You know what's really amazing? I'm an amateur magician, and his sleight of hand with that ball is actually not bad -- as in, those were real, known techniques of stage and parlor manipulation acts, so he was either classically trained or actually studied the classical textbooks of something that he could have actually used to make an honest living instead of going to 100x more trouble to fake bullshido.
This guy is a product of his time, capitalizing on the needs of the ninja boom generation. Imagine the kicks his students were having watching this fantasy ninja grandmaster show off with his katanas and fancy ninja uniforms.
I love how they actually never moved the hula hoop under him. It's like they were hellbent on making the worst magic trick ever. Even David Copperfield flew through several rings. Does that means he's a much better ninja?
There was a magician on Saturday mornings who did tricks like that with his wife, in the 60s, and it was very entertaining. His son performed tricks at the end of each show
INCREDIBLE that he sold a lot of books and Instructional videos. He was said to be able to fart with such force it propelled his body forward a few feet.
The video where he is dodging imaginary bullets...it sounds like the air gun audio from Home Alone, when he is shooting action figures down the laundry chute.
I was just reading on him online now, got curious. seems he had and still has some students. can't even feel sorry for this guy, he seems like a complete scumbag, a lying con man with serious delussions
Странно Хрипы I just saw it. And yeah. Our Master is amazing. These guys are but a stain on humanity. We can cleanse them with the true way of the ninja.
Man, my stomach is killing me right now, from all the sweet Ninjutsu moves I just learned... what? It's all fake? Doing the worm isn't a martial arts conditioning technique?! Every single gang member, mafia enforcer or common street thug knows at least 20 of the death techniques in the last part of the video? Damn, I was just setting up my gun range to snatch 'life from the jaws of death' by catching a bullet! Say what? I would literally be snatching 'life from the jaws of life'? Ouch... I want a refund!!! Lol, great video man! I just barely remember seeing something long, long ago about this fool. Literally prior to the internet as we know it today. Took all of 1/2 of a second to utter a pssssht! and ROFL! Thanks for taking the time to make this.
I literally went on the internet and learned the thumb trick before filming the video, and I feel that with a few more days of practice I could be a better magician than Ashida.
That was seriously fun! :D I really loved his "27 deathblows" or whatever it was - "ripping of the face" etc. hahaha! Epic case of a dude living in his own fantasy land :D But then again - would martial arts really have been so appealing to us as kids, had we not seen crackpots like this guy and the many crazy B-movie ninja-films of the 80's? They were pure gold back then, and a big reason for me to get into real martial arts and therefore go on to study kung fu for 10 years. I think we should almost pay homage to this guy instead - almost ;) Funny guy though :D
Yeah, I got into MA from movies too. The main difference is that Sho Kosugi and guys like that actually knew real martial arts that they were exaggerating for the movies, whereas Ashida Kim is just a fraud. Speaking of his 27 death blows, that's actually a rip-off of another martial arts fraud: Count Dante and the "Dance of Death", which I might do a video on sometime in the future. Glad you liked the video.
It's not a rip off from Count Dante, This fool paid for it out the back of a comic book. Count Dante's most successful student of all times right there. Put that stuff to good use. Might even have made more money than Mater Dante.
I bought secrets of the ninja when I was 12 and did everything that the book said I was a "ninja wannabe" I wanted to be a ninja so bad and at the time had a collection f NINJa magazine
I wish they made a fighting game featuring Ashida Kim, Frank Dux, and various other Bullshido masters, and the end game boss is Steven Segall. Edit: WHOA! HOLY SHIT! DID YOU SEE HOW THIS GUY DETACHED HIS THUMB!? AND THE REATTACHED IT!?
Crypto Miguel until you've taken a man's life with a tiger claw/ reverse tiger claw combo, try not to judge. Honestly you just sound stupid right now. **finishing pose**
also ninjas supposed to avoid been seen and fighting at all cost, and only dose when it's needed, ninjas are supposed to be silent, and try to go for the kill with their weapons and then leave the area. what Ashida Kim is doing is not Ninja stuff, it's Bullshito.
