- Nudity used to humiliate a boy in the locker room and being exposed to girls.
- An adult male character tries to use the internet for tips regarding how he can he can talk to another character about a sensitive subject and numerous clearly pornographic results appear on-screen. Only a few seconds in one episode and probably intended to be humorous.
- There is also scenes of very erotic dancing between teens as well as very sexual kissing.
- One use of Pornstars, and Porno.
- Moderate
- Very mild only a few kisses

- Season 5 has some fan service with Sam, Yasmin, and Moon.
- A lot of male derogatory sexual humor, including a lot of crotch kicks and genital jokes.
- Sexual innuendo, references and jokes. Very mild.
Violence & Gore
-
- Bloodless (almost always) karate combat. Street fights, refereed athletic practices and sports violence is to be expected, but nothing graphic. There are degrading, violent verbal outbursts from adults as well.
- A mans earlobe is ripped off showing some blood, people have there heads bashed with metal objects along with their faces smashed on tables, glass etc. usually showing bloodied faces.

- A character brutally beats up his bully, blood is shown on his knuckles and on his face but not too bloody.
- In season 4, a handful of teenage boys are lined up as a girl goes down the line, kicking each of them in the groin once. It is meant to be comedic but can be hard to digest. It is shown as a training exercise. It is implied that none of them were wearing cups. A boy is also tied up and is accidentally hit in the groin, also comedic.
- A man gets beat up brutally by a villain in Season 4. The man is later shown hospitalized, bruised with stiches and mildly bloody. The scene is intense but not too violent.

- In Season 5, a girl is forced to punch a stone figure as a form of punishment. Her hand gets bloody
- In season 5 a man gets part of his body cut with a sword. Bloody and the most violent scene throughout the entire series, along with when the guys finger is cut off.
- Not only does this edgy series have vintage stars, it has questionably vintage-level violence -- lots of fighting in the ring, as you'd expect from a show about a martial arts dojo, but also street fighting and bullying: A character is beaten and then shoved violently into a bush; a grown man then uses karate to violently subdue the teen perpetrators. There's no blood, gore, or visible injuries, but characters often hit first and talk later.
- In Season 1-4 are mild-moderate martial arts violence, but in Season 5 is much more strong violence than the previous season.
Profanity
-
- One use of fuck in each season, besides the first which also contains someone saying it in Spanish in the opening episode, and the fourth where it is used twice.

- Miguel is called "Menudo", "Illegal", and an immigrant. Can be hurtful for sensitive viewers.
- Language is very frequent, and used both to add emphasis and to insult others. Milder language such as "piss", "ass/dumbass", "crap", "damn", "bastard" and "hell". Moderate-severe (stronger) language including "shit/bullshit", "fuck", "asshole", "bitch/son of a bitch", "goddamn", "dick" and "pussy".
- Lot of harsh language throughout, mostly moderate words.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- Teen partying, alcohol consumption and underage drinking. Talks of "smoking a joint" and doing drugs.
- There is consistent use of alcohol by a main character who drinks liquor while driving and is obviously wasted. Multiple scenes of waking up on the floor with alcoholic bottles laying all around him.

- A character makes a vegan drink for her friend, her friend asks, "Will this get me high?"
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- Sensei Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) lashes out at his students in multiple scenes and the loud verbal abuse can be considered mildly intense.
- Even though the series is comical, it's very tense, disturbing and creepy to watch. Season 5 tends to be quite scary for younger viewers, especially the violence and language content in it.
- This series follows a "The Karate Kid" franchise, but should be prepared for it because there's a lot more mature and darker than the movies.
- Rated TV-14 for strong martial arts violence and language throughout, some suggestive content, alcohol/smoking and some drugs use, and thematic material.
- More for older teens/adults because of the violence and bad language.

Violence & Gore
- In Season 2, an all-out brawl ensues between Cobra Kai and Miyagi-do students at school. Teenagers are relentlessly punched, kicked, shoved, slammed against walls and lockers, and even thrown down stairwells. One Cobra Kai student arms her fist with a spike bracelet and cuts a main character's arm. A teacher attempting to split up a fight gets assaulted, too. At the end of the sequence, a main character is knocked from the second floor balcony and slams onto a railing on the floor below, breaking his back and hospitalizing him. This is perhaps the most over-the-top, intense sequence in the entire show thus far however it's fast paced and relatively bloodless.
- In season 3, Robby gets beat up in jail.
- During a flashback in Season 3. A man is shot in the head in front of a young John Kreese. Intense and shocking but happens off screen
- Season 1&2 are bloodless. Season 3 Contains more action Including Long action sequences, Arm breaking And more disturbing scenes. In one scene Hawk almost beats a person to death in the dojo. The beating happens off-screen but we see hawk throwing multiple punches, after he's done we see his knuckles fild with blood.
- The season 3 finale has two long battles. One between the kids of Miyagi-Do and Cobra Kai and the other between Daniel and Johnny vs Kreese. Both of these battles are as intense as the school battle in Season 2.
- In season 3 kreese feeds a hamster to a snake is emotional.
- Kreese puts a man's finger into a cigar cutter and pushes the blades in. However the camera cuts before anything is seen and its left unclear what happened.
- There is one rather graphic scene where Hawk beats his old bully. Hawk kicks him around a bit and we see blood coming from his mouth. He asks Hawk to stop, but Hawk tackles him, and the camera cuts to Hawk repeatedly punching him, as the students look away in horror. We don't see the bully's beaten up face, but Hawk finishes off the barrage of punches by spitting on the bully. We also see blood on Hawk's knuckles, and we hear the bully groaning quietly after. Though, it's implied the bully survives.
- A man falls to his death into a pit of snakes
- The last episode of season 5 is very violent and bloody, especially the silver valley fight. Lots of gory and blood details, very disturbing and maybe scary.
- The season 3 finale has a big fight. People are punched, kicked and shoved. Tory and Sam fight with bows, a man is kicked into a lamp, Hawk kicks a man through a glass table and there is some blood
- Terry Silver beats up another character, and a bruised and mildly bloody aftermath of the character is shown in a hospital. Silver forces the man to do him a favor and shows how violent Silver can be.
- In season 4, a character gets brutally beaten (ending with his head being stomped on). No blood or gore, but he does survive.
- S4 E9: Miguel is trying to spin kick Eli/Hawk in slow-motion in the All-Valley tournament. However, we suddenly hear a cracking sound, the camera cuts out of slow motion, and we see Miguel groaning and writhing in pain on the mat, calling out for his sensei. A very sad and intense sequence, however, it's revealed to just be a torn muscle, and Miguel recovers quickly.
- In season four Hawk gets ambushed and physically attacked in a tattoo studio by a group of cobras, held down against his will and gets his Mohawk sheared off (off screen) not too violent but quite distressing and tense

