All Valley Dojos

"[Please, everyone take your seats! The competition will begin in a moment!]"

"If you're not comfortable, we don't have to stay long; we just need to watch a few fights and leave." The LaRusso family, obligated to attend as one of the sponsors, entered the building where the tournament would take place.

"There they are!" An Asian-looking man, along with other adults, approached Daniel and said while applauding, "The former champion in person."

"Good to see you, Daniel..."

After finishing greeting the people, Daniel looked at a poster with his image from the '84 championship and fell silent, contemplating the memories that rushed to his mind in a few seconds.

To the right, there were more posters, all of which belonged to the star of recent years, who had won the previous five tournaments in the male division.

"Legends are surpassed..." An elderly man looked at the posters and said, "A pity that the kid won't compete. I heard from my friend in Japan that there was recently a tournament there where young Dash competed, and as far as we know, he emerged as the winner."

Daniel turned his head, and just as he was about to ask how the man knew something, the elderly man had already left. "Dash isn't participating?"

They had thought it would be a good idea for Dash to defeat Cobra Kai in the competition, but now that he's not participating, the chances of Cobra Kai's growth continue to increase, and that's not good at all.

"Let's go, Daniel; the competition is about to start!"

Daniel shook his head and walked towards his wife with the others who were waiting for him.

Unlike other competitions, the audience had been increasing after the incredible fights Sakura Bushido had been showcasing. Right now, the venue for this tournament was one with a very abundant audience.

...

"Welcome to the 50th annual All Valley Karate Championship under 18!" The excited presenter shouted, thrilled to have the opportunity to present this magnificent tournament that was growing every year.

"Do you love the mats? Hahaha! Alright, let's start by welcoming all the local Dojos competing today. From Granada, we have Shotokan Tiger!"

"From the south, we have Goju Kai!"

While the presentation of numerous Dojos was taking place, Daniel entered with his family and said with a smile, "Front-row seats; your father still has influence in this tournament, even if he's not as famous anymore."

Amanda greeted a woman beside her as she recognized her. "Oh, hi Patricia, you've worked hard this year!"

"My son has worked hard to beat the champion he has always wanted to surpass. I must support him as his mother."

At that moment, the presenter smiled and said, "Fighting from Topanga, we have Topanga Karate!"

"That's it, son, kick their butts!"

"From Reseda, returning to the tournament, we have..."

At that moment, the name "Cobra Kai" started to be heard from the entrance of the arena, and everyone began to shout at such a sudden change of emotions.

"Cobra Kai! Cobra Kai! Cobra Kai!"

The presenter shouted, "That's what I call a good entrance, and a tough name for a Dojo. Let's welcome Cobra Kai!"

"Go, Hawk!"

After introducing most of the Dojos, the presenter adjusted his voice and shouted, "This Dojo needs no introduction, led by Sensei Kim from the beautiful Sakura trees, give it up for Sakura Bushido Dojo, along with its defending female competitor in the women's division, Devon Lee, who, along with her other titles, has won eight championships in total only in the Valley!"

When everyone heard Sakura Bushido's terrifying titles only in the Valley, many who knew their excellent performance in combat began to celebrate upon seeing their favorite Dojo.

"Has eight All Valley championships? I thought having two was an incredible thing..." Eli murmured, shifting his gaze towards the students of Sakura Bushido.

Johnny, who was focused on wanting his students to win this tournament, couldn't help but look away and be surprised just by seeing Devon Lee, one of the champions from the previous year.

"We can win this year since Dash isn't participating; we would have an extra year to enter and be able to beat him in the next one." Eli said, very excited as he clenched his fists with emotion.

Miguel, on the side, didn't believe so much effort was needed to beat Dash, but still, he said nothing and remained silent throughout.

"And finally, participating without affiliation, we have Robby Keene!"

The presenter took a few steps forward and said, "Alright, friends, get ready; it's Karate time!"

Devon Lee in front of the women turned around and said, "Slow stretches, five repetitions!"

"Yes!"

Mr. Kim looked at the new guys who were nervous and said, "It's normal to feel nervous; follow the basic warm-ups and get ready for the preliminaries!"

"Yes, Sensei!"
