What is “Cobra Kai” all about?
Set 34 years later after the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament, Cobra Kai delves yet again into the “Miyagi-verse, where a down-and-out Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) seeks redemption by reopening the infamous Cobra Kai karate dojo, reigniting his rivalry with a now-successful Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio), who has been struggling to maintain balance in his life without the guidance of his mentor, Mr. Miyagi.
The story’s development revolves around the primary relationships of Daniel and Johnny, which lead to conflicts that are ultimately the product of their inability to move away from the past.

However, as Daniel’s car dealership begins to tank, he must return to Okinawa, Japan to promote his business. While there, he reunites with his old fling Kumiko, and ex-rival Chozen Toguchi.