Probably because 1) there was scant information available about ninjutsu during the ninja boom 2) videos were rare as equipment was bulky and very expensive for amateurs so you couldn’t examine his technique closely; anything works in still photography 3) He knew his market…largely alienated and unathletic teenage boys or mall ninja types 4) there was still a culture of belief regarding “deadly” techniques, secret styles etc. Martial arts were still quite fringe during the 80s Ashida Kim is very good at talking bullshit, and the fact information on him was so scant fuelled the mystery and ironically, the authenticity From my own experience I remember how Wing Chun was being hawked as the great ultimate style due to the attachment to Bruce Lee I finally get to see a video produced by Michael Tse featuring Ip Man’s son, Ip Chun It was laughably bad…the “attackers” took huge, slow lunging attacks whilst Ip Chun returned at breakneck speed. There was live resistance (yes I know it’s for instruction but still) When he demonstrated Si Lum Tao he could barely keep his balance performing a side kick to the knee! I can forgive someone being past their prime but when GM Hwang Jang Lee of TKD & countless Hong Kong movies can still outkick students half his age…well?!?
Wait wait I actually read one of Ashida's books and you know what he copied Count Dante's infamous Kata Dan'te word for word he just called it Dragon Fire Fist or something
Fun fact about poison hands it's not a form or kata but instead something else. It's a method of training meant to enhance ones killing potential in unarmed combat. In other words it can work with any martial art such as Boxing or Gracie Jiu-jitsu. The idea is to use the correct amount of poisonous insects and plants until your body becomes used to it. However it needs to be the correct amount otherwise the concoction will become useless.
Yeahhhhh, I lived through the "ninja boom" of the '80's. It was sad, instructors were crawling out from under every rock to claim they were legit ninjas and it was a secret how they became so. Today, it's the same way with Krav Maga, people watch some videos, read some books and bingo, they become instant Krav masters.
At last, someone that sees Krav Maga for what it is! All the guys in my city are screaming about how colossally effective it is, and they flock up to the local krav maga gym.
Real Krav isn't bad, problem is finding an instructor who was properly trained and can link their lineage to Israel. It's nothing really new, it was a combination of boxing, street smarts and judo originally and just developed from there. What irritates me is when you see a self taught instructor who isn't even getting close to it but people flock to them to train. We have one such instructor here in Northwest Arkansas, he has given himself many titles over the years and has been going by professor for over a decade. Half his students can't fight their way out of a wet paper bag.
How so. Just saying I'm wrong doesn't make me wrong. If you're going to tell me I'm wrong, you need to explain why otherwise you have no point and I'm not wrong.
Glad you liked it! Sadly, as bad as Ashida Kim is, there are worse (or at the very least, more fantastical) bullshido artists out there. At the very least, Ashida Kim doesn't claim to do No Touch KOs.
Ashida essentially borrowed\stole that "death dance" from Count Dante, the "Deadliest Man Alive." He took those moves from Dante's 'Fail Order" instruction booklet he obviously ordered out of a comic. The sad fact is though, this "death dance" is essentially made up of various Kenpo Katas where you do multiple 'rakes' to the face and after-they've-fallen stomps; such as Master Ken's famous're-stomp the groin.' It amazes me how folks like Ashida and Dillman and Frank Dux can brainwash folks into thinking their whacked out martial concepts are remotely effective in self defense situations.
Dillman at least had credence as a legit karate champion, albeit at kata, and produced successful students He’s also clearly competent despite age and waistline increase 😂 Dux? I’m not sure…I’ve seen some demos and he’s good, but no more than dozens of mall karate/Hapkido instructors However, he did have the advantage of being tall, rugged looking and built, in his early years. It’s easier to believe the tall tales of someone who has the build of a soldier than the build of a computer programmer 😂 Kim I NEVER got…even in photos his technique looked amateurish However, I’ve seen plenty of legit martial artists who don’t look that spectacular when demonstrating. I think we’ve been spoilt by countless Hong Kong kungfu flicks!
Also…most people have NEVER been in a fight outside of a playground scrap in their preteens….if something LOOKS good then it’s accepted Bruce Tegner, a martial arts pioneer in the 50s, was addressing the same problems of the kungfu cults in his books AT THE TIME!
