In the series Cobra Kai, which is a late sequel to Karate Kid, the dojos of the original film is resurrected and the teachers are its protagonists. But what differentiates them? And what is the true meaning of the dojos? Then we tell you.
Cobra Kai
Cobra Kai is the main dojo that gives name to the series. In the first season, it is Jonny Lawrence He who reopens his former dojo as a Karate teacher. But later his teacher John Kreeese He plays to keep school.
Cobra Kai literally means "Cobras meeting" In allusion to snakes, the animal that represents the Dojo for its aggressiveness and its deadly poisonous bite. Dojo's fighting style is the Tang soo do Own from Korea, an import of Kreeese and that Johnny continued to teach. Its motto is "Paste first, paste hard, merciless."
Miyagi-do Karate
When Jonny opened his own dojo in the first season, Daniel Larusso He also appeared, because if his classic enemy became a Karate professor, he was not going to be less. Thus, Daniel Reabre Miyagi-do Karate, the dojo who belonged to the illustrious Mr. Miyagi, his teacher in Karate Kid. If Kai Cobra was based on aggressiveness, Miyagi-do Karate is the opposite, looking for inner peace to achieve karate techniques. His fighting style is the Gōjū-oryū, a karate form founded in Okinawa by Master Chōjun Miyagui, who gives precisely his name to the famous Karate Kid teacher.
Eagle Fang
Eagle Fang is the dojo that opens Johnny After being destroyed by his teacher Kreeese. This follows the usual teachings, but promising to rectify the mistakes of the past. First he started with classes in the park until he could open a dojo as such. The literal meaning of Eagle Fang is "Eagle fang", because the eagles are the most feared animals for snakes. Do you get the irony? Johnny wants to deal with his teacher charges with an eagle. It is a declaration of intentions.
These three dojos face at the end of season 4, and both Daniel and Johnny end up losing, so we are likely to attend the creation of a joint club between these two classic enemies that will make peace to defeat Kreese.
