Peyton List joined “Cobra Kai” in Season 2, so she was essentially joining a cast that was more skilled in karate than her. “Peyton came in about mid-season,” stuntman Jahnel Curfman told CheatSheet. “So we’re talking Mary Mouser, Xolo Maridueno, Jacob Bertrand, Tanner Buchanna all those guys had had about two months of training before that. And they had the season before, so they had all been training for quite a while by the time Peyton came in.”
It also didn’t help that List was juggling multiple projects at the time, so she couldn’t dedicate much time to training. Still, Curfman said List was diligent and able to master the choreography needed in a jiffy. “Luckily for us, she picked up choreography very quickly,” she said. “She was very open to learning and to really perfecting her method and choreography as much as she possibly could. She did very well for the small amount of time that we had with her.”
And while she didn’t get to train much with her stuntman, the training had an immense impact on her confidence. “It has impacted my life and my confidence more than I ever thought it would,” List told Yahoo! Life. “Just from playing the character Tory, I found my confidence as a woman.”