Think about it. He's a genius. It's been said that one can never underestimate the stupidity of the public at large. The guy is being paid lots of money by his followers and has been for decades. Never worked a day. Just found enough gullible people to pay for his life. Brilliant if you have no scruples.
Just to pile on, at 8:21 he talks about attacking the brachial artery and brachial nerve. The brachial artery does exist. The brachial nerve does not exist. The median nerve is the structure in that area.
Love the video. Was just curious what style of Kung Fu you train in. I've been studying Northern Shaolin for quite a while now(with Muay Thai as well). Keep up the great vids.
In my opinion he was a marketing genius and he came at the right place at the right time when the Ninja boom took off and made alot of money. He didn't hurt anyone He just made those jealous of him who didn't think of it first.
Thing is, if anyone thought that they could handle themselves in a real fight (aside from other training, physical size and strength, conditioning, etc.) after watching all his videos… Well…. 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨
And people actually paid money to this man to "learn" from him. I read his "Secrets Of The Ninja" book and his "techniques" for stealth were clearly taken from the US Army Common Skills For The Soldier field manual with some modifications. The "Billy and Jimmy Lee would totally kick his ass" at then made me laugh my ass off. I was hoping for a Double Dragon shoutout. (Please don't hate me but that was actually Rain, not Lightning *ducks*)
I had "Secrets of the NInja" when I was probably 7 or 8 years old because I thought Ninjas were badass. It wasn't an issue until Paladin Press started sending catalogs full of "soldier of fortune" type of books that my mom became a bit concerned.
Larsen Halleck lol! You did do better then him. The slight of hand he did was good, but the fact he used his sleeves to aid in his steals was so cliché it was unreal. I do it without sleeves. So I guess slight of hand is part of martial arts...
Nothing's funnier than the guy's "training" videos. It's almost impossible to believe he wasn't doing a parody. The only thing missing is if Chris Farley were the "ninja" featured. Hilarious! Thank you!
you never see this ashida kim frank dux or steven seagal in the same room.he saw american ninja 1 and he just couldnt let go. and in hes dream him and Michael Dudikoff practicing the north south position until there sore. good times
07:54 holy fucking shitballs! He's literally killed the guy and yet, turns him over from his front onto his back to stomp his balls! This guy is pure savage!
It's easy to defend yourself and fight someone that doesn't fight back and just stands/lays there lol I'd love to see him try n do any of them moves on a proper fighter or even just brawler
Ashida kim has only ever studied some karate styles, he has not yet ever been able to prove where he gained his black belt, his instructors/dojos all seem to be as mysterious as thin hot air...Any reputable Black belt would be only to happy to give the name of his/her club/dojo plus name and rank of their Instructor/master.
Lucky you. Back when I was in high school I was dumb enough to buy one of his books, I read it through, realized what a load of horseshit it was, and have hated him since.
Heck, I wouldn’t even need to break a sweat to beat this guy’s ass to a bloody pulp. Just go right up to the man, keep your elbows down (no telegraphing) and one solid cross punch right to the nose will knock the man clean out. Maybe I’d do a little footwork to throw him off first. Maybe. 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣 After that punch, the only thing that guy would be able to do is meditate on the nature of the fraud that he is, that a beginner fighter like myself could knock him out so easily. No, I’m certainly NOT agreeing to his RIDICULOUS demands. He’s gonna get his ass beat one of these days. As in, being hospitalized…. 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Larsen Halleck and oddly enough right after the movie came out, there were ashida kim like wannabes that started offering that training. And if any of them had been able to demonstrate how to walk down from the top of a building on the water stream from a fire hose, I'd have totally signed up. (There was a short lived Remo tv series where he did that. T'was mo' better than just running on flat water like the movie. Also fuck I'm old lol)
I was under the impression that Kim stole his material from Count Dante, a legit martial artist who took the crazy train to kung-foolery, shilling his 'Deadliest Man in the World' crap in the back of comic books.
breaks that dudes neck at least 4 times then crushes his head with a palm heel. AMAZE! But to break a guys shoulder by using magical swordfish hand to the middle of the tricep is nek' level! RESPECT BRO ... RESPECT.
