I gave up on expecting realism from cheesy action movies a long time ago.
My favorite (alleged) quote is from Peter Jackson to Sean Aston:
Sean: "If we're in a cave, where is the light supposed to be coming from?"
Peter: "The same place as the music."
Edit: Having said that, the fighters ARE pretty bad. I recently commented that the original Karate kid only needed one person who could fight and act (Zabka). Larusso was supposed to be awkward, and the rest of the Cobra Kai fighters had minimal speaking parts.
By contrast, this series has a LOT of speaking parts, so they focussed more on getting actors than fighters.
