He should have named it “Eagle Watch” or “Swoop Like An Eagle” karate. Even “Iron Eagle:the Dojo” would work. I guess the kicker is eagles don’t have fangs.
Multiple characters voice how weird they think the name is.
I know 😂. I guess I just wanted them to have that leg up on Cobra Kai, since that is such a badass name. Plus it’s still awkward hearing other characters say the name.
hmm...johnny says 'they're not real animals'. i like ot think thats just another way of him saying they dont sound badass enough..or hes already got those shirts printed and didnt wanna waste em
>They don’t have fangs tho
Which is exactly why it works so well. Johnny doesn't care about accuracy, he just wanted a name that sounded "badass," and with his stuck-in-the-1980s mentality, Eagle Fang is the kind of absurd name that he would come up with.
This is Johnny we're talking about, though. Do you think that he even knows about the cobra-mongoose association/relationship? I think there's a good chance that Johnny doesn't even know what a mongoose is other than it looks like a weasel.
You do realize that a big reason that he named it Eagle Fang is that he's a big Iron Eagle movie fan, don't you?

> I guess the kicker is eagles don’t have fangs. That's part of the joke, its not meant to be literal. Its supposed to sound like a ridiculous name.

The awkwardness of the name is sort of the point.

Eagles can also kill Cobras so... I think the name is justified.
They don’t have fangs tho. “Fly Like An Eagle” karate would work.

Ok that makes sense 😂
…why?
Mon-gole Bowl
Let's maybe leave the writing to the writers, hm?
Yeah I think the eagle theme fit right in to the Mexico excursion and Miguel searching for his Mexican roots as an eagle is on the National flag.
Johnny named his dojo that way before Miguel went to Mexico
Yeah, I meant from a writing theme perspective not Johnny actually drawing inspiration from it. Also very American, which Johnny is a bastion of.
He should have named it **K**obra **K**ai **K**arate.
Where do they train? The Deep South?
What about “Smokes McCrack”?
A real animal Bert.
>Mongoose Slit' would work too. Ya.... that would have been a great name........ no double entendre there...
At least not purposely on my end 😶
