In contrast to Chozen losing to a weaker Pre-timeskip Daniel. Fought Terry Silver and was capable of narrowly besting him while both were intoxicated.https://twitter.com/McSchlossberg/status/1568997856887054336.

Intelligence: Above Average (Even as a teen, he managed to train and became Sato's number-one student in his dojo. He would take on skilled champions such as Daniel Larusso and manage to keep up and counter his infamous crane kick, and despite losing, he still managed to counter and give Daniel a hard time. He showed proficiency in fighting multiple military police officers in training in seconds, doing so with ease. Throughout his adult years, he learned Miyagi Do techniques and skills and became more skilled and managed to counter Daniel's Miyagi Do techniques without any problem; later helping Daniel and Johnny train their students to enter the world stage in terms of how well they conditioned their students with their fighting abilities and skill sets. His skill also advanced in his adult years, as he was able to best Post-Timeskip Daniel multiple times in their first encounter. Chozen himself was also able to best six martial artists simultaneously without being tagged once)
Standard Tactics: A Miyagi-do stylist, he is primarily a counter fighter. He tends to block incoming attacks, catching the limb if he can, after which he follows up with vicious combos. However, his attitude mainly accompanies a more aggressive variant using choking maneuvers and counters that immediately toss an opponent to the ground or have them gasping for air. Often, Chozen may immediately respond to incoming attacks but directly go for vital openings to bring an opponent to the ground. He usually feels insulted by those dishonourable and cowardly, which Chozen will openly mock them in battle for. Despite utilizing a knife he does not use it if the opponent finds hand to hand. | As an adult, Chozen has adopted a more traditional version of the Miyagi-Do style after being taught by his uncle Sato. Chozen, if with the intent to kill, will utilize his deadly style, in which he enacts more advanced blocking and vital striking to be far more brutal to an opponent, such as strikes to the leg and back, which he may accompany pressure point strikes to the opponent's limbs [See Pressure Point]. Chozen keeps his counter-striking posture of anticipating an opponent's strike and countering. Despite having Sais, he will not utilize them unless the opponent has a weapon to match that level of violence.
Weaknesses: Highly arrogant and prideful, does not see the error of his ways, Chozen appears to suffer from Borderline Personality Disorder, a serious mental illness that causes emotional instability and drastic measures to avoid perceived abandonment by others.This is evidenced by his severe emotional mood swings and the fact that Chozen flew into a rage after he was "dishonored" by Daniel and deemed the only way to make it right was by killing Daniel. Chozen very likely has this disorder, as his behavior, self-image and relationships with others are hampered as a result of him also suffering from an Impulse Control Disorder. When he is "rejected" by people he deems important in his life, Chozen takes even more drastic measures to ensure he is "respected". This likely means that Chozen's twisted definition of honor has less to do with a strange and unusual moral code and more to do with an extremely unstable brain chemistry that twists the definition to whatever suits him best. When Chozen loses a fight, he wants to be killed by his opponent as he feels there is no honor in him living if he loses. Following his defeat, Chozen is filled with great shame and desires to die before Sato saves him. | None
Notable Attacks/Techniques: 
* Has been shown to be trained more in using Miyagi Do techniques than Daniel which he should be able to gain access to having all of Daniel's techniques, since he also learned them from Miyagi Do such as the infamous Crane Kick. The only difference is that his fighting style is more aggressive than Daniel's due to having been trained in the deadlier aspects of Miyagi Do. He also stated that his methods in using Miyagi Do techniques is to the point of having no choice but to kill his opponents.
==Explanations==
Chozen is his uncle's finest student. A Miyagi-do stylist, he is primarily a counter fighter. He tends to block incoming attacks, catching the limb if he can, after which he follows up with vicious combos. He is strong, tough and athletic, and can strike with tremendous power, as seen when he kicked off part of a stone statue. He is able to easily block and counter most of Daniel's techniques, including the crane technique. Daniel is only able to defeat Chozen by waiting for him to initiate an attack, which he intercepts with the Miyagi drum technique.
As an adult, Chozen has adopted a more traditional version the Miyagi-Do style after being taught by his uncle Sato. His technique is more aggressive than Daniel's due to his training in the deadlier aspects of Miyagi-Do, but less aggressive and deadly than in the past due to Chozen's change for the better. He has also learned Miyagi-Do pressure point attacks that can temporarily paralyze limbs by numbing the nerves. He easily defeats Daniel when they spar in Miyagi-Do.
At some point, Chozen learned about Tang Soo Do, which was taught by the master of Kreese and Terry Silver, Kim Sun-Yung. However, Yung's style was controversial according to Chozen, as he was deceptive and merciless, which Chozen learned as well. In a sneak peak for season 5 of Cobra Kai, Chozen is showing displaying Sung's style to Daniel, by grabbing his neck and bringing him down.
By defeating an adult Daniel easily, this makes Chozen possibly the most skilled fighter in the modern day Karate Kid universe. It is likely that an adult Chozen could beat any character except for Miyagi. Notably, when preparing to go on the offense against Cobra Kai, Daniel sought out Chozen's help. Further proof of his remarkable skill is shown when Chozen managed to defeat an older Terry Silver despite being intoxicated, an opponent who'd defeated both Daniel and Johnny with ease, and only losing to Silver when he dropped his guard down.
