Thank you all for watching! I hope no one was killed by Ashida Kim for watching this. This video is a humble tribute to ThePinkMan who used to make great fake martial arts videos but deleted his channel a few years ago. Just to point out, at one point i say "Frank Shamrock" instead of "Ken Shamrock" when discussing UFC 1. These kind of mistakes suck but unfortunately this was a real tough script to write, much harder than the others just because of the sheer amount of research it takes doing a video on 4 different people, and as such i let a screw up like that slip by, just out of sheer mental burnout
I think your documentaries are great, and it's borderline criminal that you don't have 100x the followers you currently have....really look forward to your next
Brother you could have a dozen more and it wouldn't bother me. I cant even imagine the time it takes to make these and you've been consistently putting out classics with no breaks in between. Your work is appreciated brother.
Dude why do you keep on shtin on Dennis Seiver? The man is a respectable fighter! before Connor wooped him he was considered a good Journyman fighter! Not a bum! He even beat BJ Penn before retiring! Sure he comes short when fighting top contenders but Have respect brother. I would think twice before fighting that man in the streets! ps.Love your work!
Charlie's a street fighter. He's what i call a free swinger. They just swing hooks from right to left. It's all they do, it's all they have. A decent jab and he's owned.
When I was a kid in the 70's, one of my friends who actually did study Kung Fu, had the dim mak book, the techniques in the book were so hysterical, that me and my brother created our own dim mak book to give him, with techniques like "flying shit eagle", where if you touched someone in the right spot, the explosive diarrhea that followed would propel them into the air.
U forgot Ku'ki'do, it's a deadly form of martial art where u use many ingredients to create a tasty circular treat that when ingested in large quantities, will clog arteries and kill ur opponent without even touching them.
Best commentary ever. I'm old enough to remember when those types of restraining orders, were expected from a father or a brother. As well as unofficially recognized as a legitimate action under 'common law'. Which meant you weren't likely to be arrested for beating the crap out of a creep.
Ok but hear me out. Instead of putting up a sceptic against a no-touch master, have two no-touch masters face off. It will literally be a battle of the egos.
"All of this made me a prime target to be picked on" I keep telling younger people that being into video games and being a nerd were something that used to get you bullied, if not your ass kicked. They tell me I'm full of it. They really don't understand that nerd culture being cool is a very recent thing.
@@thevideosinc My older brother had to hide the fact he played on his commodore 64 from the other guys on the football team, as they would legit have ostracized him had they known. I remember he'd wrap it in a blanket and hide it in the garage whenever friends would come over. Nowadays the same fuckwits who used to tease and bully nerds are addicted to social media and spend thousands of dollars on mobile game cash-vampires. XD
@@thevideosinc TBH it can still get you a bad rap in some circles. Though more if you're the kind of person who lets their pastime consume your life than simply because you read manga and watch anime. Was sort of surreal when my younger sister asked me if I knew what My Hero Academia was since all of the nurses she work with read the manga and watch the anime.
I can believe it. But it does seem like it was sort of on the way out by the mid 90s to early 2000s. Then again I feel like I was sort of lucky that I want to a school that didn't really have a strong clique culture. We had a football team but they kinda sucked and had for years, so there wasn't a ton of prestige to being a jock. And a lot of the other club activities were driven by teachers who had much stronger personalities than the sports department heads which kin Our AV teacher was a real personality and our art teacher was a retired aerospace engineer who went Bob Ross to have something to do.
When I was in primary watching anime made me a pariah - I wasn't even open about it, I just enjoyed the shit - by college half the people around me were bigger fucking weebs than I ever was. KPOP ruined my ability to sympathize with fellow "nihongophiles", it's about then that I realized it was just another form of trend-chasing dogshit and that 80% of the people doing it were chicks with cardboard personalities and a desperate need to differentiate themselves by adopting a no-effort hobby marginally outside the mainstream. I have a low, abiding contempt for anyone that adopts a genre, a hobby, an aesthetic just because it's a socially acceptable replacement for a personality. More so as this has actively shat up the majority of my hobbies.
My favorite Steven Seagal story is that there was once a party at Stallone's house sometime in the 90s. Steven was there and spent the whole night talking shit about Jean Claude Van Damme (who was also at the party). At some point, word came to Van Damme about Steven so he went to confront him and told him in so many words that if he had something to say they could go outside and see who was the better martial artist. At first Steven was all tough and shit, but when it became clear that Van Damme wasn't fooling around, Seagal quickly apologized and left the party 😂
Semi-related - Stallone once came to Seagal to invite him on a little project he was working on - a movie with all the action stars of the 80s and 90s. Seagal declined because he had better things to do. That project? The expendables - which have made nearly a billion dollars over the 3 movies that have been made so far
I prefer the interview where Van Damme praised Seagal for his film presence and what he can do on screen, but that he should probably lose some weight. And when asked why he thinks Seagal doesn’t like him, Van Damme replied simply with “ I don’t know, because I’m good.” Epic burn!
@@Caffeine_Addict_2020 Seagal said no because the Expendables movies are produced by a guy named Avi Lerner, who he claims jerked him around and refused to pay him for a couple of his mid-2000s DTV movies. Seagal apparently hates him so much he refuses to participate in any movie Lerner's involved in.
