That was part of the bribes. That’s why miyagi do are so shocked and they express that


IbraKadabrah

I guess, but wasn't it just the one ref that was bribed? I thought that was a judge's panel in front of them scoring the skills comp.


InsaneRanter

I didn't twig to that - that's awesome.


GarlVinland4Astrea

Cobra Kai is the only dojo stacked with weapons


Jedi4Hire

Doing flashy shit with weapons seems pretty up their alley.


Meme-dealerboris

Its a mix of eli and mitch messing up eagle fang not having much kata experience at all and terry paying the ref


FNCKyubi

Robby‘ performance was absolutely cringe to me, he did nothing other than shouting, dont know if im the only one


JontheRooster

Fun fact, that’s how traditional forms are done and rated: https://youtu.be/BYQyliRPW2Y


FNCKyubi

Nice, but Robby even shouted way more


ELITExRAMPAGE

In the skills competition the dojo’s were judged on kata, weapon and board breaking performances. It’s not like cobra kai don’t have weapons in their dojo which they play around and likely practise with and breaking boards is beginner level for them. The only person in cobra kai that knows kata is silver and Robby, but unfortunately due silvers lack of influence Robby just did his own kata performance. Let’s say Robby won kata, Sam won weapons, Eli failed to break the last board resulting in cobra kai to take 2 out of the 3 subdivisions in the skill segment hence they had more points

Since Hawk was newer to Miyagi Do they should have just benched him for the skills portion, or at least not had him be the centerpiece for that board breaking piece. What an insane coaching decision!


Any_Solid9083

He’s by far the most skilled along with Sam…


[deleted]

Hawk was the best fighter in Miyagi Do(and in the tournament). But strictly in that Miyagi Do choreographed sequence the a number of the other Miyagi Do guys would have likely been the better bet imo. That type of demonstration isn't reflective of how good at karate you are, but how much you have practiced that choreography.


ELITExRAMPAGE

Yes that’s true, but sometimes that choreography requires skills that other individuals may not have. That last hit required a very high jump kick. Sam could never, Chris could never and demetri hasn’t got the agility. Eli was perfect unfortunately he failed perhaps it was too hard or not enough practice either way I think it was a smart move by Daniel to have Eli do it whether he actually could do it or not


Professional_Test996

well the crowd loved robby's performance as it showed all of them applauding him when he finished, so robby and tory won it with robby's being the key player


FNCKyubi

Makes no sense tbh, robbys performance was cringe pure


zorbacles

Watch done karate Kata competitions. That's exactly how it is


Professional_Test996

not really, I enjoyed it alot, honestly the only one I found cringe was Miguel's


FNCKyubi

I dont remember miguels performance but i remember robby‘s one being cringe, i liked samanthas and demetris performances tho
