I'd argue that Demetri was being a class-A prick saying that Johnny works for them and has to do what they say. He didn't treat teachers of his public school system like that citing that his parents pay taxes, so why we he do it to a different teacher just because it's not dealing with academics?
Just like Hawk I imagine I would leave when I realised all my friends were gone and it was just Kyler and a bunch of other goons. Then again if I found out Hawk had stolen the medal of honour I might have left then
When Kreese took the dojo out of Johnny’s hands. Even before he got bad again, I never liked Kreese or had a good feeling about him. I’d ride with Johnny for a while, and eventually probably swap over to Miyagi-Do.
The Miyagi war medal theft being made known backed with Johnny being booted out. With Eagle Fang appearing on the scene, I'd already picked up an Eagle Fang shirt to match that season's end. Now I'd swap over to Miyagi-Do since Chozen officially backed it last season, though I'd probably wait until the next season for a new shirt with the unified dojo logo.
Probably after the school fight when Kreese takes control of the dojo and the students turn on Johnny. Yes, Johnny's teachings are pretty brutal but I feel he's just trying to run a business and bring a bright future. also him running Cobra Kai convinced me to join his training
I guess when terry silver is beaten by that car salesman, how embarrassing would it be if the local car salesman beat your sensei in front of everyone then had him arrested. Before that thing would be gravy, kings of the school, all the smoothies you could drink
Work got too busy. Kids started picking up their own after school hobbies. You take a break for a while. You never really intended to. It's been a year now...
As much as I like CK under Johnny in S1-2, I’d have probably left earlier (around the lining up to be punched in the face by Aisha thing or the MOH theft), but if I stayed, I’d leave with Johnny when it was going out of control like a cult.
I had no problem with Johnny's style, I would have if he'd just been tough on me and treated others more calmly. It would come out just as Kreese started to intervene.
Probably when they trashed the Miyagi dojo... or when they chased Demitri in the Mall, or if any of that made me leave, I would definitely leave after the school fight (in which I wouldn't have participated)...
I'm with Demetri here, Johnny's attitude would have been enough on its own, but seeing a new student beaten up for pointing out we don't have to fear the dude because he has a snake on his wall, would be a clear sign to quit now. No need to wait for cement trucks or being thrown in a swimming pool with your hands tied
I’m not a tough love person. I wouldn’t ever have felt safe being a weak newb there, and as hilarious as I find watching it, I DEFINITELY would’ve bounced the minute Johnny started any kind of chauvinistic/sexist banter.
I love Cobra Kai in the show but if I'm being honest I would probably quit straight away and join Miyagi do because it's a much more peaceful and friendly environment. Then Terry Silver's luxury version of Cobra Kai would probably attract me enough to leave Miyagi do and join them. After a few sessions with Terry I would probably be too afraid to leave lol.
Would’ve been gone with Johnny. I’m overweight and not really athletic. Johnny would probably try to push me hard to get me into shape. Kreese would just say I’m too weak for Cobra Kai and kick me out of there (probably after letting the other students beat the tar out of me).
Johnny was an asshole and a fairly bad teacher at first, so I would leave and find another dojo. If not then, then 100% the cement mixer scene. If not then, then Kreese would kick me out when I refused to kill the mouse. If not, I’d leave when Terry became sensei, because I wouldn’t be able to focus haha 😉
When they insisted that dickheads like kyler and his gang come in and be the top, at that point it’s not even about learning the art, don’t get me wrong, I believe you should be hardcore as fuck when you take on combat, but they got that whole douchebag “bro” skip leg day except football drills Chad wannabe sort of style, I think the best example of the perfect Cobra Kai desciple is hawk, he was wicked skilled, badass, angry and all kyler is is the so called “perfect specimen” with the biggest shit eating grin in the place, he’s only dominant in fights because of his prior athleticism, he doesn’t have the fire in him, the will to fight, he’s so full of himself, he doesn’t even care about the art, or the sport of combat, and that’s just sickening, and the same goes for his posse
Always finding Sensei Lawrence’s toenails in my protein shakes. And the strangest thing with my catching this mysterious 4 year long reoccurring pink eye from, and I quote “stop laying on the floor of the shower and trying to listen for the sound of the ocean in the drain holes”
Kreese's existence, Eli turning into an asshole and the school fight. Like seriously who tf tries to kill someone who kissed their bf? Like being pissed is understandable but trying to kill/injure Sam was too far and I blame Cobra Kai/Kreese.
When Johnny was kicked out. My Sensei was kicked out of our old dojo by the biggest prick ever. She now has her own dojo and I will stand by her side forever.
