to college. My whole life was wanting to be at a place like Google or wanting to go into college, but my junior year is when "Cobra Kai" started. And then by the time my senior year of college started to come around, I was like, oh shoot. It was kind of a fork in the road.
Mongo's which have epic wonderful crazy battles with cobras now what's funny and interesting about the mongus and the Cobra is that they've actually evolved the exact same way of avoiding theCobra 's potent neurotoxins so both the mongre and the cobra have altered uh

Yo explico lo que yo he vivido, no el de otra persona. Cobraron mínimo 10 veces para enviarme con avión. Al final, me llevaron con unos camiones militar hasta la tierra de nadie.
Huge fan from Brazil here. In "Cobra Kai," Miguel went through quite a journey, learning different fighting styles and life lessons. If Miguel could visit Brazil and learn a unique fighting style, which one would you think he'd be drawn to, capoeira or Brazilian jiu jitsu?"
You weren't volunteers. Changing why you're doing something changes your performance. This cobra affect, an unintended consequence, looks like this.
You weren't volunteers. Changing why you're doing something changes your performance. The cobra effect-- this is from the Atlanta cheating scandal, where hundreds of teachers were implicated in a cheating scheme, where they were erasing
Nos abandonaron. 4 o 5 horas más tarde aparecen otras furgonetas, te piden dinero, vuelves a pagar. Si cobran, entonces te vuelven a llevar hacia arriba otra vez. Lo que quiere decir es que desde Bruselas no se soluciona este problema.
And then also just the snowball rolling. Getting to do "Cobra Kai" and then getting to do "Blue Beetle," I'm like, shoot, it's happening now. I'm in the position to tell everyone's stories, hopefully, and I don't want to squander that.
and I've gotten to do a bit of capoeira and Brazilian jiu jitsu in this newest season, but jiu jitsu is more fun. When we were doing "Cobra Kai," he's the dude with the mohawk, and everyone came up to us and just thought we were
from working with Pat and John Avildsen and everyone, Randi Heller, who now has come on to play-- she plays my mom. She comes on to "Cobra Kai." It's just so nice to share with the next generation cast, if you will, where the magic started, how it happened. And they all lean in when I tell the story about Pat and I or do Billy and I talk about rehearsing the big final fight
And so that's been quite rewarding. So when "Cobra Kai" came about-- over the years, doing comic cons and stuff, we got more and more friendly, just like I did with Zabka over the past 15 years.
You weren't volunteers. Changing why you're doing something changes your performance. And the cobra population of Delhi was higher at the end of this than it was at the beginning.
You weren't volunteers. Changing why you're doing something changes your performance. That's the cobra effect in business.
You can see the shaping there, again, looking for aerodynamics. They called it the cobra , is what the riders called it. One thing that's interesting about track cycling now, and this is something caused by this crazy arms race on equipment, is the UCI, which
You weren't volunteers. Changing why you're doing something changes your performance. They were breeding cobras in order to bring them in for the bouncy.
I'm 23 now, but I started acting when I was 10. And I didn't start "Cobra Kai" until 7 years after that, and "Blue Beetle," my first movie, came in 11 years into the game. So it has always been a resilient journey along the way for sure, but I definitely attribute my family, my friends,
This is a hobby. It slowly turned into eventually "Cobra Kai," which I would say is maybe the biggest life change, because that came at a time for me where my whole life was going to college. My whole life was wanting to be at a place like Google or wanting to go into college, but my junior year is when
Hollywood has been making movies about Latinos for Mexicans, for these cultures without really looping them into the mix. So already going into something like a "Cobra Kai," like a "Blue Beetle," there's already so many of these preconceived notions as to who you are, what you're representing, what the demographic is.
Capoeira is really exciting. In this last season of "Cobra Kai," because we're heading into the world tournament, we've grabbed moves from all different types of martial arts, and I've gotten to do a bit of capoeira and Brazilian jiu jitsu in this newest season, but jiu jitsu is more fun.
Can't go anywhere. We're not shooting. We had finished shooting season three of "Cobra Kai," and it was not going to continue on YouTube at that time. So we were homeless before the move over to Netflix, and it seemed the time to sit down and write a proposal.
It was I had the time to do it. It was in between the success of "Cobra Kai" and having the uniqueness-- I probably should have mentioned this first. This is why it really made sense.
But then there was so much more to say because there was so much more being written. And then I learned that "Cobra Kai 5" was going to come out before the book. So I said, oh, we've got to change that.
They come back and they knock it out of the park. And the writing team on "Cobra Kai," a lot of credit is deserved there because they don't just say come back and do a one joke off. They give them back stories and what has happened in these 30 years to all these people.
And so that's been quite rewarding. kick Daniel LaRusso to now father "Cobra Kai" Daniel LaRusso?
And so that's been quite rewarding. And we touch upon it in the "Cobra Kai" series as well.
And so that's been quite rewarding. to be in a show called "Cobra Kai" that he was, how can I not be in the first minute of every show?
You weren't volunteers. Changing why you're doing something changes your performance. Every time you brought in a dead cobra , you would get some money.
You weren't volunteers. Changing why you're doing something changes your performance. I should see distraction cancellation and cobra effects.
You weren't volunteers. Changing why you're doing something changes your performance. The city was overrun with cobras -- snakes.
Right. So, you're nice and tight. That is neutral spine. If your butt is squeezed and your abs are on, that is straight up and down balance and supported. You're braced. Now, you can't walk around flexing your cobrahood all the time 'cause it's weird, right? "Good morning. How are you? Stable, braced." What we need to do, though, is think you gotta have 20% of that best effort on all the time. So, if you just give me squeeze your butt
And earlier this year, he also wrapped the last season of Netflix's smash hit, which is "Cobra Kai," which, by the way, yes, "Cobra Kai" is an extension of the classic film of "Karate Kid." But that franchise actually originally started as a YouTube Premium or YouTube original series, which is when I first got to interact and meet with Xolo.
Yeah, and what's interesting, and I think you probably won't remember this because it's been so long, but I do. Because I remember when we were first promoting "Cobra Kai" as part of YouTube Premium, we had to coordinate with your parents to do the press interviews after school. So trying to get you to connect with-- I know, I wasn't homeschooled.
But this was extra difficult because I was shooting scenes-- I'll give you an example. I'm shooting scenes in season five of "Cobra Kai" with the great Yuji Okumoto, who plays Chozen. And if you've seen season five, he's one of the MVPs of the season.
Yeah, I love that. Some of the richest stuff in doing the "Cobra Kai" series is sharing with the young cast the experiences from working with Pat and John Avildsen and everyone, Randi Heller, who now has come on to play-- she plays my mom.
You weren't volunteers. Changing why you're doing something changes your performance. They put a bounty on the head of every cobra .

