About this deal

After hearing from Miguel that Kreese's stories aren't adding up, Johnny becomes suspicious. He follows Kreese into a homeless shelter. When the two meet face to face, Kreese explains that he couldn't get reenlisted in the army because they wanted young blood, and he has been living in the homeless shelter for a long time. Remembering the blows he himself has been dealt over the years, Johnny puts his full trust in Kreese. Once enrolled, Johnny was taken under Sensei Kreese's wing, where he rapidly advanced in his learning. One day, after Johnny was awarded his blue belt, Kreese found Johnny crying. Johnny explained the problems he was having at home, but Kreese was unsympathetic to Johnny's plight. He told Johnny harshly that the instant tears left his eyes he becomes a loser and that he did not train losers. Kreese forced Johnny to shout that he was a winner, which Johnny did, and in doing so, shed his timid, meek demeanor he had been up to that point. We know that you think the Cobra Kai dojo stinks. We all do! They're the archetypal bad guys, and in the 80s, it was all about good vs. bad. And of course, Daniel wins at the end, and yadda, yadda, yadda, you know the spiel. BUT. The important lesson here isn't necessarily good vs. bad. It's just how to look cool. Johnny was born into a broken home, with an abusive alcoholic father and working mother. He idolized his father as he was the only male influence in his life. Johnny was devastated when his father left, and desperately tried to hold onto the memory of the man, in spite of his mother's attempts to dissuade Johnny. He carried many of his fathers toxic traits into his adulthood. From minor traits such as his favorite beer to larger issues, like alcoholism and abandonment. Laura remarried to the much older, wealthier, yet still abusive, Sid Weinberg. Sid's toxicity, sexism, anger issues, belittlement of both Johnny and Laura, and his disregard for politeness made an impact on Johnny. The teen carried many of these traits into his adulthood as well. With another abusive figure in his life, Johnny's self-confidence depleted. When he found Cobra Kai Dojo, he saw students who were strong, independent, and brave; he longed to be one of them. According to Johnny, Tommy beat Darryl Vidal in the quarterfinals of the 1983 All Valley Tournament, to which Johnny remarked he had to face Vidal in the semifinals of the 1984 tournament.

Johnny is not technologically knowledgeable, and was unaware of the internet until much later in life. He did not own his first computer until 2018. He still prefers VHS tapes over DVDs, and cassette tape players over CD mediums.Miguel Diaz " I failed my kid... on his very first day in this world... and I've been failing him every day since." Look... I wasn't taught the difference between mercy and honor and I paid the price for it. If I'm extra hard on you, it's only because you have the potential to be better than I ever was. You want that, don't you?" ―Johnny Lawrence to Miguel Diaz [src] He also is dismissive of Eli saying that he might be on the autism spectrum, saying that he doesn't know what that is but he should "get off it pronto".

