
But Cobra Kai is different in that despite both Johnny and Daniel having completely different outlooks on life and what’s best for their students, neither one is proven as better than the other. Despite all the fights and feuds that happen throughout this series, they both ultimately did have a positive effect on their students, all while sticking to their own beliefs. Johnny specifically, whose way of teaching could easily have been portrayed as evil and wrong, is proven to have taught his kids how to be brave, take risks, and confront their problems.
So him successfully countering Daniel’s pressure point move, a move he literally learned during a spiritual journey to Japan and would have been the move that won this fight normally, just by sticking to his own fighting style proves that both of their outlooks on life and fighting are considered equal, despite how much they hate each other.
There was so much suspense in this scene 💀 My hands started shaking and sweating and my foot wouldn’t stop bouncing
Sensei lawrence, the only one able to counter the attack on the pressure points. A round of applause for Jhonny.

lets be honest, johnny wasnt happy to see that lethal move, he was expecting more a "Traditional competition" but the pressure point scared him a little(his eyes,said that he was surprised), johnny is not the kind of guy who got afraid of something so easy
True, plus he was like “ what the hell man” he was shocked and kinda disappointed. But it’s all good because Johnny improvised quickly.
@@jg2722 true,in fact part of that was because he already saw that move,in s5 he mentioned that he saw daniel beating kreese with that,probably he never knew that the move was so "painful" but thanks to his instincts he made something
Daniel's first point here was pretty cool.
The way he used the feints to force Johnny backwards into the mini-crane kick was nice.
Underrated moment in the fight: Daniel used the crane kick and won the point efficiently and fairly this time.
That's true as it wasn't an 'illegal' move due to the lower-striking area of the chest.
He did really. A quick version of it too. Just noticed it as making this comment.
¿"this time"?
Tbf, Johnny went with his head first in the original movie.
Besides the tournament this season, this was easily the best fight. The choreography has gotten so much better since their season 2 fight
Im not sure why but Robby for some reason always gets the best choreography, his fights have the most appealing movements.
@@chrisbreezy-ryanbarbosa4320 irl he does have some experience in Taekwondo and even Muay Thai, so the choreography probably comes easy for him. It's obvious he has skills just watching his scenes.
This season had so many good fights. I am so happy it ended in a tie.
No he didn’t lol if u look a lil bit closely at the end when they both got hit Daniel fell b4 Johnny
@@AceOfficial337 Dude just let it be lol
@@AceOfficial337 its not about the fall its the hit
@@Syrace no its not. its about who fell first.its not about the hits.where did you learn that from.its about whether the oponent gets back up or stays down.thats how these things work,this is basically wrestling except with kung fu.or if the both competitors blow at the same time it who ever falls first determines the round and daniel fell first so jhonny won.
@@Mm-je8sw so in the tournament miguel tried to kick hawk but hawk but his arms up and he fell so if hawk fell why didn't they give miguel a point and the show literally makes it as a tie in all of their fights as adults they tie so i dont know why you johnny fans keep trying to make a case that johnny won when it literally was a tie
We all saw it coming and yet we all laughed our asses off and cheered it. It’s just gold. This scene was gold!
The move that daniel used when johnny said wth man is very dangerous and almost killed kreese. But the fact that johnny was able to counter and get a point after that was amazing:)
This fight is brilliant because i noticed there are moments where,despite Danny and Johnnys beliefs would do a switch off...at times Daniel strikes first as to where Johnny would actually wait and defend...it genius because it showed all these years there is no right way of fighting in terms of their dojo beliefs
the show is about balance. this fight shows it. they tie because both use eachothers styles mixed.
@@Revkor This is the best Story since 1984.
Let's not gloss over the fact that William Zabka and Ralph Macchio are still doing their own karate stunts at ages 56 and 60, respectively. Much respect, gentlemen.
False
It's a well known fact that Ralph Macchio does not age.
The best frienemies in cinema history.
My jaw dropped when Johnny countered the miyagi pressure point attack
I like how Daniel uses the crane kick but at Johnny's stomache.
But the pressure points counter was the highlight here.