OHhh man... I'm so glad I can't find my ninjitsu book I bought when I was 15.... Good thing I was training in Muay Thai and BJJ at XFC at the time or else I would've been duped.
I'm reminded of a line from the show Justified, when the main character Raylan is talking to a boxer and the boxer threatens to knock his teeth out: "Oh you gonna bop and weave out of the path of a bullet? Cause that I'd like to see." I always wanted to see that and well hells bells here it is!
The truth is that there are many people, mostly teenagers, who WISH they were ninjas. So there appears somebody who sells them this dream. "Hey, I am ninja. I can make you a ninja." Just like astrology and future tellers, and other scams. People will believe any of their nonsense, because they have *already* chosen to do so.
The dude is a legendary joke. He showed up at a legitimate ninjutsu event and was invited to leave and not come back. The man is an insult to any real practitioner
Ahh, yes the Bujinkan, the super secret scrolls ninja dojo a B rate actor made up to separate dumb westerners from their money. How much for my 15th Dan dragon black belt?
@@craigcarroll1790 I don't believe he ever showed up to any Bujinkan event. If this really happened, which event and what year ? What was the name of the instructors that were present ?
when Ashida Kim made this, how the hell did they watch that hoolahoop bit and think that was a good idea to leave in? Mr. Shita Kim! we need a reaction video.
Man come on, I doubted the levitation first but didn't you see the hula hoop? And sure he never actually went through it but obviously that was just because it was more convenient for the guy holding the hoop, he didn't want to walk around that much and get winded. It's pretty clear mr Kim can indeed fly.
Ive trained with what he taught and its saved my ass more than once without even thinkin about it, like second nature. Every bit of it is all handed down
Wow I didn't know that when I practice basic sleight of hand techniques (yes I'm a magic nerd get over it) I was actually mastering the mystic martial arts. How many times do I have to pull a rabbit out of a hat to earn my black belt?
Ashida Kim vs. Joe Rogan (fight synopsis): Round 1: FIGHT! Joe walks right over to Ashida and starts with a flurry of blindingly fast punches and kicks to the solar plexus, legs, face, etc. It is infinitely more than Ashida has ever had to deal with, in terms of power, speed, and complexity. He is knocked out (TKO) within a few seconds of the first round. Joe shrugs his shoulders, grinning broadly, as he waltzes back to his corner, yawning. …And that was Joe taking it easy on Radford. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣😂😂🤣😂😂🤣😄😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣😂😂
You know what's really amazing? I'm an amateur magician, and his sleight of hand with that ball is actually not bad -- as in, those were real, known techniques of stage and parlor manipulation acts, so he was either classically trained or actually studied the classical textbooks of something that he could have actually used to make an honest living instead of going to 100x more trouble to fake bullshido.
Not sleight of hand, he’s a Ninja and it was real Ninja magic.
Obviously.
Those tricks are whats called " illusionettes"
This guy is a product of his time, capitalizing on the needs of the ninja boom generation.
Imagine the kicks his students were having watching this fantasy ninja grandmaster show off with his katanas and fancy ninja uniforms.
No really he can really make things disappear when I was a kid I bought one of his books that $8 disappeared fast.
😂😂
Me too, bro.... Me too....
I bought 3 of his books and learned.
Dude, he broke the guys neck like 6 times. Definitely a Ninja.
I love how they actually never moved the hula hoop under him.
It's like they were hellbent on making the worst magic trick ever. Even David Copperfield flew through several rings. Does that means he's a much better ninja?
Yes. He is a better ninja. That is all.
I legit thought that the guy with the hoola hoop was trying to demonstrate that he hadn't started levitating yet lol.
There was a magician on Saturday mornings who did tricks like that with his wife, in the 60s, and it was very entertaining. His son performed tricks at the end of each show
That was intentional, how did you miss that?
I lost my shit watching the 27 deadly strikes, best comedy since The Plank.
I am
Double tiger claw ripping off any remaining flesh. Hahaha.
this is why is important to kids to play and have fun... otherwise you end up being an old fart playing silly games.