Ashida Kim was truly a pioneer ahead of his time. He humped the wall, so Jiraya from Naruto could run into bath houses. I’m convinced Ashida Kim’s fanfic is what Kakashi was really reading
"Ashida Kim is a real life ninjitsu Grandmaster. Kim traveled the globe and learned the secret ways of the ninja in that most ancient and revered land of ninja arts - Lake Alfred, Florida" 🤣hahahahaha
@@scottrhoads1500 Yessss that's absolutely perfect. Chael is probably Charlie Z's cornerman/ cameraman. I didn't really watch MMA too much as it was happening so I watched old fights from 2000s and missed all the drama unfortunately. I believe Chael said he never even lost a round. People try defending that by saying he won every round he completed. And the 12 or however many times he lost the fight stopped before the round ended so it doesn't effect his records. That's like saying I've never lost a marathon because I never ran one. I wish Chael and Charlie were joking but I don't think so
@@Dmacxxx77 He definitely has but chael is 100% kidding. He has so many running gags like this that it's hard to keep track. Calling fighters the wrong name deliberately and repeatedly in his videos, for example. Tyson Fury's reality TV star half-brother: Will Fury. Hahahaha.
At the very least, I think Dante can beat up the other "masters" in a street fight. The guy didn't hide behind his persona, he literally sought out physical conflict, even if he is a pathological liar.
TBF its as Ancient as the year 800ad invented by Great Chinese Martial Arts Alchemists and Passed down to the West by Genghis Khan and the Ottomans where it was Perfected as the Deadliest Martial Art of all 😂
Definitely a unique style of running. That was from "Above the Law", which, Seagall's BS notwithstanding, had his best fight scenes: " He put my customers in ORBIT!!". He was thin and reasonably agile then. His later movies had weirdly edited and blurred fight scenes, likely to mask his declining physical condition...very entertaining at the time.
Crazy that the guy calling himself Count Dante and advertising "poison hand" techniques in the back of comic books actually comes off as one of the more legitimate martial artists in the video.
If the story of Count Dante being evicted from USA karate organization for not having a racially segregated Dojo is true, then we can assume he simply dove into paranoia
i just spent 53 minutes at work watching this. even if i do my job at 100% efficiency for the next 6 hours watching this would still be the most productive thing i've done all day.
It’s crazy how many people I know that spent tons of money on college to pretty much waste away in a cubicle playing on CZcams and Facebook. How clueless are your bosses that they don’t monitor your productivity?
I can't believe I live in the same world where someone actually, sincerely, unironically wrote and published an actual book with the words "ninja dick" in it.
So I was at the part in the video where he was talking about Charlie Z stalking Kim Kardashian when i read your comment. I was so confused what anime had to do with a reality star. Then it hit me that you were talking about Ashida.
“This move can kill a man with a slight touch” “and you know this how? Either it’s fake or you just admitted to murder” …this is an actual conversation I had with a guy who claimed to be a master of one of these mythical marital arts
I've had some training in ninjutsu from a friend's uncle (who has been passing down his teachings, as his father did, whole family has done it for generations). I didn't learn much, because, for one, I'm not that good, and two, I'm just some random outsider so they won't show me much anyway (I'd have to move to Japan and dedicate myself to the training, and I'm not doing that). But yeah, I remember getting explained how there were countless people out there who would claim to offer teaching ninjutsu and lethal arts... and the most basic thing to remember is, if they charge money, it's 100% bullshit. lol There is no "death touch". There ARE ways to kill a person, and part of the training is how NOT to accidentally do such. How to be able to hit pressure points to stun or incapacitate without HURTING people. And anyone who'll sell you a $5 guide to murder is full of crap.
@@mikewade1604 Yes, that's true for responsible gun owners. The issue is the other 99% of people who own guns. I mean, one of the key things to start with would be to simply make it illegal to carry a weapon outside of your house. You want a gun to defend your home, fine. You're more likely to be murdered by it by someone who breaks in or to killed in an accident than ever use it to actually defend yourself, but at least that way you're only shooting you or your family. And not random people on the streets. There is ZERO reason for anyone to walk around armed. Having a gun will not stop crime, but it WILL create crime. Either someone taking your gun and shooting you with it (which is common) or you shooting someone you have no right to shoot (which is even more common). So have your arsenal of 10,000 guns. Just keep them at home. Locked up with ammo kept locked up separately. Then if the Republicans end democracy, you can get killed by the government with your huge collection of murder weapons. Try and defend your home with your guns when the tank just drives through it.
The Ashida Kim chapter had me howling in laughter for 8 minutes straight. You, dear sir, have mastered the ninja art of comedy, and you've earned yourself a new subscriber.
I've been to an actual not so hidden ninja village in Japan around Iga Ueno with one of the last true ninja master still alive Based on the museum there, actual ninjas very rarely fight and prefer to run away 90% of their ninja task is gathering information while posing as a farmer or merchant Which is easy since ninjas ARE farmers when not in a mission Pretty neat to learn what actual ninjas were
..yeah I heard they were notorious for selling out to the other side too,, some ninjas are protecting a village, some highwaymen want to ransack The village, bribe the ninjas, they decide to go fishing that day, you know how it goes...
Indeed. Ninjas were far, faaar more often used for basic infiltration and information gathering. They were spies more than assassins. Every now and then it might happen that one was used to poison someone, but it was rare. And when caught, they're not going to start throwing smoke bombs around and kill 20-odd people. They run.
It's just horrifying. The delusion the man went through. With no one to help him. It's truly tragic. Just because of his father he was a danger to people around him and himself. I feel bad for the guy
He suffers from schizophrenia and the people egging on his delusions and profiling him on videos like this are doing so in poor taste. Making fun of people with severe mental illness is disgusting.
Did Judo in my early 20’s. It was EXHAUSTING! First 45 minutes of nothing but bunnyhops, pushups, and falls. Then loading until your legs are jello and then sparring against a classmate that knows as least as much as you and all the while the sensei encouraging you to resist tapping out on chokes till your gagging and crying. Good times.
