Ashida Kim on youtube

[gabbah]

Do people still take him seriously???

What do you mean? I'm flying over there to learn ninja!
After all, they are not a secret organization, they are an organization with secraats!

[Tom Yum]

Anyone want pizza and beer?

[Thai Bri]

Look at those well meaning fools who will pay good money to wave their hands about in the sure knowledge that they will become invincible.

There's one born every minute.

Mind you, it is pretty similar to Wing Chun and Systema if you look at it.

Haw haw haw!

Wing Chun has some working and applicable methodologies and techniques...but only within one range.

Systema is complete shit, I dare say slightly worse than Ashida Kim (doesn't he look like a skinny version of the staple guy in office space?) and slightly better than yellow bamboo.

[WildWest.]

That Ashida Kim clip would rank as one of the biggest loads of bullshit I've seen in the MA's. How old was it??

Oh. I didn't know much about systema... I thought it was the russian version of krav maga or something. But it's shit?
And while I mention krav maga, what do you guys think of that as SD?

[jubaji]

Did he get that everyone was laughing at him?

[gabbah]

Oh... My... God!

oh wow wow wow.... This is just AMAZING, hahahahaha. Pleeeease can't somebody make a looong documentary on him so that we may have some more AWESOME comedy to watch? Please, if there is a God, let it happen!
He's practically producing Monty Pyton comedy on the fly! How does he do that!?
And then those poor fools in his class...
He's creating an ARMY of little Ashida Kim clones!

[DickHardman]

yeah the 2nd clip looked more like a standup comedy routine than a martial arts demo.

[Mr. Miyagi]

You guys are just jealous that you can't make a cigarette disappear the way a real ninja can.
And you're jealous that you weren't born a ninja, therefore you will never become one.

Seriously, I always thought that ninjas tried to beat their opponents through deceitful means...like poisoning, shooting them with an arrow from far when they weren't prepared, stabbing them when they're sleeping, setting fire to houses, and so on. If ninjas still exist, they would be like 'hit men' and we would never hear about them; we only hear about the phonies.
I don't really know, but I wonder what guys like Hatsumi and Hayes have, that makes them real ninjas.

I make about 10-20 cigarettes a day disappear. I'm SO ninja-esque.

[Garland]

Maybe it is lethal.
Is there any such thing as death by embarassment?

That was...uncomfortable to watch.
