During the first season of “Cobra Kai,” Eli “Hawk” Moskowitz (Jacob Bertrand) changes his appearance and personality after joining the Cobra Kai dojo, owned by Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka). The martial artist, who used to be a timid “Doctor Who” fan, becomes increasingly aggressive and harasses his former best friend, Demetri (Gianni Decenzo). In season 2, episode 5, Hawk vandalizes the Miyagi-Do Karate dojo owned by Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio). His behavior only worsens during the show’s third season. He brutally beats up Brucks ( Bo Mitchell), who used to bully him, and later breaks Demetri’s arm. However, the teenager eventually regrets his past actions and manages to mend his friendship with Demetri. He also becomes a student at Daniel and Johnny’s joint dojo.

Peyton List and her twin brother Spencer just turned 23 years old, and Jacob Bertrand has a message for them. The Cobra Kai star went to Instagram to wish two siblings a happy birthday as the trio have been friends for many years. "Happy Birthday Lists!" Bertrand wrote. "I didn't...

During the first season of Cobra Kai, Eli Moskowitz (Jacob Bertrand) and his best friend Demetri (Gianni Decenzo) are relentlessly bullied by the popular students at West Valley High School. The teenagers decide to join the Cobra Kai dojo, owned by Johnny Lawrence (William “Billy” Zabka), to learn self-defense. After Johnny makes cruel remarks about the facial disfigurement on his upper lip, Eli decides to cut his hair into a mohawk as a way to distract from his scar. His new hairstyle inspires Johnny to give him the nickname Hawk.

Jacob Bertrand never imagined that he would be a role model to kids — until he took on the part of Eli Moskowitz (Hawk) in “Cobra Kai.”. In the Netflix series, which is based on the “Karate Kid” movies, the 21-year-old’s character has a cleft lip, which inspired him to join forces with nonprofits including Smile Train and connect with young fans.

Jacob Bertrand plays one of the main characters in the hit Netflix series Cobra Kai. While his character, Eli/Hawk, starts off as someone fans root for, the last two seasons saw him take a very dark turn.

Jacob Bertrand is one of the many Cobra Kai actors who perform a lot of martial arts moves. And because of that, the 20-year-old is now on track to be a martial arts master.

Eli Moskowitz has undergone some rapid-fire shifts throughout Cobra Kai‘s three seasons, but can we really trust that the savage, spiky-haired bad boy can change his stripes?. Jacob Bertrand‘s shy and insecure Eli — better known as the ass-kicking baddie Hawk — took an even uglier turn in Season 3...

[Editor's note: The following contains spoilers through the Season 3 finale of Cobra Kai.]. How about that Cobra Kai Season 3 finale fight? Yet again, the show delivered an epic showdown with wildly impressive camerawork and fight choreography, but even more remarkable is how many key story beats and character arcs shine through, even amidst all that action. We’ve got Miguel (Xolo Maridueña) getting back to fighting form and Sam (Mary Mouser) finally facing Tory (Peyton List), but a personal favorite is something I’ve been eager to see since Season 1, Hawk (Jacob Bertrand) and Demetri (Gianni DeCenzo) joining forces again.

Cobra Kai season 2 ended with the show’s most intense fight yet. The high school brawl between Miyagi-Do and Cobra Kai student topped anything in the Karate Kid movies, too. It’ll be a tough act for season 3 to follow, but stars Xolo Maridueña, Peyton List, Mary Mouser and Jacob Bertrand are up to the challenge.