Dude, If someone want to sucker punch you, you are gonne get sucker punched. There is close to nothing you can do about it, much because you cant stop a punch you dont see it coming. But then again, im from muay thai and if i sucker punch you im gonna put you on the ground. There is no reason to sucker punch someone if you dont end the "fight" right away. (There is no reason to sucker punch someone att all actually). Charlie never did strike with power enoph to put anyone to sleep even with his (terribles) sucker punches. I can only imagine he hit like a 10 years old little girl. If you get the feels of getting hit in the face like a champ you dont have to worry about Charlie. I whould say you need about 2 or 2 and a half monts of muay thai or boxe to put Charlie z in his place.
The best way my Japanese friend explained to me 'ninja' is armed peasants or commoners using guerrilla tactics against the Samuari or ruling elite. Obviously going head on against Samuari probably wasn't wise.
I had trouble explaining this concept to someone not long ago. Okay, ninja were spies, intelligence gatherers, occasional assassins. Now, if you were a spy, would you dress head to toe in black and carry a specific sword? No, you'd want to look like just some random dude. Like you were in the french resistance. Nobody special, no need to look over here. Guy still wouldn't believe me. Can't help everyone.
@@linksbetweendrinks7032 Ninja were Black Ops for the various warlords and samurai of the day. The fact that their exploits became so mythical in nature actually helped them, because the actual ninja could just continue being the disguised farmer or manservant while everyone is paranoid of this magical super-warrior with the power of the local gods and anime-to-be on their sides.
I think Wilder wasnt heavyweight champion at this point. Im honestly surprised how well he took that beating. i would probably have brain damage after getting my ass beat by Wilder.
“So blood curdling and un-sexual I’ll only read several more passages” laughed out loud a bit when I heard that one. Thank you for the vids always a pleasure bruv.
Ashida Kim had a protégé. After years of learning from him, Kim was so impressed he even allowed the student to take on his own name. His student was dubbed: Ashida Pants. You guys probably know him as, Steven Seagal.
Had to look up Dillman since I remember years ago someone mentioning he's somewhat local. Holy shit I drive past his house every day on my way to work. All these years, I never realized I risked getting hit with a stray hadouken.
I'm from South Africa, and my friends and I trained in Ashida Kim's system of "Ninjitsu" in the 90s 😂 The opening kata of your video that Kim does is named after Count Dante (it's called the Kata Dante!). To pass our grading we needed to do that sequence in under 10 seconds. In the late 90s our school joined The Black Dragon Fighting Society, and pretty soon our sensei would bring in bullshido artists from around the world to come over and demonstrate their brutal techniques on his students in seminars. At the time of course, none of us really knew what a bullshido artist was. As Google started taking off, all these masters would later be revealed to be frauds. This video is fantastic. True artistry. Not just superbly narrated, but also so well researched with great editing, song choices, comedic timing. Genius.
I love hearing stories like this! Still cant believe anyone ever legitimately practiced Ashida Kims ninjitsu 😂😂 I'm just glad you never got Dim Mak'd mate.. 🤣
@@NapoleonBlownapartMMA Dodged that Dim Mak, but our sensei mentioned he knew some KUJI KIRI and he'd teach us when we get to black belt 😂 Man it was like a cult and most of us didn't know much about MMA at the time! I still have the pamphlet that hooked us. "The most devastating fighting art known to man!" Ashida Kim was sold as this mysterious figure to us. Ffs we had no idea what he even looked like 🤣 All we were told is that he's the grandmaster of our fighting system (which was supposedly an ancient brand of Ninjutsu from the Koga region of Japan). Every 3 months we'd go to a forest at night for 3 hours to partake in THE STEALTH NIGHT. It was like a Ninjutsu Team Deathmatch with vague rules of engagement and plastic weapons. Keep up the amazing content 🔥 You're a virtuoso
@@mmaswitched5039 Holy shit man you couldnt make that up!! Ninja stealth night!! 😂😂 honestly if i was any good at interviewing i.e. if id ever actually done it before id interview you for a video about this stuff!! That sounds so utterly batshit mental i kinda wish id trained there! Closest i came was a taekwondo gym i was at that was mostly pure bullshido pressure point crap, but im mad we never got to go on stealth night 😂😂😂
In 96 I heard the Gene choking out Segal story from some friends in L.A. who were in the stunt fighting community. Some guy I never heard of named Gene choked out the famous Steven Segal and made Segal crap himself while on set. I had no idea who Gene was at the time so I just ignored the story as made up. A decade later I heard almost the exact same story on a few MMA shows and found out what I heard in 96 was true
Decades earlier before internet the stories were that Richard Gere had a hamster stuck up his ass, that Rod Stewart had a gallon of semen pumped out and a woman, her German Shepherd and peanut butter. Those stories travelled across North America; must be true.
Ohhh my god, so many quotables " A drunk Conner McGregor with an unlimited data plan " The permanent expression of a dog that's just been shown a magic trick"...... Dude you're killing me 🤣🤣🤣 I am officially subscribed!
As somebody who trained aikido for few years as a kid, it's not that bad. It gives good overall fitness basics while being more appealing to kids than some random exercises.
This is why you study Aikijutsu, NOT Aikido. Aikijutsu is not well known and is very difficult to find schools. It isn't commercially viable. My school was the 2 car garage of my Senseis house. it is incredibly violent and difficult to learn. Jujutsu is an off shoot of Aikijutsu which encompasses empty hand, sword, jo, tanto, and grappling/throws. Originally only taught to the royal guard. Bernie Lau, Miguel Ibarra, Don Angier, etc.