The karate. Aside from the fact that it's karate, which I get that some people enjoy, the level of karate they're teaching is what I would expect if an 11 year old was teaching. It seems like that would become apparent before the fucky attitudes.
Leave with Johnny definitely, Johnny Lawrence's Cobra Kai was the best... He taught the 3 main rules of Cobra Kai BUT with the exception of not being an asshole and teaching the kids the difference between no mercy... and no honor
Cement mixer training, when Johnny just unleashed a pack of dogs at the students. That would have been it. Now if I managed to stay through all that, then I would probably leave with Johnny.
Probably as I realized, how Kreese brainwashes everyone. Depending on my connection with Johnny, either after Miyagi-Do gets trashed or after the school fight, as Kreese takes over.
If I don't leave after the school fight, which I'd honestly just stay out of or pull the fire alarm like in Mean Girls, I'd definitely quit when Tory starts planning the home invasion. Just nod along, smile politely, slip away and then call the police on the Larusso Home and let them sort everyone out.
As soon as miyagi do started. Free karate by a local celebrity known for their martial arts or pay for some talented drunk who hasn’t grown from his teenage years and puts me in danger multiple times.
Either the junkyard scene, the cement mixer scene, or I would leave with Johnny.
Cement mixer would have been out for me. That shit could not have been great for them to be in like that, and it’s so unnecessary.
After the house invasion. They straight up broke into another person’s house with no provocation and assaulted multiple people
“Half the squad quit”
Tbh, when my friends all quit.
When Johnny left probably or just stayed
When I see how douchey every one was.
Or when I realise that theres some weird Karate Cult Gang War going on.
Once I realised miyagi do was free. I'm broke.
when johnny & miguel left
Kyler’s goofy ass haircut
Came here to say this. Silver should beat his ass.
What about Kyler just being there (I’m a Kyler hater)
Kyler got his ass beaten by Kenny because he was cocky af
I probably would end up leaving quickly like Demetri. Johnny was kind of an asshole.
I think personally that he only wanted His students the very best they could be, and didn't mean to be an asshoe
I'd argue that Demetri was being a class-A prick saying that Johnny works for them and has to do what they say. He didn't treat teachers of his public school system like that citing that his parents pay taxes, so why we he do it to a different teacher just because it's not dealing with academics?
Demetri deserved everything he got
Just like Hawk I imagine I would leave when I realised all my friends were gone and it was just Kyler and a bunch of other goons. Then again if I found out Hawk had stolen the medal of honour I might have left then
Bold of you to assume I'd leave
Facts the only reason I’d leave is if I was kicked out
When Kreese took the dojo out of Johnny’s hands. Even before he got bad again, I never liked Kreese or had a good feeling about him. I’d ride with Johnny for a while, and eventually probably swap over to Miyagi-Do.
The hamster incident
Season 8. Sensei Kim realises I'm failing to block her kicks on purpose. She is grossed out. I am politely asked to leave.
When Johnny release a stray of (maybe rabid) dogs to his student. In real life he would be put in prison real quick for child endangerment
Builds character
Probably the warm up. I'm out of shape, but not in a Stingray way.
The Miyagi war medal theft being made known backed with Johnny being booted out. With Eagle Fang appearing on the scene, I'd already picked up an Eagle Fang shirt to match that season's end. Now I'd swap over to Miyagi-Do since Chozen officially backed it last season, though I'd probably wait until the next season for a new shirt with the unified dojo logo.
Probably about the time i mouthed off to Kreese and am made an example of.
Probably after the school fight when Kreese takes control of the dojo and the students turn on Johnny. Yes, Johnny's teachings are pretty brutal but I feel he's just trying to run a business and bring a bright future. also him running Cobra Kai convinced me to join his training
I would've stayed until the bitter end. Even after Daniel defeated Silver. 😉
i mean the cobra kai dojo is pretty stacked
Yeah, staying would come with benefits tbh. If I were to stay till the bitter end, I would just stay out of the trouble with the main characters.
The bottom picture
Middle one's enough for me Kreese is total nuts with is war obsession
I’d go with johnny after he makes eagle fang
When Johnny left. I would follow him anywhere.
The moment they decided to kick johnny out, I'm loyal, it's a strength and a weakness.
to be really honest, the second someone kicked me in the face and johnny tell me to stop being a p*****
I'm incredibly loyal, I'd have left with Sensei Lawrence.
You would have been loyal to a man who sicced a bunch of dogs on you and the group?
Nobody’s being realistic here. It’s clearly when Johnny literally released junkyard dogs on everyone. They all could’ve literally died
Builds character, and strength. Not gonna raise a bunch of pussies that can't handle a few dog bites 😤 /Johnny
Probably after the school fight or when hawk leaves
I would’ve quit soon as Kreese kicked out Johnny and then joined Eagle Fang with him & Miguel
I don’t think anyone in real life would stay once they see that student safety is non existent in cobra Kai
Whren Kreese took over
Joining Eagle Fang
Nothing, I want to be the real villain
When Tory leaves.
