Biography[]
Although it is uncertain how Tiger Strike originated, it appears they are a dojo based in Russia. They are led by Ivanov and Oksana, and their best students is currently unknown. However, they're known to secretly perform drug enhancement tests to gain advantage.
Tiger Strike are one of the dojos that compete in the Sekai Taikai and are ranked top 4 in the scoreboard. During the elimination rounds, they lose to the Iron Dragons, but they are able to defeat Cobra Kai due to Tory Nichols' lack of focus, which gives them a place in the semifinals. Unfortunately, they get disqualified when Gunther reveals that four of their students tested positive for using PEDs, which allowed Cobra Kai to re-enter the tournament. This caused Ivanov to be angered by this, and was told that they'll be banned from participating in future competitions and Gunther ordered them to leave.
However, during the semifinals, they retaliated with Ivanov personally attacking Gunther and other staff and Oksana assisting him. This resulted Ivanov ordering his students to incite a brawl with the other dojos. Their students are mostly defeated by Miyagi-Do's Hawk and Demetri, alongside the Furia de Pantera students; Eli knocking out the male captain, Vlad and Diego knocking out another student. Ivanov and Oksana were able to get into a fight with Chozen Toguchi and Kim Da-Eun but are easily defeated, especially after Gunther, knocked Ivanov out. The students eventually stopped fighting when Kwon Jae-Sung stabs himself while fighting Axel Kovacevic.
Trivia[]
- Tiger Strike seems to be one of the few dojos in the Sekai Taikai other than Miyagi-Do Karate and Iron Dragons to actually defeat Cobra Kai during a preliminary round.
