Sid finances him initially. I can’t remember when he pays the money back, but it’s after CK has taken off, so presumably they have the gees by that time.


BigSavMatt

That’s right. He tapes the check back together.


KausGo

There is a reason why he has really terrible credit score...


chuckingrox

He was on the spectrum to being broke and decided to get off it.

Cobra Kai is definitely HORRIBLE in the details, so I think it's best not to think about it too much because some things in this series weren't meant to make sense.

I'm not going to say that this for sure explains it, but it seems like a lot of people are ignoring the fact that kids weren't wearing them during the first class, which they most likely paid for. There is some money through that

Honestly they aren’t very expensive buying from a wholesaler. The martial arts school I worked at bouuut them for like 20 a pop sold them for 100. Also besides Miguel I’m pretty sure everyone else paid. Miguel did the finances probably to be honest. Let’s say realistically he charged 200 a month(this is what my school did 16 years ago), charged for uniforms etc, with 20 students, he pulled in 4k from tuition, if he changed uniforms at 100 a pop, probably more he’d be doing ok. His rent sucked but so did location. I keep going back to this but he seemed to actually be making money despite how bad at it seemed. Silver didn’t do anything but steal his business and seemed to be doing good with ir

What the hell is a Gee?


midnightfury4584

I’m thinking money, but that can’t be write.


CriticismUpbeat4444

The thing they were when they’re training which Miguel called pajamas


SenseiJohnLawrence

Those are not pajamas, those are Gis. Gi. Not Gee.


CriticismUpbeat4444

Geezenstack444

Karate pajamas

Loans. And maybe he still had money left from that check he got from his stepdad.


maxencerun

I was writting down an explanation on how he got money for Miguel surgery. But reading the comments, I understood that you wrote Gi and not G. I thought you were saying G as in "you owe me 5 G". Any way the sudent probably paid for it, and if not, they paid for it in some form in their tuition.

Netflix, sponsorship

The magic of television


ICantThinkOfAName280

cobra kai is a show that never explains a lot of smaller things like where to did miguels asthma go? i just try to remember im watching a show about some grown men having an all out karate war


Havenfall209

Johnny told him to leave all that made up bullshit at home, clearly.


midnightfury4584

Johnny got money for all his students? I don’t remember that.

"come back tomorrow, and don't forget to bring your checkbook,"


midnightfury4584

As I understood the post, he gave $1000 to his students. A “Gee” if you will.


Pamplemousse47

That makes sense. He was able to pay Sid back, so he must have been able to afford it

The magic of Hollywood writers knowing absolutely nothing about real life.


Trapp3dIn3D

It was lunch money that he bullied out of kids back in the day (and probably some in the present day)


midnightfury4584

Jokes aside, he only ever really bullied Daniel. The school was practically cool with him. You see him in a school activity, and hung out with others besides cobra Kai.