Home invasion or probably before. I signed up for a karate class and I am pretty sure committing felonies is not part of the deal.
Prob when Krease showed up but I’d prob join again when Silver took over, he def cleaned them up and wasn’t as openly extreme as krease
I guess when terry silver is beaten by that car salesman, how embarrassing would it be if the local car salesman beat your sensei in front of everyone then had him arrested. Before that thing would be gravy, kings of the school, all the smoothies you could drink
When Kreese asks me to kill an innocent animal
The cement mixer. That shit would give me cancer
The moment Johnny left I would also leave As much as I like Silver as a Character I don't like him as a sensei nor do I like Kreese as a sensei
Clarence. RIP Clarence.
When long time students get kicked out in favor of “bullies” and jocks like Kyler
I would leave when Johnny gets kicked out I do not like the methods of Kreese and Silver
Jonny leaving
Probably in the beginning.
I would have left with Johnny
After Sensei Lawrence left
Whenever Kreese's creepy ass came in and subverted control form Johnny. I'd have noped out real fast.
Johnny not being there anymore.
When it became less about being badass and more about a cult of personality AKA what Kreese did.
Work got too busy. Kids started picking up their own after school hobbies. You take a break for a while. You never really intended to. It's been a year now...
Johnny spilling his beer on my gi and it making me get in trouble with the parents
When kreese returns
As much as I like CK under Johnny in S1-2, I’d have probably left earlier (around the lining up to be punched in the face by Aisha thing or the MOH theft), but if I stayed, I’d leave with Johnny when it was going out of control like a cult.
Pretty early on. I'm OK with the tough style training but the second it turned into bullying and malicious damage I'd leave
When sensei Lawrence leaves
Same as what happened with ELI
I had no problem with Johnny's style, I would have if he'd just been tough on me and treated others more calmly. It would come out just as Kreese started to intervene.
The everything
Kylers hair in season 5
Ngl when peyton left
Johnny leaving for sure would do it, but idk I'm probably a pussy, probably woulda left at the cement mixer, or the dogs chasing us.
Kreese takeover obviously, without Miguel and Johnny what's the point? Put up with a whiny bitch like Hawk?
Idc I’d just chill there like the black dude
I would follow Sensei Lawrence in the split.
Probably when they trashed the Miyagi dojo... or when they chased Demitri in the Mall, or if any of that made me leave, I would definitely leave after the school fight (in which I wouldn't have participated)...
When Kreese sent students to trash the Myagi Dojo.
I'm with Demetri here, Johnny's attitude would have been enough on its own, but seeing a new student beaten up for pointing out we don't have to fear the dude because he has a snake on his wall, would be a clear sign to quit now. No need to wait for cement trucks or being thrown in a swimming pool with your hands tied
When Kyler tells me things are getting a little cultlike
Watching my 2 old badass teachers leave to be replaced by a guy with a ponytail.
cement scene
Once I realized they were going to break in to the Larusso house.
The all-out brawl on the first day of the semester, probably. That's when I'd know for sure there are straight-up psychos in Cobra Kai.
I’m not a tough love person. I wouldn’t ever have felt safe being a weak newb there, and as hilarious as I find watching it, I DEFINITELY would’ve bounced the minute Johnny started any kind of chauvinistic/sexist banter.
The snake thing or when johnny left
I love Cobra Kai in the show but if I'm being honest I would probably quit straight away and join Miyagi do because it's a much more peaceful and friendly environment. Then Terry Silver's luxury version of Cobra Kai would probably attract me enough to leave Miyagi do and join them. After a few sessions with Terry I would probably be too afraid to leave lol.
The drama I don’t want to get beat up while walking home from school or to school that’s like living in the hood
When hawk beat that one guy into a pulp
When Kyler joins. Defeats the purpose of the original.
Probably when Johnny left
When kyler started 😅
I’d quit after one meeting. That style of coaching has never worked for me in any context.
I’d leave day one. I probably wouldn’t take Johnny berating me at the beginning.
Would’ve been gone with Johnny. I’m overweight and not really athletic. Johnny would probably try to push me hard to get me into shape. Kreese would just say I’m too weak for Cobra Kai and kick me out of there (probably after letting the other students beat the tar out of me).
Kreese taking over, I would be loyal to Johnny
I wouldn't join Cobra Kai to begin with, but probably when they fired Johnny.