Nice comment btw... Lol😂😂😂
or maybe he’s using the fantasies of the kids to get ez money
It’s kind of depressing how accurate this is
Sorry, he forgot to restomp the groin..... not legit at all
Yeah, Master Ken would slap the shit out of this guy.
:D
Ashida Kim is bullshit
This is shit, Amerido-te is better
Aaron Hydes I see you too are a student of the Great Master Ken.
INCREDIBLE that he sold a lot of books and Instructional videos. He was said to be able to fart with such force it propelled his body forward a few feet.
And it was music coming out of his ass
The video where he is dodging imaginary bullets...it sounds like the air gun audio from Home Alone, when he is shooting action figures down the laundry chute.
😂😂😂
Hah I think you are right
People haven't realized, most of his techniques are from American and British hand to hand combat manuals.
so this is the infamous ashida kim.. this loon actually had students??
I don't know if he actually had students, but he did sell more books then he deserved to.
I was just reading on him online now, got curious.
seems he had and still has some students. can't even feel sorry for this guy, he seems like a complete scumbag, a lying con man with serious delussions
Странно Хрипы I just saw it. And yeah. Our Master is amazing. These guys are but a stain on humanity. We can cleanse them with the true way of the ninja.
Well... I used to read his books.When I was ten.

9:24 "Tiger claw, ripping any remaining flesh"
I died at that one 😂
Its called "ripping a new rectum".
do I need the mask to dodge bullets?
russell richard yes. It's tactical.
No. you need that magic mask he's wearing and you need his training or it just will not work.
I thought Ninjas were supposed to be silent...why is he yelling while doing multiple tiger claw strikes?
Mike C bcoz thats not ninjitsu tiger claw, thats fist of the north star.so he need yelling...just like kenshiro lol
Crypto Miguel until you've taken a man's life with a tiger claw/ reverse tiger claw combo, try not to judge. Honestly you just sound stupid right now.
**finishing pose**

what Ashida Kim is doing is not Ninja stuff, it's Bullshito.
How did he survive for so long?
Probably because
1) there was scant information available about ninjutsu during the ninja boom
2) videos were rare as equipment was bulky and very expensive for amateurs so you couldn’t examine his technique closely; anything works in still photography
3) He knew his market…largely alienated and unathletic teenage boys or mall ninja types
4) there was still a culture of belief regarding “deadly” techniques, secret styles etc. Martial arts were still quite fringe during the 80s
Ashida Kim is very good at talking bullshit, and the fact information on him was so scant fuelled the mystery and ironically, the authenticity
From my own experience I remember how Wing Chun was being hawked as the great ultimate style due to the attachment to Bruce Lee
I finally get to see a video produced by Michael Tse featuring Ip Man’s son, Ip Chun
It was laughably bad…the “attackers” took huge, slow lunging attacks whilst Ip Chun returned at breakneck speed. There was live resistance (yes I know it’s for instruction but still)
When he demonstrated Si Lum Tao he could barely keep his balance performing a side kick to the knee!
I can forgive someone being past their prime but when GM Hwang Jang Lee of TKD & countless Hong Kong movies can still outkick students half his age…well?!?
I like his "double dragon stomps". Very legit
I had one of his books in the 80's and I still remember something about snuffing the candle with nunchukus and crushing the medula oblongata
Wait wait I actually read one of Ashida's books and you know what he copied Count Dante's infamous Kata Dan'te word for word he just called it Dragon Fire Fist or something
27 death strikes
kid from Simpsons:
"Stop! He's already dead!
my favorite one is when he is 'sneaking' up on the guard and the guy walks in a big circle to turn around. that shit had me weak! :D
Asian mysticism: "Break like the wind..." Wait a minute, that was a Spinal Tap tour..
Wow, did you see him rip that guys face off with double tiger claws??
I was more impressed with the double dragon stomps myself.

I had "Secrets of the NInja" when I was probably 7 or 8 years old because I thought Ninjas were badass. It wasn't an issue until Paladin Press started sending catalogs full of "soldier of fortune" type of books that my mom became a bit concerned.
