Trivia: The scene of the Cobras throwing down their team merchandise on the defeated Terry Silver was based on a deleted (perhaps unfilmed) scene from Karate Kid 2 where the Cobras throw their belts down on a defeated Kreese.

Other mistake: Hawk gets a mohawk, but his hair was too short to style it like that.
Suggested correction: The mohawk was not a prop, but the actual hair of the actor they shaved off and mended together for him.
That is true, it was the actor's actual hair, but in the realm of the show, Eli's hair was not long enough to style that large of a mohawk out of it.
Johnny Lawrence: Robby. What's going on?
Robby Keene: I followed you.
Johnny Lawrence: What happened here?
Robby Keene: We're moving to a new location. Multiple locations, I think.
Johnny Lawrence: You kicked ass today. It could've gone either way.
Robby Keene: Yeah. Thanks.
Johnny Lawrence: Hey, it's just a match. Don't let it eat you up, trust me.
Robby Keene: It's not that, um, it's this kid, Kenny. I thought I could take him under my wing, be the mentor I wish I'd had when I was younger. When I saw him today it, uh, it was like looking in a mirror. And I realised I screwed everything up. And I had all this hate inside of me for you and for Miguel. And I thought I could use Cobra Kai to control that. But it just made things worse and now it's never going to get better.
Johnny Lawrence: That's not true. You had a good thing going with LaRusso. I got in the way of that. Don't blame yourself, you blame me.
Robby Keene: I'm sick of blaming you, Dad.
Question: I've never seen the show so an explanation would really help. Why would Johnny open up his own Cobra Kai dojo? Since there was probably a lot of negative publicity due to how Kreese taught his students and how he attacked Johnny, a lot of people probably wouldn't go to a dojo synonymous with brutality but maybe to a dojo that taught karate the way it should be learned.
Answer: Just like in the original film, some guys want that brutality. Johnny in part opens the dojo because of his past rivalry with Daniel and to train a kid that's being bullied. But also, other kids that are being bullied want to join in order to learn to fight back. Johnny is also teaching the Cobra Kai creed (Strike First. Strike hard. No Mercy.") so that's why he opens his dojo with that name and the old Cobra Kai dojo's past reputation is exactly what he wants to elicit.
