Why This Documentary?

The Karate Kid franchise changed lives, and Cobra Kai reignited a global obsession. But beyond the screen, a passionate fandom thrives—one that spans generations, cultures, and backgrounds. Kai Hards is a documentary that dives deep into this phenomenon, capturing the heart and soul of the fans who keep the legacy alive.

 

From Comic-Con gatherings to personal stories of perseverance, mentorship, and redemption, we explore why this universe means so much to so many. With exclusive interviews, behind-the-scenes moments, and fan experiences, this film is for those who live by Strike First, Strike Hard, No Mercy—but also by Balance, Honor, and Legacy.

 

Join us in celebrating the story behind the story. Help us bring this project to life and show the world why Cobra Kai and The Karate Kid are more than just entertainment—they’re a way of life.
