While Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence have found common ground in their fight against John Kreese, their teaching styles could not be more dissimilar. Yesteday, LaRusso challenged Miguel, Eli and a few other students to catch fish in his pond. Today, Johnny Lawrence is challenging Samantha, Demetri and a group of other students to jump from one building to the next like a superhero. In doing so, their only fail safe is a pile of mattresses way down at the ground.
“If you want to beat Cobra Kai in the All-Valley [Karate Tournament], you’ve got to break yourself [free] of this ‘wait-and-see’ crap,” Lawrence tells his students.
“And how exactly are you going to do that?” Samantha asks.
“You’re going to jump,” Lawrence answers.
Is it safe? No. With that said, Johnny Lawrence has never exactly been the most safety bound teacher. Check out this scene from season four of Cobra Kai below to see how it all plays out.