As an amateur magician, I could do a better job then Kim.
As someone who learned the detachable thumb trick just for this video, I feel that *I* am a better magician than him!
Larsen Halleck lol! You did do better then him. The slight of hand he did was good, but the fact he used his sleeves to aid in his steals was so cliché it was unreal. I do it without sleeves. So I guess slight of hand is part of martial arts...
RIDING THE WIND, what he really means is passing gas lmao
That’s about all the man is really good for. Learning how to fart better…. 😂🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣
“Riding the wind…”. 😂🤣😂😂😂😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂😂😂
Nothing's funnier than the guy's "training" videos. It's almost impossible to believe he wasn't doing a parody. The only thing missing is if Chris Farley were the "ninja" featured. Hilarious! Thank you!
He still has these vids on his channel too.
That "levitation" LOL
Son of Lars, this HAS to be either some weird attempt at performance art, or it just plainly one of the funniest satires I have ever seen.
I wish that were true, but sadly this guy is the real deal (a real crackpot, that is)
you never see this ashida kim frank dux or steven seagal in the same room.he saw american ninja 1 and he just couldnt let go. and in hes dream him and Michael Dudikoff practicing the north south position until there sore. good times
brett smith
Great film. Dudikoff ruled those films
yeh dude the good days if you watch them now tho there really funny
07:54 holy fucking shitballs! He's literally killed the guy and yet, turns him over from his front onto his back to stomp his balls! This guy is pure savage!
It's easy to defend yourself and fight someone that doesn't fight back and just stands/lays there lol I'd love to see him try n do any of them moves on a proper fighter or even just brawler
You can literally see him palm the ping pong ball hahaha
frank dux,ashida kim, and count dante, masters of fail fu.
Ashida kim has only ever studied some karate styles, he has not yet ever been able to prove where he gained his black belt, his instructors/dojos all seem to be as mysterious as thin hot air...Any reputable Black belt would be only to happy to give the name of his/her club/dojo plus name and rank of their Instructor/master.
thanks for sharing Larsen Halleck
Until RUclips I'd never heard of him, and I've been training in martial arts since 1973.
Lucky you. Back when I was in high school I was dumb enough to buy one of his books, I read it through, realized what a load of horseshit it was, and have hated him since.
Holy crap. Thats bloody funny. I’m no longer scared of ninjas 😳
Heck, I wouldn’t even need to break a sweat to beat this guy’s ass to a bloody pulp. Just go right up to the man, keep your elbows down (no telegraphing) and one solid cross punch right to the nose will knock the man clean out. Maybe I’d do a little footwork to throw him off first. Maybe. 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣
After that punch, the only thing that guy would be able to do is meditate on the nature of the fraud that he is, that a beginner fighter like myself could knock him out so easily.
No, I’m certainly NOT agreeing to his RIDICULOUS demands. He’s gonna get his ass beat one of these days. As in, being hospitalized…. 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
thumbs up +1 (I am going to call Joe Rogan and ask him if he will take the challenge to take this fraud out).
The intro music is RISING ZAN! Respect man...
Indeed it is! Glad you liked the video, please subscribe.
So you're going to snap your attackers neck 3 times ? It all makes sense now
This guy was the precursor to Master Ken excuse my language but holy shit I can’t unsee that now
I " ride the wind" every Taco Tuesday.
owadave ha!
im pretty sure he stole his moves from "Chun" from "Remo William, The adventure begins" movie.
To be fair, Sinanju is a pretty legit martial arts.
Larsen Halleck and oddly enough right after the movie came out, there were ashida kim like wannabes that started offering that training.
And if any of them had been able to demonstrate how to walk down from the top of a building on the water stream from a fire hose, I'd have totally signed up. (There was a short lived Remo tv series where he did that. T'was mo' better than just running on flat water like the movie. Also fuck I'm old lol)
kevin kling that was a goos movie
I was under the impression that Kim stole his material from Count Dante, a legit martial artist who took the crazy train to kung-foolery, shilling his 'Deadliest Man in the World' crap in the back of comic books.