Johnny grew bitter, resentful, and believed his "glory days" to be the 1980. So much so, that he purposefully surrounded himself with 1980s memorabilia - his car, movies, technological aversions, his apartment decor, and music - in an attempt to ignore the present day and the hardships around him. Most galling of all, however, was Daniel's success. He believed his old rival has succeeded where Johnny failed. His anger and resentment towards Daniel grew, as he was certain that Daniel's arrival in his life was why everything went wrong for him, and why it hadn't improved. It was easier for him to put blame on those around him instead of taking responsibility for his own actions and bad choices. He developed a flippant attitude and general disregard for decent manners and professional expectations of conduct. He developed a sharp wit, brutal sarcasm, and a unique sense of humor. He still hadn't learn to respect the rules, often bantering with shop owners and ignoring laws he didn't like. Johnny also became extremely self-centered and self-oriented. He only intervened in the harassment of Miguel Diaz because the fight was near his beloved car - he had no care for the boy involved. Miguel saw Johnny's martial arts moves and convinced Johnny to train him. By adulthood, Johnny's skills improved even further, to the point that he could take on multiple opponents with relative ease, and with Johnny even managing to overpower Kreese (albeit with difficulty) until he showed Kreese mercy, and was subsequently defeated by Kreese exploiting this opportunity. As an adult, Johnny remained an aggressive fighter, though more tactical. His main strength is offense (as Johnny tells his students that more offense is the optimal defense), but Johnny does show solid defense as well, evidenced by his fights with Daniel, Kyler and the latter's gang, as well as Kreese. Thanks to Johnny's tutelage, Miguel Diaz, Eli Moskowitz, and Devon Lee would become skilled martial artist in their own right. Samantha also learned new offensive moves that helped her fight Piper and Tory Miguel is Johnny's top student at Cobra Kai, and like a son. When Miguel first moves in, Johnny is rude to him. However after beating up Kyler and his gang for harassing Miguel, Miguel requests him to teach karate, which Johnny refuses at first, but soon has a change of heart. Johnny trains him in the newly reopened Cobra Kai dojo. When Miguel is beaten up by Kyler and his gang, Miguel's mom Carmen forbids Johnny from training him. However, Johnny then realizes that Miguel is the one person that still believes in him, he then pleads Carmen to have a second chance with Miguel, which she accepts. With Johnny's training, Miguel becomes a strong and skilled fighter, which allows him to overcome and defeat Kyler and his gang, resulting in several students joining Cobra Kai. Overtime Johnny bonds with Miguel and kind of sees him as a son. In the All Valley tournament, he expresses discomfort when Miguel is fighting dirty against his son Robby. However, when Johnny tells Miguel not to fight dirty, Miguel continues o do so anyway, and defeats Robby to win the title for Cobra Kai. Despite the victory, Johnny feels guilty for turning Miguel into a dirty fighter. The Skeleton costume made its way into Halloween hall of fame well before that classic scene in Karate Kid where Johnny Lawrence and the boys chase Daniel around at the school dance. In fact, Time wrote a piece on the history of skeletal fascination. There’s a timeline from the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) on the skeleton suit (not at all to be confused with a costume), which sheds a little light on how the skeleton even influenced high fashion. Johnny uses an air horn to wake the boys from their apartments, shouting at them in his signature " quiet!" shout. Unleashing Sensei Lawrence, he tells the two that he's had enough of their drama and tells them to put their fists where their mouths are. They said any time and any place yesterday, so this is the time and the place. No tournament rules, no pads, just the two of them. They're going to fight until it's all out of their systems. The boys face one another and begin a rather brutal fight. It spills over to the second floor balcony, and Johnny tries to stop the fight by shouting at them from below. They fight around the railing and Johnny hurries up the steps to stop them before they repeat history. By the time he arrives, the boys have reached an understanding and are apologizing for their past mistakes and roles in hurting one another. Johnny is relieved they put it aside, as he couldn't imagine them still fighting when the baby comes. This stuns both boys, and Johnny realizes he's let it slip. He tells them to pretend to be excited when he and Carmen tell them. Miguel screams " holy shit" with glee, and Robby grins as they congratulate Johnny on the news. The trio heads to the Diaz apartment for Olive Garden, and Carmen comes home to find the peaceful dinner. She tells Robby he's always welcome at their house, pleased that Johnny finally got them to friendly terms.Johnny, Daniel and Chozen meet with the Sekai Taikai organizers to explain about their combined skills and tell the committee that their students should qualify. Gunther, the head of the committee, is impressed with their teachings. While having dinner with the LaRusso's, he meets with Miguel, Robby and Eli to talk about who will represent the boys for the boys demonstration. Miguel and Robby tell Johnny that they volunteer Eli to represent them. Despite Eli losing, Sam wins her match and Miyagi-Do and Eagle Fang qualify for the tournament.

Johnny goes with Chozen to Topanga Karate where they reminisce their actions towards Daniel. When he sees Devon, Chozen stops him and tells him that entering the dojo is too risky. After the class, the two confront one of the senseis, Hyan-Woo, and fight him. Woo proves to be the superior fighter and generally gains the upper-hand over Johnny. Despite the struggle, with Chozen's assistance, the two are able to defeat him in the end. However, when more of them arrive, the two leave the dojo. Later, he and Chozen arrive at Miyagi-Do where he and the Eagle Fangs bow to Daniel,He once demanded Miguel and the rest of his dojo "man up", accepting no excuses, as seen by his "curing" Miguel of his asthma by saying that will not be a handicap in his class and discarding his inhaler. Johnny's rivalry with Daniel heated up, and came to a head at the 2018 All Valley Karate Tournament. Johnny saw how ruthless his students had become, as both Eli and Miguel flagrantly broke the tournament rules to injure Robby in parallels to Johnny's 1984 tournament fight with Daniel. Johnny reprimanded both the boys, who were confused as they showed " no mercy" as Johnny taught them. This was the wakeup Johnny needed to understand where he went wrong with this new generation of fighters. He decided to try and mend fences with Robby and, after the tournament, incorporated some of Daniel's mercy into his teachings. He punished Hawk and Miguel for fighting dirty, as he still believed in honor. However, John Kreese's return shook Johnny, who struggled to show that he was in charge of Cobra Kai and not Kreese. Kreese manipulated Johnny easily by making him think the former sensei had changed, and went along with Johnny's attempts to be the bigger man. He wanted to be better and teach better, though his students were reluctant to follow him, as they slowly believed through Kreese's cunning exploitations that Johnny had grown weak.
