Cobrai Kai has officially been reopened.

The first teaser trailer for the Karate Kid-inspired TV series dropped on Friday, more than 30 years after Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence faced off at the All Valley Karate Tournament in 1984. Written by Josh Heald and Jon Hurtwitz, the series will be available for streaming later this year on YouTube Red.

Check out the trailer below.