You weren't volunteers. Changing why you're doing something changes your performance. And the British government wanted to reduce the cobras .
You weren't volunteers. Changing why you're doing something changes your performance. Now, cobras were coming in by the bucket load.
So it was about finding the time and everything else. And obviously, with the explosion of "Cobra Kai" in 2018, 2019, and now in our fifth season, like you mentioned, when we went into the pandemic-- so I'm sure there's a lot of pandemic memoirs coming out about now--
So you'll be able to keep adding to it. OK. Let's shift to "Cobra Kai" because it's a massive hit on Netflix. But it seems like it took a while for you to embrace bringing back that Daniel LaRusso character.
And so that's been quite rewarding. and son world. And the "Cobra Kai" world was the action scenes where I got yelled at and beat up.
tímida. Pero sobre todo correcta, ¿no? Y hubo un momento que tuve que parar los pies a John Cobra , porque venía a cantar, era un programa que yo presentaba, en el que se elegía al representante de España en Eurovisión.
We're going to make it work. Yeah. It was a real cobra , you guys. I feel like for the two of you, I mean, you guys are probably having scripts sent to you all the time.

by the pharmacy that my insurance company said I had no insurance and hadn't for six months. I'm on Cobra at the moment, and what's interesting is, I've made four Cobra payments and all four of them have resulted in the insurance company saying they never got payment and cutting me from the rolls, but also cashing the checks. And it wasn't this time a particularly big deal, because I'd been through it three times before.
Yeah, and you know, there was-- you would read the scripts and think, there is no way we can do this. So you know-- and when we'd arrive on set and there was live cobras or there was a zip line that's going to catch on fire and the whole half of the building is going to fall over, or, you know, I'm going to be tied to the top of a BMW.
Haciendo una cena de cuatro en una casa, de cinco, de seis y, tengo una amiga que me hace la cena. Yo llegaba, me acuerdo que cobraba 2000 pesetas por persona y la compra, 2000 pesetas que son 12 euros, por persona más la compra. Entonces eran cosas de ocho personas, no más.
It was kind of a fork in the road. And I decided to go to community college, continue doing "Cobra Kai," and we just finished that a few months ago. It's been seven years.
