'' Running parallel to the conflict are the story arcs of Johnny and Daniel 's students. Johnny opens a new Cobra Kai dojo that attracts a group of bullied nerds and social outcasts who find a camaraderie and self - confidence under his tutelage, but who take his aggressive philosophy too far, in particular his star pupil, Miguel Diaz. In contrast, Johnny 's estranged son, Robby Keene, comes under the wing of Daniel, who hires the boy at his car dealership, initially not knowing that Johnny is his father. Daniel eventually proves a positive influence to the boy, teaching him Mr. Miyagi 's philosophy of balance. Meanwhile, Daniel 's daughter, Samantha, is caught in the middle of these conflicts as she learns who her true friends are and a better path to follow.