51:57 I just want to point out that Xu Xiaodong did not call out no touch masters but rather traditional Chinese martial art masters who grossly over estimated their ability to fight. I don’t think he would even have bothered with any of those no touch frauds; his mission was to critically challenge/re-examine the state of TMA’s in China, which is a more worthwhile pursuit than just exposing obvious frauds.
The poor bastard got persecuted by the Chinese Gov. They took away his social credit score which meant no plane or rail travel for one. The CCP didn't like their Martial Arts goose (that laid golden eggs) being cooked! The Chinese traditional martial arts were first persecuted, then seen as a money making asset.
@@nicerperson1 That's not really what happened. If you are interested in the matter, go watch Ramsey Dewey's video czcams.com/video/QSJsMLwJtIY/video.html from 10:56 onwards when he explains what really happened to Xu Xiaodong.
I would have liked to see Steven Seagal and Norm McDonald star in a movie together. A show where just hang out together for a couple weeks. Norm was use his obvious sarcasm to make fun of Seagal but Seagal is so full of himself he wouldn’t notice.
I lost it at a wild Jeff Monson appearing while Napoleon was reading. I might like watching people get fucked for free, but I'm not so into listening to Ashida Kim telling me about his "totally real" sexual escapades, even for free.
6:24 Bro, I couldn’t stop laughing at how entertaining and funny this was. This is by far one of the best, insightful, and humorous documentary I’ve seen in awhile. Thanks man.
The Charlie Zelenoff part was honestly sad and depressing. Imagine how many people out there that are like him that need help and are a danger to themselves and others except they just don't video document it. Dude needs some serious help.
@@zaneyboiii770 and the worst bit is they're probably people who have never been in a fight before. If he tried it in smaller gyms, the type full of local hard men, he'd get his arse handed to him. He's just a glorified bully, n yeah it's good to see someone turn themselves around, but I don't really see him as the type to put out a public apology to the people he's assaulted over the years
It will always blow my mind how, despite debuting in big movies around the same time, Steven Seagal and Jean-Claude Van Damme took RADICALLY different paths, and now one is well-liked and the other constantly makes himself the target of ridicule.
Van Damme was also notorious for being a massive egotist and a difficult to work with asshole, which is part of the reason why even though he did better than Segal, he still didn't live up to a greater potential.
@@WhatIsMisophonia meh, I know quite some musicians, actors and painters/sculptors. They are share a serious dose of narcissism. I guess you can't be an artist without being a bit of a self-centered asshole.
Count Dante killed me with a single gaze at the beginning of this video, but thankfully Ashida Kim brought me back to life again with his awesome ninja skills
Vladmir Putin the ultimate troll, honouring Steven siegal and putting him on pedastal as if to say “this is the proto-typical american”. Hats off to the guy
I have a good story about martial arts. So I've been practicing kickboxing for about 7 years now, I love everything about it. But I was in a severe depression when I started, and at times I was scared that I would've been judged for all the scars on my wrist. I instead found a group that accepted me for who I was, where I could train without the stress of having to compete in tournaments, don't get me wrong I love sparring, but tournaments are a no go for me. But anyway, throughout the years this group helped me gain my self confidence back and more. And I can't thank them enough for it.
I've been going through the same thing for a long time. Your story might be my goal but my confidence dropped a lot, so I don't even know if I'd try it at this stage. Still, inspiring to hear and makes me believe I can maybe give it a go. Thanks for the story, really cool to know I probably wouldn't be judged and that you can just train and spar. I figured that was the case but confirmation is good too.
Any time somebody tells me that they're afraid to get into Martial Arts because they would have to fight in tournaments, I tell them whomever told them that is a fucking liar.
@@TheTruthDragonNJ09 I guess my fears in particular(not speaking for the OG comment) didn't really stem from being told this, more that my own personal expectations of what I 'should' be doing in that environment(purely from having zero experience of doing any combat sport outside of the karate that every 80s and 90s kid had to do as a kid and like 4 months of capoeira as a teenager because a friend was doing it and I thought doing some flips sounded fun). Like telling yourself that people won't take you seriously if you're just training. I've realised so many times over the years that I'm obviously wrong about this but the feeling persists. It's funny how the mind works sometimes but I think the answer is to just go for it.
All sports I've tried has had a very welcoming culture. Never have I heard anyone say that someone wasn't welcome. If someone behave like an asshole on the other hand they'll get kicked out. I've never seen it happen but I've heard of it.
Charlie Zelenof had been accompanied by his father who was there to bring him out from the brink of deaths when he was about to get lynched. His father was aware of his sons mental issue and instead of putting him in institution to get help he was encouraging his delusions. One needs to be hospitalised other one jailed for negligence.
@@conspiracyscholor7866 that just speaks volumes about the ruined state of United States where lunatics are out at large and no police is there to aprehend them and send them to psychiatric asylum to be watched and medicated.
Imagine a Martial Art Style that is so weak that its effects can be nullified by your opponent simply not believing that it works at all… and its practitioner and inventor even admitting as much 😂
I met Steven Segal while I was tending bar in the late 90's, I introduced myself and said I was a big fan, reached out to shake his hand. He grabbed my hand with both his hand and went overboard to crush my hand. He then said, "Never give your hand to a stranger..." or some bs like that.. The next day my hand was black and blue. The guy is a real pos.
