2. Cobra Kai
The series reignites the rivalry between Daniel Larusso and Johnny Lawrence from the iconic Karate Kid films as they reopen the infamous Cobra Kai Karate Dojo. “Cobra Kai”, which is currently awaiting its sixth season, blends comedy with exhilarating martial arts action, striking a perfect balance between homage and innovation.

1. Warrior
It follows Ah Sahm, a martial arts prodigy from China who immigrated to San Francisco in the late 1800s and finds himself caught in the brutal Chinatown tongs. “Warrior” is an action-packed series that blends historical drama with martial arts spectacle and is based on an original concept by the late actor Bruce Lee. It originally aired on Cinemax and HBO Max, so it’s lucky to even be on Netflix. Unfortunately, since it’s licensed, there’s no telling how long it will stay on Netflix. It is not available in every region, but hopefully, it will continue to show up in more countries.
