Cobra Kai season 6 parents guide: The final season of the Karate Kid spin-off continues with lessons

Cobra Kai never dies. It just takes a break now and then. That’s just what we see in Cobra Kai season 6, part 1.

Picking up off the back of the season 5 events, this season is about bringing an end to a tale. It all starts with Daniel and Johnny figuring out the name of their joint dojo. Will they combine the names, or will one of them sacrifice their vision for the other?

Meanwhile, John Kreese is out of prison. Of course, he can’t just go back to the Valley. He turns to his past to fight for his future.

Cobra Kai teaches teenagers a lesson

The official age rating for Cobra Kai is TV-14. Should it be higher, or is this series suitable for teenagers? We take a look at the breakdown of the components that make up the age rating.

Sex & nudity: There is some mild nudity in the series, but nothing too graphic. It’s mostly just about teens kissing, and there are some conversations about condoms and sex.

Language: The S-word is mentioned a lot throughout Cobra Kai season 6, part 1. The P-word is also used now and then. It is Johnny Lawrence’s favorite insult, after all. Those are the worst of the words used throughout the series.

Violence & gore: This is where some parents may be a little on the fence about watching the show with their children. Cobra Kai is heavy on the violence. It is a karate series, after all. The second episode features a brawl at a college frat house. The violence involves karate moves, and if you know Karate Kid, then you know what to expect.

There isn’t too much in the way of gore. Now and then, there is some blood on show when people are hit in the nose or mouth. There have been times when blood is drawn from swords and daggers. However, nothing is created in a gratuitous way.

Alcohol & drugs: There are scenes where characters drink alcohol. This is usually when in a bar or while at dinner. The main focus is on karate and the bonds between various members of different dojos. There has been some drug use in past seasons, but this hasn’t come up in the final season so far.

Overall verdict: Who is Cobra Kai season 6, part 1 appropriate for?

If your kids love Karate Kid, they’re going to want to tune into Cobra Kai. It certainly earns its TV-14 rating, and I’d say most parents will find this appropriate for teenagers. The fights aren’t done for fun. They help to teach viewers a lesson about the right times to use karate, the dangers of using it, and much more.