Steven also has a Russian training dummy on his payroll that he hits and takes down so unnecessarily hard just because he can. Charlie learned that trick of counting anything as a win from the Gracies
Dillman: "It didn't work because he's a skeptic." *no, no; that's too crazy* "Also if your tongue is in a specific position or if you alternate flipping your big toes up and down..." *nailed it*
Y'know, if Ashida Kim was approached by an attacker who just opened up their arms and then stood completely still, oh man, would they be looking down the business end of a hissyfit like theyve never seen before... the trashing.. the gnashing... the... amorous adventures? Sacred chamber? What the FUCK?!?
Bruh, he’s trying to figure out what planet he’s on. He’s not worried about something as trivial as his arms. He’s trying to prepare for the alien invasion.
@@danlotroth9231 That slob should NOT ever be around a firearm of any kind, let alone be teaching anyone, especially Law Enforcement. Good grief, he's got a 1911 press check named after him, and all I could think about was "Why???" Can't trust the idiot with anything combat related, hand to hand and especially not a gun.
Ha! Banyan is the most annoying character on Seinfeld. I’ve been working out I’m huge do you want my brand new Armani suit? We can have it for free but you can buy me dinner several times……..
I have known many of these guys from the 70s on. Yes,almost all losers. Tho Dante did have usable skills, he was not near toe fighter he claimed to be,. Not bad at sparring, usually apretty cool person, but huge ego
I watched Kim's video on dodging bullets. He moved four seconds after the shot. So he did dodge it, but the bill Et wes not even aimed at him. The bullet hole was there behind the screen, with a pencil. Carnival side show. I met Seagal years ago. Tense, always looking paranoid, a bevy of beauties surrounding him. He barely looked at me. Not much respect
That part reminds me of that south park episode where the kids were ninjas and Cartman decided to turn invisible, remove his clothes & walk across a stage with a massive audience
Kim then decided to up the stakes and stay invisible forever? As to Steven Seagal: he was só deep uncover at the CIA that even the CIA didn't know about him. Now that's being uncover!
@@CFarnwide it was scaring me and I'm a 6'2", 215. I view someone who gets that delusional like I would a strange dog with no collar on a hike. It's the unpredictability of it all.

Actually Law Enforcement are taught defensive tactics by military instructors. They incorporate a huge ocean of moves. There's no number 1 fighting system. But there are 7 top fighting systems that will kill you. However! You need to know a lot. If you're going to to be a professional fighter, MMA, Boxing, OR Regular Martial Arts. You can use any system in a fight. The more you know the more skilled and educated and wiser you become!
@americaneaglescout1057 you're illiterate? We're talking about the past. If you read my post & the context of this video, you can see this was in the 80's. Resist the urge to comment before reading, think of it as linear: read first THEN comment.
My father (RIP 2014) was an expert boxer, wrestler and OG Jiu-jitsu practitioner since the mid 60s. My dad met Seagal in 1994 in LA at a hotel and told me that Seagal was a fat, sweaty master of Bullsheet that put on acting lessons in the Martial Arts. The old man was not known for delivering fiction when it came to fighting so it was entertaining to hear.
Seems you're doing your father a great service by understanding he was the real deal and not these frauds who claim to have magic like some sort of Tengu.
@@mickylawless1941 you are not him... People are trash talking him but Steven is the real deal.. If you don't believe that you should fight him.. You will loose for sure
@@mule666 I’m curious, do you know him? Have you attended any Aikido conferences that he spoke at or offered up demonstrations? Or is your belief of him based solely on his movies, his interviews and the video clips of students flying in the air as he “fends” them off in demonstrations? I knew him back in 94. He couldn’t fight his way out of a paper bag back then.
That "no touch knockout" guy reminds me of some faith healer/revival guy we had at my church when I was 12. He was doing the "slain in the holy spirit" thing at the end of the service, toughing people's heads and making them fall over. I didn't feel anything the whole service, just thought it was weird/interesting. He asked me if I want him to "prey for me". I was curious, so I said yes. So he put his hand on my head and start to push. I braced myself and pushed back. He pushed harder, as did I. I told him "can you please stop pushing on my head. I don't like that." He said "I wasn't pushing, that was the holy spirit!" "No, it was you, pushing as hard as you can." He walked away, and that was the first time I started doubting that magic and all that stuff was real.
It's a denomination of Christianity called Pentecostalism. My sister was into it about thirty years ago. What the video says at the 51 min mark - it works if you believe that it works, and if you want to be accepted by the rest of the church. My sister quit that in the mid-90s, and never talks about it. I don't think she goes to church at all anymore.
I went to one church that had a supposed healer when he try to "heal" me he try to push me and gat angry when I didn't fall then he try again and I didn't fall so he just ignored me. Then he was asking people for 10% of their check it was weird
@@r5t6y7u8 It's become more spread through certain denominations since then. My dad's family were raised Church of Christ, who are pretty quiet, loving people. My grandparents and oldest uncle stayed within the church. The two youngest sons (which unfortunately includes my dad) went the route of Evangelical denominations. I used to get dragged to their services and hated every minute of it. It was all so very fake. One of the preachers was on the stage going on about how he had been blessed as a faith healer and could translate tongues. Watch him in action a few times. It was honestly astounding to watch these grown adults fall for the obvious cons. On the positive side, just to prove the babbling the pastor was "translating" wasn't actually anything more than nonsense, my sister and I became linguists. We each speak completely different languages and had a ball learning each one. I'm not as fluent nowadays in any of the ones I learned over the years as I want to be but they have always been the highlight of my life.
