Robert Mark Kamen’s hugely popular remake of The Karate Kid films has earned its rightful place as one of Netflix’s best shows, and we explain who Albert Olmstead is ahead. The professional mentioned in a Cobra Kai season 4 homage was Olmstead.

Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg created the show Cobra Kai. Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence reappear in the show decades after their battle at the All Valley Karate Tournament in 1984. New characters are also introduced to the school.

Cobra Kai’s tribute for the fourth season

A tribute shown during the final credits of Cobra Kai season 4 rapidly drew the attention of fans.

Omstead’s brother-in-law also told 11 Alive, “He supported their needs and put their needs first, whether it was emotionally, financially, or everything.”

Wachtel went on to add, “Had he gone out there five minutes earlier or five minutes later, our world would be entirely different place right now.”

In his memory, Cobra Kai devoted the seventh episode of their fourth season to Albert Omstead.

After the Professional’s Death, the Olmstead Family

Albert Omstead passed away shockingly and suddenly, according to his family.

On July 19, 2021, Omstead was standing next to a retaining wall in his own home when the wall abruptly collapsed, killing him.

His brother-in-law Scott Wachtel told the news organization 11 Alive that “instantaneously, the entire thing just collapsed on top of him.”

He went on to say: “The garage door was closed and there was a van parked right here (in front of garage), so he couldn’t run this way (towards garage), he couldn’t run this way (away from garage) because the rest of the wall was collapsing over here, so he had nowhere to go.”