- In Season 5, Tory is abused by her karate senseis. As a form of punishment, sheis forced to break a block of stone by punching it with her bare fist. She drops to the floor on her knees in pain multiple times. She severely injures her hand and blood and swelling is seen.
- In the Season 5 finale, a man is stabbed to death, however, we later learn that it is fake
Profanity
- In season 3, Nathaniel says "and they beat the fucking shit out of me!"
- 3 F words are said in Spanish at the beginning of Season 5 Episode 1. This is most likely to give the series a TV-MA rating.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
- In the season one finale, Johnny is peeing on his car because he is implied to be drunk. A teen sees him. No nudity is seen.
- In season 4 when Kreese goes to Terry Silver's house, they talk about what happened in The Karate Kid 3, and Terry Silver admits that he was high on cocaine.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- As the series goes on, each season gets darker and more frightening. With little to no frightening scenes in season 1. Increased amount of frightening scenes in season 2. And season 3 being much darker, especially Kreese's flashbacks to when he was in the Vietnam War
- A man dies in his sleep. Intense and very emotional.
- When Miguel breaks his back it is quite emotional.
- Kreese's backstory can be quite frightening and upsetting. It involves him being bullied at work, joining the military in Vietnam, being the indirect cause of a fellow soldier's death and being forced to fight his commanding officer above a pit of snakes after learning that his girlfriend died in a car accident back home.
- Kreese's behavior is very disturbing throughout season 3. He forces students to watch a cobra eat a hamster, doesn't stop Hawk from brutally beating a new student close to death, deliberately sends Cobra Kai students to the LaRusso residence to start a brawl, convinces Robby to turn against his father and join him, and attempts to kill Johnny and Daniel in the final confrontation of season 3. He is perhaps the most psychopathic and manipulative he's every been in the Karate Kid franchise.
- In season 3, Hawk breaks Demitri's arm while his Miyagi-Do friends watch helplessly and the other Cobra Kai students cheer and laugh. Being that Hawk (known as "Eli" to Demitri) was once Demitri's best friend makes the scene especially gut-wrenching, on top of Demitri cursing and howling in pain and a horrified Sam being driven to tears. Hawk also appears to regret his actions based on his expressions afterward and eventually apologizes. The scene is shocking and difficult to watch for TV-14.
- In season 3, Hawk beats another Cobra Kai student to unconsciousness as the dojo watches and Kreese congratulates him. Although the other student was a horrible person, constantly bullying Hawk, the tone of the scene is extremely intense and can be hard to watch for younger viewers. However, the boy who was beaten up is somewhat prepared before it happens.
- In one scene, a man falls to his death into a pit of snakes. Quite intense
- When Ponytail dies, it is quite emotional and may be one of the saddest parts in the series
- In Season 4 we see a young Johnny getting physically abused by his stepfather. Very sensitive to watch
- Terry Silver's appearance in series 4 can be scary to some people. Before he jointed Cobra Kai for the second time as a sensei, he was very peaceful and happy. Then he becomes reckless and scary to some people. He almost killed Johnny in one of the episodes but he was stopped by Kreese. At the moment he is one of the scariest characters throughout the series.
- At the end of S4E9, Miguel tries to attempt a spin kick, but as he does it, we hear a crack, and Miguel abrubtly lays on the floor and moans, then, medics come and Miguel cries in horror, "SENSEI!!!" It's quite emotional, but it's revealed he just tore a muscle.
- The ending of Season 4 is quite emotional and sensitive. It includes a father and son finally making up after they haven't gotten along for years, and a boy leaving his family to go to Mexico
- The ending of season 4 is a little bit disturbing and heartbreaking
- Silver and chozen fight where chozen eventually loses and is thought dead but is revealed to be alive
- Kreese's "death" might be emotional, but at the end it's revealed he faked his death.
- Throughout season 4, a new character named Kenny is viciously bullied. This may be intense for people who have been bullied before.