I had studied martial arts starting at around 17 and now that I am in my late 40's, I have come to the realization that most of the MA teachers I had were basically ego driven cult leaders. I had a few more casual influencing MA friends who wanted to train to improve self defense but most instructors were keeping you going so they get money and act like they are teaching you something. I encountered some Ashida Kim followers before that practice bullshitto nonsese. It's too bad that my experience with MA has been so filled with bs that I just quit and don't plan on dealing with dojo's, dues, paying someone to throw me around, dealing with partners that injure you, dealing with someone trying to lord over me, dominate me and make me feel like I will never be good (so you keep coming) the Japanese people I studied under are not any better with that psychological domination cult junk. dont be fooled. now i just focus on strength training with out weight lifting and I feel great. i have no injuries. i don't have anyone barking at me.
Spot on. I too trained at a few different dojos throughout high school and college, and 90+% of these people are just for-profit grifters trying to get the most tournament points and promote their business. Having also been in a number of actual street fights in my youth, I can safely say that a lot of what they teach will get you killed on the street. There is very little difference in what you will learn at an expensive dojo vs. a course at the city rec center. More importantly, there is no school of "wu-do" that can teach you to stop a bullet. The key to staying alive in a rough area is situational awareness, aka paying attention, not knowing how to disarm a cooperative opponent in 17 different ways.
I've had the opposite experience at the few boxing, BJJ, Kickboxing and MMA gyms I've trained at. Actually sparring or rolling with each other is a great way to build respect and form bonds with people. I've found. Might be worth ago if you've already put 17 years in. I've noticed some Karate, TKD stuff does transition once you start rounding out your toolkit getting comfortable being hit and getting conditioned (you've already started that if you're weight lifting). Judo is legit effective too.
Hey D N, you did too many "uncontact" forms of MA mate. Boxing and BJJ/MMA are very hard to bullshit with...a swift kick to the face has a way of seperating the bull from the shit. Stay injury free and healthy.
Z-Money is lucky that more of those people he tried to attack didn't drop him the second he said that he "won". A lot of those guys looked like they at least had decent fighting abilities (dodging and ducking shots, etc).
As a thirteen year old boy, I was really into Ashida Kim - read his books (not the porn one though lol). Then I studied real martial arts in my teens and realize how nuts his stuff really was.
Your comedy is top notch. You caught me off guard quite a few times in this video with literal laugh out loud moments. My loudest was " Darth Vader appointing Jar Jar " WELL done sir
This is hands down THE best martial arts fraud exposure video of all time! Awesome work, man! This is so relatable. Love the Tenchu references. Fucking brilliant!
I used to be in a bs martial arts school. Super expensive, you had to buy the uniform and every individual patch, including an American flag and could be denied your next belt for not getting it after beginer classes. You had to buy an insane amount of protective gear- but you weren't allowed to hit people?? You had to just gently touch them. They shamed people who wanted to leave and it was super culty with the lessons about perseverance and not being a quite. I also beat a 'black belt' sensei in sparring when I was 12 and an orange belt (4th belt about 8 months of training.) They called it ishanru karate?
Watching Steven Seagal flap and fumble about with that poor woman was like watching two birds do a mating dance on National Geographic where the narrator goes “An unsuccessful attempt, she flies off to find a more suitable mate”
He said that "Diante Wylder filed a restraining order with his fists to keep Charlie's brain 100 feet away from consciousness at all times!" I damn near crapped myself when I heard this! You are a fricken genius! Keep em coming my dude !
I'm not really into MMA or most sports myself, but I just LOVE your videos! They're so well done, and it was this video on Make Believe Martial Arts that first got your channel onto my radar! I love the vids you make of the fakes, and hope that you make more in the future, as it is all quite the rabbit hole to go down!
As a life long fan of professional wrestling, it's something spectacular to see individuals who are much, much more experienced in genuine marital arts sell so beautifully for a guy who can just barely lift his arms over his chest. It's a beautiful thing.
I grew up in the 70s and 80s and let me say, in those days (before UFC), everyone thought that the Eastern martial arts could make you some kind of invincible warrior. Even the mention that you knew Kung Fu, might convince someone to walk away from a fight with you.
Me and a friend of mine were almost in a fight against 4 guys back in 1989 or so. I think his parents were Thai or something like that and he knew as much martial arts as my desk does. Anyway it would have been 2 on 4. My friend took off his shoes and they changed their minds and left us alone. It's really hard to overstate to people who have grown up on MMA, how ridiculous this aura around eastern martial arts was.
I was bullied a lot in school. I told my mom about it and she bought me a school satchel with the then-famous "Kung Fu" Star David Carradine on it. And that was the end of it...
I bought the Ashida Kim book in college, thinking that it was a parody in the vein of “Fistful of Yen” or “They call me Bruce.” Had no idea it was supposed to be real. One of the techniques in it is called “heng pu “
26:06 IIRC, Steven SheGal married Adrienne La Russa in 1984 in California while married to Fujitani. La Russa got an annulment within a year, then Stiffy Shitgull went back to Japan and married LeBrock while still married to Fujitani… so even worse in reality.
A running back at my highschool started learning akido because he hated getting tackled (he hated football, too, but his parents made him play). It worked for him. He learned how to slide people off of him who were trying to tackle him etc and he got tackled a lot less. I don't think what he learned would have helped much in a real fight, but it did help him in football at least at the highschool level.
Aikido is a legit martial art. However it's simply not a terribly effective martial art unless it's used against an untrained fighter, with zero experience in any martial arts disciple. Seagal is a legitimate Akido black belt and a fairly accomplished one at that but if he fought say a legit Judo, Jujitsu or Kung Fu, etc black belt he'd get his ass kicked. Even a good wrestler or boxer could throw him a beating. How do we know this? Simple how many Akido practitioners are ranked in the top 10 in any weight class in the UFC? Answer: None. Capuara same thing. It looks really cool in lesser promotions than the UFC against inferior opponents with minimal skills and little to no experience but you don't see them doing well in the UFC in the top 25 of any weight class.
