'Cobra Kai' Star Mary Mouser Says She's 'Covered in Bruises' While Filming
Cobra Kai continues the story of The Karate Kid franchise, one of the most famous martial arts entertainment properties of all time, and the stars have the bruises to prove it.
Mary Mouser, who plays Samantha LaRusso in the streaming show, talked about how the filming was physically demanding, although she admits that a lot of it was down to her own lack of coordination.
"I have more than my fair share of mishaps," she told Digital Spy and other media outlets. "I'm a clumsy enough person before they gave me stunt work! And it just doesn't get any easier from there."

She continued: "Luckily, you know, [in] the show, they keep challenging us to do something new, and something bigger, and something crazier. So naturally, my clumsiness gets bigger and crazier.
"I've had a couple of injuries, all pretty much completely on my own. Messed myself up. Mis-blocked a kick... Had to go to the ER but I was all clear, all good!
"Then I fought the whole next day and did all the episode 10 of season 2 fight. The next day after that I messed up my own ankle, rolling out of bed weird. And, yeah, just ridiculous things like that!
"I'm very often covered in bruises while filming this show. Most of them completely self-inflicted."
