Cobra Kai Season 1 Synopsis
Thirty-three years after his defeat by Daniel LaRusso in the 1984 All Valley Tournament, Johnny Lawrence leads a difficult life as a repairman. In addition to losing his job, his life becomes more and more chaotic. LaRusso Auto Group is the car dealership of Daniel LaRusso, which is also a fact of the situation. Johnny once, by chance, comes to the aid of a young boy named Miguel Diaz when he is threatened by a group of bullies. Initially reluctant, Johnny decides to train Miguel and reopens the Cobra Kai dojo with money from his stepfather, Sid. The return of Cobra Kai sparks tension with Daniel, who views it as a symbol of his dark past.
Further, Johnny's clashes with his son, Robby Keene, who is feeling alienated and blackmails his father by getting a job at Daniel's dealership out of revenge on his father, is another problem for Johnny. At the same time, Miguel develops into a brave fighter through Johnny's mentorship, but his motto "Strike First, Strike Hard, No Mercy" that is teaching him becomes the reason for his aggressive behavior. Cobra Kai becomes more popular thanks to the Maloney Diablos, including Eli "Hawk" Moskowitz and Aisha Robinson, who, in the meantime, are pulling Daniel's daughter Sam LaRusso into the circle of their martial arts rivalry. Through this, Miguel Kloze is able to defeat Kyler and his gang confidently, which impresses Sam, but a trivial misunderstanding weakens bond between them. During the same time, Robby makes the bond with Daniel stronger and starts karate lessons at Miyagi-Do learning his philosophy.
The climax occurs at the All Valley Tournament, where Cobra Kai competes once again. Miguel makes it to the final against Robby, who is now Daniel's student. However, Miguel fights dirty by attacking Robby's injured shoulder, ultimately winning the match. Johnny, realising his teaching methods have led Miguel astray, feels disappointed in himself. Meanwhile, Daniel decides to open a Miyagi-Do dojo in response to Cobra Kai's influence. As Johnny drowns in his sorrow, the unexpected arrival of his former mentor, John Kreese, flags a bigger conflict on the horizon.
Cobra Kai Season 2 Synopsis
Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) who analyses the Cobra Kai philosophies in a different way, perhaps for the very first time, is seen to be shifting gear. Kreese (Martin Kove), Johnny's former teacher, comes with a wish to coach at the dojo, just like the good old times. Johnny turns him down given their previous negative experiences together. On the other hand, LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) besides Cobra Kai, made a move to Rival it by starting Miyagi-Do Karate Academy and among the first students were Robby Keene (Tanner Buchanan) and Mu daughter, Samantha LaRusso (Mary Mouser). However, Miyagi-Do, which doe not have the same popularity as Cobra Kai, struggles with the recruitment of new students.
The producers are set to rock the boat as the two dojos are pitted against each other. Tensions at the school rise as Johnny, hitherto unpopular with the students, begins to incorporate a new teaching approach to the students whose lives are in his hands. On the one hand, we have the Miyagi-Do dojo here that has some issues with Daniel who spends too much of his time there and it causes the friction in his marriage with Amanda (Courtney Henggeler). At the same time, Demetri (Gianni DeCenzo), who was once a member of Cobra Kai, moves to Miyagi-Do after being treated unfairly by Kreese. New kid in town, Tory Nichols (Peyton List), a street fighter joins Cobra Kai. Her coming adds more complexity to the situation because she gets involved in a grudge match with Sam about her personal issues and the relationship she has with Miguel.
The culmination of the hostility between the two dojos occurs during the school battle. In a brutal, violent clash, Tory kicks Sam, thus provoking a fight between Cobra Kai and Miyagi-Do. Miguel and Robby eventually come to blows, and while Miguel initially fights to his best, he later extends a hand of friendship to Robby and as Robby turns away from him Miguel without thinking pushes Robby off a balcony, almost killing him. Furthermore, Amanda, madly as she is, closes Miyagi-Do to Daniel, and however, Johnny is not controlling Cobra Kai as Kreese has the full control power of the dojo. Deep down, Johnny dumps his phone, though not realizing that his former girlfriend, Ali Mills, has just sent a friend request on Facebook, thus creating new possibilities for an unexpected future.
Cobra Kai Season 3 Synopsis
After an inevitable skirmish at school, Miguel Diaz (Xolo Maridueña) malingering in a coma and Robby Keene (Tanner Buchanan) on the escape path, Cobra Kai and Miyagi-Do's hostility is escalating. Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) who is tormented by a feeling of guilt for Miguel's state of health rapidly tumbles down into alcoholism until he's incarcerated by the police. At the same time the injury that Miguel sustains, Samantha LaRusso (Mary Mouser) is being blamed by some parents for the fight that occurred, is one of the problems the couple Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) and Amanda (Courtney Henggeler) having alongside their car dealership business being in jeopardy. Finally, Miguel awakens, but the dream of walking again is shattered as he realizes that he is handicapped now, which prompts Johnny to support him even more. On the other hand, Johnny and Daniel unite to look for the fugitive but Robby, frustrated by a sense of betrayal, the one who handed him over to the police to get a lighter sentence, causes their endeavor to fall apart.
Meanwhile, John Kreese (Martin Kove) becomes a real dictator in Cobra Kai, dismissing the students he sees as weak and enrolling new combatants such as Kyler (Joe Seo) and Tory Nichols (Peyton List). In the midst of all this, Cobra Kai's savagery, Hawk (Jacob Bertrand) is more and more under Kreese's control to the point that he is able to ruthlessly beat Demetri (Gianni DeCenzo) when they meet in this cycle. Accordingly, he goes to Okinawa then he meets Kumiko (Tamlyn Tomita) and his nemesis, Chozen Toguchi (Yuji Okumoto) and Daniel is dealing with more than he anticipates. He learns new knowledge from Chozen like Vitapoints and how you can subdue an enemy without harming him. Meanwhile, Johnny employs unique methods to motivate Miguel to walk again, including taking him to a rock concert. Miguel gradually recovers, but his relationship with Tory deteriorates after he refuses to engage in the feud between the dojos.
The tension culminates when Cobra Kai students attack the LaRusso home, triggering a massive fight with the Miyagi-Do and Eagle Fang Karate students - the new dojo Johnny founded after leaving Cobra Kai. Amid the melee, Sam ultimately conquers her fears and defeats Tory, while Hawk turns against Cobra Kai and reunites with Demetri. As Johnny confronts Kreese in a fierce fight, Robby surprisingly chooses to defend Kreese and attacks his own father. Daniel arrives just in time to stop Kreese with the technique he learned from Chozen. They agree that Cobra Kai will disband if they lose in the upcoming All Valley tournament. Simultaneously, Kreese contacts Terry Silver, the notoriously ruthless former Cobra Kai mentor, signalling a greater conflict up ahead. Conversely, Daniel and Johnny finally unite, training their students together to face the larger looming threat.

After the competition, Miguel goes to Mexico to find his biological father while Johnny stays behind trying to find him. In other news, Kreese is double-crossed by Silver and sent to jail, which means Silver has complete control over Cobra Kai, therefore, a dojo expansion across the city would be possible.