I read all his books. Now I'm the greatest ninja and lover that ever lived. Challenge me if you dare!
He is a fine martial artist he is a grandmaster what are your credentials in martial combat to question him?
The guy that is narrating we need to expose these fake people keep up the good work
breaks that dudes neck at least 4 times then crushes his head with a palm heel. AMAZE!
But to break a guys shoulder by using magical swordfish hand to the middle of the tricep is nek' level! RESPECT BRO ... RESPECT.
OHhh man... I'm so glad I can't find my ninjitsu book I bought when I was 15.... Good thing I was training in Muay Thai and BJJ at XFC at the time or else I would've been duped.
I'm reminded of a line from the show Justified, when the main character Raylan is talking to a boxer and the boxer threatens to knock his teeth out: "Oh you gonna bop and weave out of the path of a bullet? Cause that I'd like to see." I always wanted to see that and well hells bells here it is!
The truth is that there are many people, mostly teenagers, who WISH they were ninjas. So there appears somebody who sells them this dream. "Hey, I am ninja. I can make you a ninja." Just like astrology and future tellers, and other scams. People will believe any of their nonsense, because they have *already* chosen to do so.
According to Master Ashida, clearly Count Dante was not the deadliest man who ever lived. It was Ultimate Grand Master Moe Howard.
That’s not what bullets sound like when they’re coming your way.
The yellow dot in the background is the most important aspect of his Dojo...
Your commentary is perfect. Kim is comical.
The dude is a legendary joke. He showed up at a legitimate ninjutsu event and was invited to leave and not come back. The man is an insult to any real practitioner
Lol, "legitimate" ninja event
Yes legitimate. Go find a bujinkan dojo their the real deal
Ahh, yes the Bujinkan, the super secret scrolls ninja dojo a B rate actor made up to separate dumb westerners from their money.
How much for my 15th Dan dragon black belt?
Troll
@@craigcarroll1790 I don't believe he ever showed up to any Bujinkan event. If this really happened, which event and what year ? What was the name of the instructors that were present ?
this guy needs a blanket party
He threw two pounds of anthrax into that guard's face:)
We still have Larsen's videos. RIP ThePinkMan
when Ashida Kim made this, how the hell did they watch that hoolahoop bit and think that was a good idea to leave in? Mr. Shita Kim! we need a reaction video.
7:18 he’s walking like he’s about to say “I’m hunting wabbits.”
Man come on, I doubted the levitation first but didn't you see the hula hoop? And sure he never actually went through it but obviously that was just because it was more convenient for the guy holding the hoop, he didn't want to walk around that much and get winded. It's pretty clear mr Kim can indeed fly.
Great video! keep up the good work.
Ive trained with what he taught and its saved my ass more than once without even thinkin about it, like second nature. Every bit of it is all handed down
🤣🤣😂🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
The hand over the fist also stands for the sun and moon.
this is fucking awesome, and i hope i can be this full of shit when im old and decrepid
Wow I didn't know that when I practice basic sleight of hand techniques (yes I'm a magic nerd get over it) I was actually mastering the mystic martial arts. How many times do I have to pull a rabbit out of a hat to earn my black belt?
LMAO we're just gonna ignore that bullets break the sound barrier. So if you hear it, its already hit you lol
Ashida Kim vs. Joe Rogan (fight synopsis):
Round 1: FIGHT!
Joe walks right over to Ashida and starts with a flurry of blindingly fast punches and kicks to the solar plexus, legs, face, etc. It is infinitely more than Ashida has ever had to deal with, in terms of power, speed, and complexity. He is knocked out (TKO) within a few seconds of the first round. Joe shrugs his shoulders, grinning broadly, as he waltzes back to his corner, yawning.
…And that was Joe taking it easy on Radford.
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣😂😂🤣😂😂🤣😄😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣😂😂
Dude, he's not dodging bullets, he's making them NOT THERE!!!
Why is this other dude just standing and waiting for ashida to beat him???
Ashida was the coolest kid on the short yellow bus riding to that "Special School".....
I love you man ur awesome make videos forever!!!
Thanks, I sure plan on doing so. Please subscribe!
