Cobra Kai
Antagonist martial academy
Cobra Kai is a karate dojo from the *Karate Kid* film franchise, revived as a television series continuing the story decades later.
The name evokes aggressive, no-mercy martial arts philosophy: He runs his gym like Cobra Kai.
The dojo's motto "Strike first, strike hard, no mercy" has become shorthand for ruthless competitive tactics.
