Cobra Kai Kata Identified! | ART OF ONE DOJO

hi everyone today is just a quick video update on one of our previous episodes from last season what kind of karate is in Cobra Kai actually we did three episodes on this topic yes I am NOT nerdy enough leave me alone but in the first two episodes we broke down an analysis and tried to determine the arts that we felt were represented in Miyagi del karate and Cobra Kai dojo now we had an outpouring of opinions and suggestions but in the end we determined to our best guess based on the evidence presented to us that Miyagi doe was go Giroux karate and that Cobra Kai was tongue still or at least some version of these arts and just for fun the third episode exam with some of the other characters that were in the show as well now we have links for you in the description below if you have not seen those episodes I recommend checking them out now the call Miyagi dou Goju rule was a little bit easier primarily because the history that mr. Miyagi gives Daniel matches the origin of the art the screenwriter Robert mark Kaman based a lot of the movie on his own personal life and he was a student of the art and also the go jukai patched is seen on the keys in the second movie unknown chosen uniforms and in season 2 of Cobra Kai they actually directly show us the founder of Kochi route chosen Miyagi who mr. Miyagi was named after now Cobra Kai was a little tougher and had less to go on in Karate Kid 3 Terry Silver tells Daniel Miyagi that their teacher is Korean and their techniques involve a lot of high kicks common with the Korean arts and if you watched videos with tongs to go moves a lot of them are incredibly similar to what you see in a tournament in the first film so we deduced that Cobra Kai was Tong snow or at least had Tong snow in his mix now I also had some questions to try to figure out some other clues one of them was identifying the pictures on the wall by the front door another was identifying the photo up above the mirror typically where photos of masters or Grand Master's are displayed and finally the kata that Terry Silver was performing when Daniel entered the school being the awesome audience that you are the first question regarding the photos by the front door was answered within an hour of the videos release I had several of you reached out to me to identify the man in the photos as Taekwondo master Jun Chong this would make a lot of sense as the filming location of the dojo took place in a real-life Taekwondo school specifically during Chong school so most likely all the decor on the walls was left in place to save either on set dressing or to descript the schools disrupt the school as well as possible or honestly you make sure both now I've also had people suggest that the photo up above the mirror might be Joon Chong as well but I've still yet to find a photo that actually matches it for sure if anyone from Jun chunk school is watching I would love to hear your input now the reason for this update I was unable to find Terry Silver's kata anywhere I search videos on Korean arts and I found some that were similar but nothing exactly like he performs in the film the closest I could find was Coryell which has a lot of the same steps but silk wasn't quite the same as what he was doing I also received many messages that it was likely just him doing freestyle movements and to warm up and not really a kata or maybe was a fictional kata honestly I had submitted and I went with this because I wasn't able to find any concrete results then recently one of you guys pull through and it seems that you cracked the case I would like to thank one of our viewers adonis Ruiz for his detective work he sent me a tournament clip of a Taekwondo demo team performing choreo and it looked almost exactly like what we saw in the film well why did it look different than all the other clips I'd seen well upon closer inspection the demo team is a Taekwondo school specifically Joong Chong's Taekwondo the same owner of the Cobra Kai dojo location not only that it was pointed out to me that actor Thomas Ian Griffith who plays serie silver was actually a student of Jun Chong so it seems that Jun Chong teaches his own version of choreo that differs from what is commonly found and this answers the question and shows that teri silver is doing a kata after all now does this suggest that Cobra Kai has Tai Kwan doing it in its mix or is it really just circumstantial with the real-life location either way I extend the big thank you to mr.
