usyka kids in karate with Marty Kove

[@STEJTHEGREATEST]

This is what Kreese would've been like if he'd never been to Vietnam!!!! :(

[@Melgaulden38baby]

Spittin fax

[@dswynne]

More like "What if his beloved Betsy did not die in a car accident?" I think, had she been alive, Kreese wouldn't have ended up being the hateful man that he turned out to be.

[@Sss-lt1it]

Not to mention johnny and friends wouldnt been assholes to daniel

[@robinroy7123]

Or if Captain Turner didn't keep the letter a secret.

[@nithinrocks6252]

And if Betsy never died

[@STEJTHEGREATEST]

I bet Martin Kove did this so people wouldn't think he was really like Kreese. :P

[@geo_ashburn]

That probably is the case. Margret Hamilton used to do all kinds of shows, (Mr Rogers, etc) to show people that she was a nice lady and not anything like her most famous role, the wicked witch in The Wizard of Oz.

It's kind of how Jack Gleeson (aka Joffrey from Game of Thrones) did a lot of charity work and public appearances to show he was completely opposite from the character

[@remc0s]

"Karate is only to be used for protection." Someone mixed up Martin's script with that of Pat Morita 😆

[@sdeb82]

His anti-bullying campaign is still going strong - just saw his interview after he visited a school to speak on the topic - he’s a cool dude!

[@peterkrug2327]

This looks like it was from the mid 80s, shortly after THE KARATE KID. You can tell Kove is doing it as himself and NOT as his character Kreese.

[@BlitzPoint]

yea

[@robertvenditti4983]

Martin Kove is actually a black belt in karate, that's why he was so good for the part

[@anchorpoint3631]

Looks more like early 90's

This martial arts is what has made Martin very disciplined and serious. I love his role as Kreese. He's such a good actor!

That's exactly how Terry Silver felt in the 4th season of Cobra Kai which is why he had him arrested. So imagine Terry Silver trying to have him arrested in that timeline in front of all these kids would've been worse

[@shaneomacdaddy]

This shows here that Martin Kove is the opposite of Kreese in real life.

[@rugbystar1940]

In real life he is just like Mr Miyagi

This is John Kreese after years of therapy and taking meds. (If Joohn Kreese found someone to help him, he would be just like this. )

Either that, or this was the result of Mr. Miyagi beating some sense into him.

That's not bad advice it's about who to direct that towards. Doesn't mean you have to bully the weak. But to someone bullying you, threatening to hurt you or someone else. It's not bad advice.

It's a role and he was convincing as Kreese. I've heard that Anthony Hopkins cannot watch himself as Hannibal Lecter because it creeps him out.

Potentially that's how kreese may turn out in season 6 of Cobra Kai

[@niepboss3374]

I heard he killed his captain. And almost killed his student twice

I can really picture this on the end story for Kreese for future cobra kai seasons... maybe season 5 or 6

[@jeahavvalentin980]

That's exactly what I said earlier that potentially in season 6 of Cobra Kai he would fully be redeemed and start fresh and open up a new dojo and teach younger children martial arts and show them compassion and mercy this time around

What they don't know is after the cut - Sensei Kreese put the kid in a choke hold.

[@jeahavvalentin980]

Season 6 of Cobra Kai kreese needs to be just like this guy and fully redeem himself after escaping from prison at the season 5 finale of Cobra Kai, he should go somewhere fresh and start new and open up another dojo and fully redeem his arc and this time be like this guy in teaching younger little children martial arts and only utilize their martial arts skills for defense only. Have all these young children fall in love with kreese the same way these children love their humble sensei right there, and look up to him.

[@willster17yt]

I don’t care if anybody tries to say otherwise, we all know that this clip definitely takes place in an alternate universe where Kreese declined the ad of joining the army and instead stayed with Betsy, she never died and Kreese never went to Vietnam. The caring and sweet man, John Kreese, opened up his own Karate Dojo to help kids defend themselves and teach them good defense method. One day, he comes across a blonde high school boy who has no friends. This boy, Johnny Lawrence, was taken in by Kreese and trained him to defend himself against a local bad boy, Daniel LaRusso, who was raised and trained by the local necklace theif, Kesuki Miyagi. Sensei Kreese taught Johnny to defend himself and they signed up for the All Valley Karate Tournament! Johnny won the tournament by using a very magical move on Daniel and then Johnny grew up super successful and Kreese lived happily ever after with Betsy!

This would be him if Terry silver and his Instructor or general Didn’t treat him like shit! He was so young back then. I don’t think I was even born back then when this VHS of this commercial or this Ad existed! I met Martin kove, he’s not a bad guy irl; But his famous Persona Character is from the Karate Kid is. He is a fine, calm, and a gentle person when I met him! He told me that “that’s only Hollywood that made me feel like the Darth Vader of the Martial Arts world and I hope you get that Blu-ray of special edition of the Karate Kid that has me and the old Cobra Kai students of mine” Kids has been throwing Apples, Tomatoes and even Bananas at a freaking Vons and Ralphs because of his Evil Character Sensei John Kreese. He’s Divorced and that’s already a sign of how struggling his life is. He doesn’t deserve crap from Hollywood. If he wants to be re-married (I highly doubt at his age, he would be interested) then I can introduce some familiar single friends! He’s also Mr. Lee from Shootfighter 1:Fight to the Death! It’s sad that Sylvester Stallone who did very few limited Comic Con has more attention than him. That goes to show you how unfair life is even in The entertainment industry!
