History
The Cobra Kai Dojo was a karate academy that was established in Reseda, Los Angeles, California. It was created by Terry Silver who then gave it as a gift to his friend John Kreese after the man saved his life during their shared service in the Vietnam War.
In the aftermath of the 1985 All Valley Tournament, the executive committee issued a lifetime ban on Cobra Kai due to the illegal and unethical tactics done by Silver, Kreese, and Barnes. Afterwards, Cobra Kai was banned and not allowed to participate in any tournaments with the school falling into disrepute and largely abandoned. This remained the case for the next 33 years though the building housing the dojo remained standing. By this point, Johnny Lawrence returned as he sought redemption and a purpose in life after being haunted by his defeat at the hands of Daniel Larusso along with the cruel treatment of John Kreese. Using money from his stepfather, he reopened the Cobra Kai Dojo and wanted to earn back his reputation.
Through the dojo, he begins teaching his sole student Miguel Diaz how to defend himself. However, his rivalry with Daniel is reignited when he reopens the dojo. Daniel, who is now a rich auto dealer, influences the landlord to double the rent just to close down the dojo. Johnny has a tough time searching for more students. However, Miguel eventually helps him get more students when he demonstrates Johnny's teachings against a group of school bullies. However, the students that come to the dojo aren't what Johnny expected and he begins insulting them. Because of this, they end up quitting including Demetri and Eli Moskowitz, the latter becoming Hawk and returning to the dojo.
After the fight at LaRusso's house, some of the original members of Cobra Kai quit from the dojo and the remaining students that are still with Kreese following the attack are Tory Nichols, Kyler Park, Edwin, Big Red, Dieter, Paul, and several other unnamed students. Kreese calls his old friend from the army and fellow co-founder of Cobra Kai, Terry Silver, for his aid in helping the Cobra Kai dojo win the 2019 All-Valley Karate Tournament, only for Silver to hang up on him. Kreese tracks Silver down in order to remind him that they always had each other's backs and promised each other that Cobra Kai would never die. Despite Kreese's best efforts, Silver refused to return to the drama of his past, insisting that he was happy with his new life.