Johnny Did Sum Sin Cara/rey mysterio/ Wwe Take Down with Both Legs on Daniel and Then Kicked Him in the Stomach to Get a Point
I laughed my ass off so hard at so many scenes in this season. One being the double knock down. This has been the best season.
I don't think the writers will ever have a winner in any of their fights at this point. More or less because it will risk disrespecting the one character if one wins.
(Miguel) Point Larusso : Johnny gets mad
(Sam)Point Lawrence : Daniel gets mad
After Daniel used Chozen's lessons against Johnny, Johnny still fight back daaamn they're badass🔥👊👊👊
Daniel sucks. Johnny has always been the real karate kid
I laughed my ass off when they knocked each other out!😂😂😂
Lol. Right. I don't know if it's just me, but I tend to think Daniel and Johnny are somewhat analogous to Ryu and Ken from Street Fighter. I mean they both know some form of Karate.
Me too!!!
@@thegoodwin They totally are, except Ryu and Ken are using the same style, just different approaches ( Ken has a much stronger Shouryuken than Ryu, while Ryu is more skilled in the Hadouken )
@@ShinryuZensen , just imagine:
Daniel Larusso: "Hadouken"
Johnny Lawrence: "Shoruyuken."
@@thegoodwin Lol I was thinking Scorpion and Sub-Zero 😂 but also Ryu and Ken are also good analogies. All 3 groups are friendly rivals who think theyre better than the other but reality all evenly matched.
anyone getting Ken vs Ryu/Evil Ryu vibes here??
Love how they both knock each other down 😅
The pressure point technique failed against Johnny is not because he overpowered Danny. Johnny was well prepared in scenarios where he can be at disadvantage such as fighting one handed. He taught his students to counter their opponent’s clever/uneven tactics.
Daniels tactics is to quickly stop a threat by using the surroundings or to cripple them temporarily
Johnny tactics is fight and to still even the odds despite the disadvantages
Not a lot of people caught that - when Johnny was teaching the students to fight with one hand. Dude’s natural talent is on another level. If he can just clean up his head…
This is it. Go back to the first season when Johnny was first teaching Miguel. His lesson was to never give up, even when at disadvantage, even when trapped, a cobra should slide and slither and find a way to attack anyway.
@@robertbouley7697 he only taught that because of that fight
Also to be honest, Daniel was losing his resolve
@@Reprodestruxion exactly he set himself up and started going offensive rather than defensive
If Miyagi taught Daniel the pressure point & saw him use it in the rematch with Johnny he would've been pissed & disappointed in Danny & yet at the end it was a draw they ended up knocking each other down. In this fight Daniel was fighting dirty but yet Johnny got the upper hand on him Johnny should've actually won he had been studying martial arts for years. Whereas Danny Boy was only studying for months.
Right the creators just couldn’t giveJohnny one win he’s the better fighter
@Johnny Gio no he’s not
That’s wrong. Daniel has been training for years too
@Johnny Gio Johnny admitted that Daniel is the stronger fighter
Yeah but that goes to show you how effective Miyagi-Do karate truly is….you don’t know need a lot of experience to know enough to truly defend yourself and you have to realize that this is set 40 years after Daniel defeated Mike Barnes to be the only back to back All Valley tournament champion so he knows a lot more karate than ever before which makes him a karate master along with Johnny and while yes, Daniel using the pressure point technique was unnecessary, it was Daniel’s way of him saying “ Look how far I’ve come as a fighter, I’m way smarter than I ever was “.
When Daniel used the pressure point technique I thought the battle was concluded, but Johnny really surprised me.
you know😂 robby is for real johnny's son because even with their one arm they still dominating against opponents
I'm dont know why but that double KO really make me laugh...
It was a hyped moment 😂 when we thought who was gonna win 😂
Im with Daniel all the way but that Scissor Takedown Johnny did was awesome.
I love how Daniel got cocky after seeing Johnnie's reaction just to get schooled with a counter that he didn't have the brains to come up with
The way Daniel turned to Sam when she said, “Point Lawrence.” Daniel felt I don’t know betrayal.
