The Miyagi-verse (Karate Kid/Cobra Kai) Timeline

He could already started school year, he started in Detroit in August/September 2008, then have winter break, then he continued in next year, 2009, but since he moved on, this time is in China. When the movie begins, like this, August 2008-June 2009, then August 2009 will be a new school year. What do you think? The movie is good, but the original KK is better.

I have watched about the first quarter. There's a line about 20 minutes in, the day before the kid gets beat nearly to death by Cheng, where his mom says they've "been here less than a week". They don't mention the school season so this might be a summer school but I could be wrong. Hard to believe, so far, that it goes from January until the fall.
 
Could be May-August 2009?, Dre could moved to China in the middle of school year. Meiying say in early May, that her violin audition will be in a month, then June, was her audition, then I think the tournment will happen in early August. In Miyagi-verse, the Qixi Festival is in May, instead of August. About Dre's age, we could say Dre just rounded his age to 12, when he say in June 8, 2009, since he will turn 12 on July 8, 2009, a month after that date, since he practically already 12.

Yeah, that's about the long and the short of it. The only thing I can't get over is school this late in the year.
 
See If make sense: Dre's middle school year started in August/September 2008, in Detroit, then Dre and his mother moved to China, in May, in the middle of school year, so Dre continued his school year in China, that have finished in June 2009.