That tracks with what I've heard from some guys who tried it. It fills a niche, just not a very practical one. It's absolutely useless in a proper fight, not doubt about it. But some of the principles involved can be effective when used in conjunction with other skillsets.
I took aikido when I was like 12. My sensei at the time was a 6th degree black belt. He trained extensively with Steven Segal. He would say over and over again that Segal went out of his way to hurt his training partners.
Thank you all for watching! I hope no one was killed by Ashida Kim for watching this. This video is a humble tribute to ThePinkMan who used to make great fake martial arts videos but deleted his channel a few years ago. Just to point out, at one point i say "Frank Shamrock" instead of "Ken Shamrock" when discussing UFC 1. These kind of mistakes suck but unfortunately this was a real tough script to write, much harder than the others just because of the sheer amount of research it takes doing a video on 4 different people, and as such i let a screw up like that slip by, just out of sheer mental burnout

When I was a kid in the 70's, one of my friends who actually did study Kung Fu, had the dim mak book, the techniques in the book were so hysterical, that me and my brother created our own dim mak book to give him, with techniques like "flying shit eagle", where if you touched someone in the right spot, the explosive diarrhea that followed would propel them into the air.
You have to teach me that move lmao

I'm old enough to remember when those types of restraining orders, were expected from a father or a brother. As well as unofficially recognized as a legitimate action under 'common law'. Which meant you weren't likely to be arrested for beating the crap out of a creep.

I keep telling younger people that being into video games and being a nerd were something that used to get you bullied, if not your ass kicked. They tell me I'm full of it. They really don't understand that nerd culture being cool is a very recent thing.
Watching anime used to get you tore up from boys and girls. Now its its cool to watch it strange world from when i grew up
@@thevideosinc My older brother had to hide the fact he played on his commodore 64 from the other guys on the football team, as they would legit have ostracized him had they known. I remember he'd wrap it in a blanket and hide it in the garage whenever friends would come over.
Nowadays the same fuckwits who used to tease and bully nerds are addicted to social media and spend thousands of dollars on mobile game cash-vampires. XD
@@thevideosinc TBH it can still get you a bad rap in some circles. Though more if you're the kind of person who lets their pastime consume your life than simply because you read manga and watch anime.
Was sort of surreal when my younger sister asked me if I knew what My Hero Academia was since all of the nurses she work with read the manga and watch the anime.
I can believe it. But it does seem like it was sort of on the way out by the mid 90s to early 2000s. Then again I feel like I was sort of lucky that I want to a school that didn't really have a strong clique culture.
We had a football team but they kinda sucked and had for years, so there wasn't a ton of prestige to being a jock. And a lot of the other club activities were driven by teachers who had much stronger personalities than the sports department heads which kin
Our AV teacher was a real personality and our art teacher was a retired aerospace engineer who went Bob Ross to have something to do.
When I was in primary watching anime made me a pariah - I wasn't even open about it, I just enjoyed the shit - by college half the people around me were bigger fucking weebs than I ever was. KPOP ruined my ability to sympathize with fellow "nihongophiles", it's about then that I realized it was just another form of trend-chasing dogshit and that 80% of the people doing it were chicks with cardboard personalities and a desperate need to differentiate themselves by adopting a no-effort hobby marginally outside the mainstream.
I have a low, abiding contempt for anyone that adopts a genre, a hobby, an aesthetic just because it's a socially acceptable replacement for a personality. More so as this has actively shat up the majority of my hobbies.
My favorite Steven Seagal story is that there was once a party at Stallone's house sometime in the 90s. Steven was there and spent the whole night talking shit about Jean Claude Van Damme (who was also at the party).
At some point, word came to Van Damme about Steven so he went to confront him and told him in so many words that if he had something to say they could go outside and see who was the better martial artist.
At first Steven was all tough and shit, but when it became clear that Van Damme wasn't fooling around, Seagal quickly apologized and left the party 😂
Jean Claude Van Damme would do a full split over his corpse lol
Semi-related - Stallone once came to Seagal to invite him on a little project he was working on - a movie with all the action stars of the 80s and 90s. Seagal declined because he had better things to do.
That project? The expendables - which have made nearly a billion dollars over the 3 movies that have been made so far
I prefer the interview where Van Damme praised Seagal for his film presence and what he can do on screen, but that he should probably lose some weight. And when asked why he thinks Seagal doesn’t like him, Van Damme replied simply with “ I don’t know, because I’m good.” Epic burn!
Say what you will about JCVD he at least looked like he was in shape. That's what happens when you choose blow over fried chicken.
@@Caffeine_Addict_2020 Seagal said no because the Expendables movies are produced by a guy named Avi Lerner, who he claims jerked him around and refused to pay him for a couple of his mid-2000s DTV movies. Seagal apparently hates him so much he refuses to participate in any movie Lerner's involved in.
Ashida Kim was truly a pioneer ahead of his time. He humped the wall, so Jiraya from Naruto could run into bath houses. I’m convinced Ashida Kim’s fanfic is what Kakashi was really reading

@@scottrhoads1500 Yessss that's absolutely perfect. Chael is probably Charlie Z's cornerman/ cameraman. I didn't really watch MMA too much as it was happening so I watched old fights from 2000s and missed all the drama unfortunately. I believe Chael said he never even lost a round. People try defending that by saying he won every round he completed. And the 12 or however many times he lost the fight stopped before the round ended so it doesn't effect his records. That's like saying I've never lost a marathon because I never ran one. I wish Chael and Charlie were joking but I don't think so

I respect Dante's hustle, blowing some fuckers up is truly the most deadly of ancient martial arts.
