taikai

The senseis delivered the students the information about a man from the Sekai Taikai to watch them perform their skills for the global competition.

"I can't believe this." Amara said to Kali, "Global? World wide? International? Are we even ready for this big of a challenge?"

"Moon always says the time will come when you're ready." Kali told her, "Maybe this is our chance."

Amara nodded as she saw Miguel, Robby, and Hawk walk around back. "Yeah, maybe."

"Dude, did you catch the video I sent you of last year's Sekai Taikai?" Hawk asked Miguel as the two girls walked over.

"Man, who knew people could kick that high?"

"Or that hard."

"Dude, seriously."

The boys chuckled as Sam walked over with them, "I guess that's why it's the biggest competition in the world."

"I heard that last year's winners did a big car commercial in Taiwan." Hawk told the group.

"Dude, imagine being in a commercial." Mitch said, "What would you do with all that money?"

Amara heard the doors of the hut squeaking as she turned over to see their senseis walking out as Chris spoke, "Buy a yacht with a hot tub. Fill it up with Smarties and hotties." He then began to do a little dance as the other students laughed.

"All right, all right." Daniel said, walking over to the students, "Let's not get ahead of ourselves, all right? Remember, Cobra Kai is gonna do everything they can to get a spot. And if they win this time, kids all over the world are gonna have to deal with the same kind of crap you guys have gone through."

"But if we win," Sam began, "we can show the world how to stop them."

"So then let's kick Cobra Kai's ass." Amara spoke up as she glanced over at Robby, Miguel, and Hawk to see them nodding in agreement.

Chozen placed his hand on Amara's shoulders. "Not so fast. First you must prove you can compete with best."

"But in order to do that, you have to be better than the best." Johnny told the students. "Which is why we're gonna kick your asses into high gear."

"Sensei Lawrence, Sensei Toguchi and I are gonna get you ready for the presentation tomorrow." Daniel spoke, "Ok? So, come on. Let's get warmed up."

"Go!" Johnny yelled, "Move those asses!"

The students spreaded out and started to warm up with their senseis. Amara waited over with Robby as Hawk and Kali walked over with Chozen to warm up.

Chozen walked over towards Amara, "Do what you must." He told you, "Concentrate mind. Then body."

Amara nodded, "Yes, Sensei."

Chozen walked over towards his group of students as Amara stayed over with Robby and Anthony as the three began their breathing exercises.

"Sensei Toguchi must really like you." Anthony said, "I think he's helped you more than any of us."

"There's no favorites." Robby told him, "Sensei just knows the kind of shit Amara has dealt with from Cobra Kai and believes in her."

Anthony nodded as he turned over towards Amara, "You do have great potential. Maybe we can actually win this thing with you on our team."

Amara chuckled as she looked over to see Johnny talking to Miguel about Sam. Robby glanced over at Amara, "I got an idea. Come on."

The twins walked over to the two talking, "How sweet. Is this what fatherly advice sounds like?" Robby asked, joking around but in a serious tone.

Johnny sighed, "Robby, come on, we're just talking."
