[[WMG: This movie isn't a "reboot" -- it's set in the same universe as the original Karate Kid franchise.]]
This movie isn't retconning the characters of Daniel, Johnny, Kreese, etc., but using entirely different characters in a different location who just happen to follow a similar storyline to the original movie. There's no reason to believe that the events of this film couldn't co-exist with the continuity of the original movie and its franchise. Jackie Chan is name-dropped in ''Series/CobraKai'', but you can just chalk that up to CelebrityParadox.

[[WMG: The real reason Mr. Han says what Master Li teaches isn't Kung Fu]]
Master Li actually learned from [[Film/TheKarateKid Kreese's sensei]] but, since he's teaching to his fellow Chinese, he calls it "Kung Fu" instead of karate for marketing reasons. Mr. Han just happens to be somebody who can tell the difference ''and'' cares about it. Practically everybody else just dismisses it as a variation of Kung Fu.
[[WMG: Master Li's dojo will receive a life ban.]]
The people organizing the tournament in China are more strict than those organizing the All-Valley Karate Tournament in [[Film/TheKarateKid1984 California]] and issued the ban without the need for Master Li to team up with a Chinese [[Film/TheKarateKidPartIII Terry Silver]]. Cheng will try to lift the ban [[Series/CobraKai in the 2040's]] but will fail and then decide to [[LoopholeAbuse come up with a different name for the dojo to get around it]].
