Cobra Kai is the follow up to the Film Trilogy ' The Karate Kid'. Set 34 years in future the show follows Johnny Lawrence and Daniel LaRusso. Johnny, struggling to make a living as a handyman is fired from his job, after an argument with a customer, after incorrectly installing a wall-mounted TV. Daniel, on the other hand, is a successful car salesman and has a booming car dealership, it is clear from the start the resentment that Johnny has for Daniel.
Johnny is arrested for beating up a group of bullies outside a convenience store, despite only beating them to save his teenage neighbour Miguel. Johnny is bailed out by his step-father who hands him a cheque and disowns him.
In a state of depression Johnny drinks and drives and has a series of flashbacks to his childhood as seen in The Karate Kid I + II, while in this state he is hit by another vehicle and wrecks his car. His vehicle is towed to Larusso's car dealership, auto repair garage, and reluctantly Johnny goes to try and recover his vehicle before encountering Daniel. Daniel spots Johnny while he is in the dealership and offers to pay for the repairs, reluctantly Johnny accepts.
Shortly after and for a multitude of reasons Johnny decides to re-open the Cobra Kai Dojo as the new Sensei, and train Miguel the way of Cobra Kai. The Reopening of Cobra Kai refuels the old rivalry between him and Daniel.
This is further progressed as Johnny tries to enter Cobra Kai into the All-Valley Under-18 Karate Championships Tournament.
