The school's security measures made no sense
Following the school brawl at the end of Season 2 of "Cobra Kai," the administrators and school board implement stricter security measures to crack down on potential forms of violence at the school. However, as Reddit user u/Exam_United (https://www.reddit.com/r/cobrakai/comments/mr7wga/i_can_understand_tory_bracelet_but_what_else/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) points out over on the "Cobra Kai" subreddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/cobrakai/), this actually doesn't make any sense when it comes to stopping martial arts-related violence. While the kids in the show are shown to use various weapons, most of the combat in the series ultimately comes down to hand-to-hand fighting. A school can't perform a bag check for that.
Within the thread, u/Crunchy_Biscuit (https://www.reddit.com/r/cobrakai/comments/mr7wga/comment/gukvljg/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) was also amused at this oversight but stated, "This is why martial arts is important. They can confiscate a weapon but they can't confiscate your skills!" Of course, others pointed out that it wasn't actually an oversight by the writers, but it's to show how ineffective schools often can be when it comes to stopping violence. However, u/MisteWolfe (https://www.reddit.com/r/cobrakai/comments/mr7wga/comment/gukvuyt/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) does point out that weapons are used during the brawl itself, so it does seem like a smart move on the school's part either way.
Despite that, even without weapons the kids in question can be quite dangerous. The security protocols implemented by the school in "Cobra Kai" feel like half-measures, at best.