Further proof that Sam cannot be true to any man let alone her boyfriends 😅
At the last point they both stayed loyal to their sensei.
@@chosen-slayer9669 yeah. But Sam still went ahead to train with Johnny when Daniel didn’t want her too. It’s because Johnny Sam made it to the Semis.
@@cadenbagasao9344 maybe she'd have made it to the finals if she followed and stayed true to Daniel's teachings 🤣
@@ChaseEverything she did make it to THE finals against Tory
What I love is when Johnny says go to another angle (obviously part of the running joke about how he doesn't understand technology), LaRusso also looks at the screen expectantly for a moment.
Still tech dummy
I think it speaks that in the first movie Johnny was truly better than Daniel but was blinded by hate for daniel, sadness for ali, and kreese threatening him to fight dirty that caused him to doubt himself.
After 40 years of Johnny not learning anything new and having just recently gotten back into karate yet he matches Daniel who fought many more enemies and continued training with miyagi until 2011.
This was one of the best scenes in the series and that ending of the fight was perfect 😂
This was so good to finally watch them fight again. You can tell the vibe was different. Johnny was more determined this time and Daniel was more fearless
they fought briefly in every season so far though i get it this was a actual fight with stakes
@@JSmoothSoul right
Nice throwback to Rocky 2, like Rocky and Apollo, both fell down at the same time
They should have given the point to the one that got up first.
I think Miguel said Rocky 3.
@@Utah842 he isn’t talking about rocky 3😐
Ali watching this: Damn guys, you didn’t listen to a word I said at the Christmas party!
This scene is hilarious (Jonny’s end quote of another angle), tense/awesome (seeing them officially fight again), and sad/tragic (seeing what Cobra Kai did to Hawk). But I think what this fight proves is...there’s really no winner. They’re both great fighters and equally good at it
I got scared Daniel was gona embarras Johnny by immobilizing him with the pressure point
He would have if Johnny wasn't good at improvising.
1:37 When that theme played, I was like: " OH SHIT HE IS ABOUT TO USE HIS ULTIMATE"
Jajaja ikr. And Johnny’s ultimate is definitely the tornado kick, though he didn’t use it.
that stance! i love this show!
What is that theme

Have fun
JOHNNY not only countered the pressure point technique, but also scored a point against it. really impressive.
Let's appreciate the music in the whole Cobra Kai series. Especially in this fighting scene, in which the drums just rise up the tension right before the pressure point technique.
Dude Johnny’s fighting stance always scared me! He makes himself look bigger and more intimidating in some way, especially with him ecstatically bouncing on his toes
Two heroic masters still at the top of their game, duking it out for keeps. Love this show.
A true master is humble and always learning.
I just noticed that Johnny rolls his sleeves up where Daniel hit his pressure point after that exchange to protect that area. On the fly fighting at it's finest.
Well said.
Just finished watching the season. IT WAS FANTASTIC
so thats 4 i great season n a row makes me worder if season 5 can be as good
That ending was plot twist inception my fav season finale so far
The final 2 episodes saved it for me. It wasn't that it was bad (it wasn't) but this is the first time where it seemed unfocused. They had too many irons in the fire and 10 episodes wasn't enough to fully explore everything. It probably needed 12-13 episodes, honestly. However, it ended VERY strongly and season 5 is a total blank slate that I'm excited to see.
@@caomhan84 ye I'd give the early season a 9/10, mid season a 7.5 and late season a 10.
I liked Terry Silver as a Villain than Kreese.
0:18 The background music, while Daniel and Johnny are ready to fight and you can still see the scene from the first part..... I had goosebumps.
Have to say this series is beyond good loved the scene where when they started to fight they showed the Old school scene and nowadays scene same stance and same preparation before the first round started also loved it when Daniel wanted to win his 3rd point with pressure technique yet Johny countered it
Cant wait for season 5...
Crippling your opponent's arm in a point sparring match? Seriously Danny boy? Imagine trying this hard.
I legit thought that it was over when Daniel got the pressure point but Johnny was just like, "Not cool, man"
