Cobra Kai's Martin Kove Turns in a Comically Stiff Paso Doble on DWTS

Martin Kove found his way into the Dancing With the Stars hall of shame last night with a performance that rivaled that of the show's all-time worst.

Taking the stage in character as Cobra Kai's legendary dojo Kreese, the 71 year-old Kove opened with a "Yes Sensei" call-and-response skit before being joined by his pro partner Britt Stewart and, um, "dancing" the Paso Doble to the Karate Kid anthem "You're the Best."

The judges were not impressed, awarding Kove the night's lowest score — a 13.

Luckily for Kove, he's got a week to turn things around. The show's first elimination doesn't come til week 2.

Dancing with the Stars airs on ABC Monday nights at 8:00 PM ET.