Johnny was an asshole and a fairly bad teacher at first, so I would leave and find another dojo. If not then, then 100% the cement mixer scene. If not then, then Kreese would kick me out when I refused to kill the mouse. If not, I’d leave when Terry became sensei, because I wouldn’t be able to focus haha 😉
TRUTH
Johnny's no mercy teaching. No mercy is nothing but evil doing, and I don't stand with that
seeing that nerds like Miguel and Aisha are allowed in
When Johnny tells Aisha to punch all the other students in the face. Like yeah, this is what I signed up for.
I didn't want to. It got stolen from me. Then Silver stole it again. Oh well, at least Kreese got what was coming to him.
When they insisted that dickheads like kyler and his gang come in and be the top, at that point it’s not even about learning the art, don’t get me wrong, I believe you should be hardcore as fuck when you take on combat, but they got that whole douchebag “bro” skip leg day except football drills Chad wannabe sort of style, I think the best example of the perfect Cobra Kai desciple is hawk, he was wicked skilled, badass, angry and all kyler is is the so called “perfect specimen” with the biggest shit eating grin in the place, he’s only dominant in fights because of his prior athleticism, he doesn’t have the fire in him, the will to fight, he’s so full of himself, he doesn’t even care about the art, or the sport of combat, and that’s just sickening, and the same goes for his posse
Nothing. I would never quit cobra Kai.
The douchey over the top branding
The Kreese takeover.
Kreese’s methods- appaling
I’m super loyal. It would honestly take the cheating scandal for me to leave.
Always finding Sensei Lawrence’s toenails in my protein shakes. And the strangest thing with my catching this mysterious 4 year long reoccurring pink eye from, and I quote “stop laying on the floor of the shower and trying to listen for the sound of the ocean in the drain holes”
Having to come to class. I’m too lazy
I like to think I would stick with Johnny
Kreese's existence, Eli turning into an asshole and the school fight. Like seriously who tf tries to kill someone who kissed their bf? Like being pissed is understandable but trying to kill/injure Sam was too far and I blame Cobra Kai/Kreese.
When Johnny was kicked out. My Sensei was kicked out of our old dojo by the biggest prick ever. She now has her own dojo and I will stand by her side forever.
Probably after the school fight for several reasons.
Change of instructors I would be in Eagle fang. Any dojo that lets Kyler in they must be sorry as hell
Probably a speech from the main character
The karate. Aside from the fact that it's karate, which I get that some people enjoy, the level of karate they're teaching is what I would expect if an 11 year old was teaching. It seems like that would become apparent before the fucky attitudes.
Leave with Johnny definitely, Johnny Lawrence's Cobra Kai was the best... He taught the 3 main rules of Cobra Kai BUT with the exception of not being an asshole and teaching the kids the difference between no mercy... and no honor
Nothing I’m all about that free swag and smoothie bar.
Cement mixer training, when Johnny just unleashed a pack of dogs at the students. That would have been it. Now if I managed to stay through all that, then I would probably leave with Johnny.
the ugly chicks
I never would’ve joined (mixture of not caring for karate and being broke (mainly the broke part))
NOTHING! COBRA KAI NEVER DIES.
When hawk left. If HAWK, the biggest badass of badass people in Cobra Kai, says it’s too much and leaves, that’s how you KNOW it’s gone too far.
When Johnny left
Kreese and silver cause imma be another Miguel
Probably as I realized, how Kreese brainwashes everyone. Depending on my connection with Johnny, either after Miyagi-Do gets trashed or after the school fight, as Kreese takes over.
I don’t know how I got into Cobra Kai. lol did someone kidnap me?
I’d take one look at Lawrence and one look at larusso and walk off 😂😂
Tbh, I would not be joining any karate gangs. I would stay away from all of that drama. I would just move on with my own life. That’s just me though.
Oh, and to add on: I would not be associated with any of these people.
When hawk left, I would have followed him
The junkyard dogs
Johnny leaving or when silver joins
Unpopular opinion: I would stay even with the changes in management as long as I lay low.
Once Johnny officially leaves
If I don't leave after the school fight, which I'd honestly just stay out of or pull the fire alarm like in Mean Girls, I'd definitely quit when Tory starts planning the home invasion. Just nod along, smile politely, slip away and then call the police on the Larusso Home and let them sort everyone out.
I would probably start to get scared and slink out when they bring in the villainous Korean senseis and Tyron Woodley.
As soon as miyagi do started. Free karate by a local celebrity known for their martial arts or pay for some talented drunk who hasn’t grown from his teenage years and puts me in danger multiple times.
The Demetri arm break.
If I saw the stone breaking thing when I left the bathroom I would have just not came back
Probably the Arcade fight.
When kreese takes over
