The All Valley Sports Arena is where the All Valley Karate Tournament annually takes place.
History[]
The All Valley Sports Arena was presumably used in the past where the Cobra Kai Dojo had won the tournament four times after debuting in 1975, with their top student Johnny Lawrence winning it in 1982 and 1983. Darryl Vidal of the Locust Valley Karate Club won the tournament in 1981.

The Karate Kid[]
The All Valley Sports Arena was the site of the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament. Daniel LaRusso, after training with Mr. Miyagi, decided to register for the tournament so he can face Johnny Lawrence and the Cobra Kai Dojo. Johnny Lawrence was able to qualify for the finals after defeating Daryl Vidal, while Daniel LaRusso faced Cobra Kai student Bobby Brown. However, Bobby Brown, ordered to use a cheap shot against Daniel under Kreese's orders, injures Daniel which results him being automatically disqualified. This causes Daniel to be sent into a medical room, where he is told by the doctor that he'll no longer fight. But Mr. Miyagi uses a special healing technique, rubbing both hands which allows Daniel to participate in the finals. Despite being injured in the leg once more, Daniel was able to beat Johnny Lawrence by performing a crane kick, earning him his first title.
The Karate Kid Part II[]
The All Valley Sports Arena was seen in the beginning following Daniel's victory. At the parking lot, John Kreese berates his student Johnny Lawrence for earning second place and began threatening to kill hurt him on chokehold. But Kreese is defeated by Mr. Miyagi, who decides to spare him by honking his nose.
The Karate Kid Part III[]
The All Valley Sports Arena was used once more for the 1985 All Valley Karate Tournament. Daniel was automatically qualified for the finals since he was champion of the previous tournament, though he originally didn't want to enter. He was later forced to enter by newly recruited Cobra Kai student Mike Barnes. Prior to the tournament, Terry Silver revealed his intention to open a chain of Cobra Kai dojos throughout San Fernando Valley. Terry then ordered Mike to make Daniel suffer until the sudden death round. But under advice and motivation from Mr. Miyagi, Daniel defeated Mike Barnes in the sudden death round by regaining confidence and performing the kata, earning him his second All Valley title. Terry Silver and John Kreese left in dismay, with fans throwing T-shirts at them, shutting Cobra Kai for good.
Cobra Kai[]
Season 1[]
A now adult Johnny Lawrence began visiting the All Valley Sports Arena, where he began recalling the day he lost the All Valley and being put on the chokehold by John Kreese. He then snapped back to the present when a group of teenagers including Sam who are in an SUV crash into his beloved 1991 Pontiac Firebird before driving away.
The All Valley Sports Arena was later used to host the 2018 All Valley Karate Tournament which was where the reinstated Cobra Kai Dojo made their debut after years of being banned for unsportsmanlike conduct. Other dojos that competed were Yoshukai Karate, Krunch Karate, Cutting Edge Karate, All Star Karate, Xtreme Martial Arts, and Topanga Karate. Johnny's estranged son Robby Keene participated as an independent fighter, though he would later fight under Miyagi-Do with Daniel LaRusso as his coach. Cobra Kai won the tournament when Miguel Diaz beat Robby Keene 3-2 in the finals, which put the dojo back in the spotlight. But despite their victory, Miguel Diaz and a few others including Hawk used cheap shots and dirty tactics to win, which leaves Johnny Lawrence defeated.
Season 3[]
Daniel LaRusso takes Samantha to the All Valley Sports Arena where he shares his story to her when he nearly lost to Mike Barnes, only for Mr. Miyagi to encourage him to overcome his fear and eventually beat Barnes and win the tournament once more.
Season 4[]
The All Valley Sports Arena became host of the 51st Annual Karate Championships. The tournament was way different than its previous incarnations, implementing gender divisions where boys and girls must fight separately, and a skills competition before the qualifying rounds. Aside from Cobra Kai and Miyagi-Do competing, Eagle Fang Karate made their debut in the tournament.
The skills competition is won by Cobra Kai, with Miyagi-Do in 2nd place and Eagle Fang falling behind 6th. During the round of 16, Chris loses to Kyler Park, who was able to use Miyagi-Do moves to win the tournament. Nathaniel loses to Kenny Payne. Samantha LaRusso, Demetri Alexopoulos, and Hawk of Miyagi-Do were able to make the finals. Robby Keene, Kyler Park, Piper Elswith, Kenny Payne, and Tory Nichols of Cobra Kai also qualified for the quarterfinals. This leaves Miguel Diaz and Devon Lee being the only Eagle Fang fighters to qualify for the quarterfinals, but Devon would lose to Tory Nichols. Demetri defeated Robson of All Star Karate and made the semifinals. Robby Keene defeated his own friend Kenny Payne, allowing him to make the semifinals where he defeated Demetri. Samantha LaRusso defeated Piper 2-1 in the quarterfinals. Hawk defeated Kyler Park in the quarterfinals 3-0, where he qualified for the semifinals and faced his own friend Miguel Diaz. However, Miguel Diaz suffers a back injury and chooses to not fight, allowing Hawk to advance to the finals where he faced Robby Keene. The fight seemed to be an intense match between the two fighters, leaving the score 1-1 but allowing the match to continue to the sudden death round since 1985. Hawk would defeat Robby 2-1, winning the boys title for Miyagi-Do Karate. Sam and Tory would face each other in the girls finals where Tory would defeat Sam 3-2, winning the female division title and also resulting Cobra Kai becoming the grand champion once more. But unbeknownst to everyone, Terry Silver bribed the referee by having him give out false calls to ensure Tory would win the tournament. Tory sees this and becomes upset of her victory.