You call throwing dynamite around a martial art?
"Hey as long as it works*
To say he was "utterly nutballs" would be a gross understatement
@@TenguToshi it inspired the Saotome School of Anything Goes Martial Arts from Ranma 1/2!!!
At the very least, I think Dante can beat up the other "masters" in a street fight. The guy didn't hide behind his persona, he literally sought out physical conflict, even if he is a pathological liar.
TBF its as Ancient as the year 800ad invented by Great Chinese Martial Arts Alchemists and Passed down to the West by Genghis Khan and the Ottomans where it was Perfected as the Deadliest Martial Art of all 😂
*One of the hardest thing about taking Segal seriously is watching him run*
Definitely a unique style of running. That was from "Above the Law", which, Seagall's BS notwithstanding, had his best fight scenes: " He put my customers in ORBIT!!". He was thin and reasonably agile then. His later movies had weirdly edited and blurred fight scenes, likely to mask his declining physical condition...very entertaining at the time.
Crazy that the guy calling himself Count Dante and advertising "poison hand" techniques in the back of comic books actually comes off as one of the more legitimate martial artists in the video.
Including Grace and his sham UFC debut.
Lol! Still sore jujitsu has shown your pathetic martial arts to be frauds?
If the story of Count Dante being evicted from USA karate organization for not having a racially segregated Dojo is true, then we can assume he simply dove into paranoia
To be fair, he was an actual martial artist, but he was just insane
It’s not he wasn’t a legitimate martial artist. He was just a fucking nutty con man on top of that.
Ashida Kim is the kind of Ninja to wear a headband with Ninja on it.

“This move can kill a man with a slight touch”
“and you know this how? Either it’s fake or you just admitted to murder”
…this is an actual conversation I had with a guy who claimed to be a master of one of these mythical marital arts
I've had some training in ninjutsu from a friend's uncle (who has been passing down his teachings, as his father did, whole family has done it for generations). I didn't learn much, because, for one, I'm not that good, and two, I'm just some random outsider so they won't show me much anyway (I'd have to move to Japan and dedicate myself to the training, and I'm not doing that).
But yeah, I remember getting explained how there were countless people out there who would claim to offer teaching ninjutsu and lethal arts... and the most basic thing to remember is, if they charge money, it's 100% bullshit. lol
There is no "death touch". There ARE ways to kill a person, and part of the training is how NOT to accidentally do such. How to be able to hit pressure points to stun or incapacitate without HURTING people. And anyone who'll sell you a $5 guide to murder is full of crap.
I can kill somebody with one punch all I need to do is wear brass knuckles and when I hit them make Shure I knock them out over a small body of watta
O can also reach you how to knock out a skinhead when nobody is looking 👍
Though you have a good point, your argument is has a flaw. You know a gun you own is lethal, but you don’t have to kill someone to do it.
@@mikewade1604 Yes, that's true for responsible gun owners. The issue is the other 99% of people who own guns.
I mean, one of the key things to start with would be to simply make it illegal to carry a weapon outside of your house. You want a gun to defend your home, fine. You're more likely to be murdered by it by someone who breaks in or to killed in an accident than ever use it to actually defend yourself, but at least that way you're only shooting you or your family. And not random people on the streets.
There is ZERO reason for anyone to walk around armed. Having a gun will not stop crime, but it WILL create crime. Either someone taking your gun and shooting you with it (which is common) or you shooting someone you have no right to shoot (which is even more common).
So have your arsenal of 10,000 guns. Just keep them at home. Locked up with ammo kept locked up separately. Then if the Republicans end democracy, you can get killed by the government with your huge collection of murder weapons. Try and defend your home with your guns when the tank just drives through it.

I've been to an actual not so hidden ninja village in Japan around Iga Ueno with one of the last true ninja master still alive
Based on the museum there, actual ninjas very rarely fight and prefer to run away
90% of their ninja task is gathering information while posing as a farmer or merchant
Which is easy since ninjas ARE farmers when not in a mission
Pretty neat to learn what actual ninjas were
..yeah I heard they were notorious for selling out to the other side too,, some ninjas are protecting a village, some highwaymen want to ransack The village, bribe the ninjas, they decide to go fishing that day, you know how it goes...
Indeed. Ninjas were far, faaar more often used for basic infiltration and information gathering. They were spies more than assassins. Every now and then it might happen that one was used to poison someone, but it was rare. And when caught, they're not going to start throwing smoke bombs around and kill 20-odd people. They run.
ninjas, james bond, realistic spying just isn’t good enough for fiction so they add outlandish combat

Charlie Zelenoff's silver lining is inspiring me to take up striking so I don't get goofed by a sucker punch from pieces of garbage
Good idea mate, you never know when Zelenoff will come out of nowhere and start a boxing match with you
Dude, If someone want to sucker punch you, you are gonne get sucker punched. There is close to nothing you can do about it, much because you cant stop a punch you dont see it coming.
But then again, im from muay thai and if i sucker punch you im gonna put you on the ground. There is no reason to sucker punch someone if you dont end the "fight" right away. (There is no reason to sucker punch someone att all actually).
Charlie never did strike with power enoph to put anyone to sleep even with his (terribles) sucker punches. I can only imagine he hit like a 10 years old little girl. If you get the feels of getting hit in the face like a champ you dont have to worry about Charlie. I whould say you need about 2 or 2 and a half monts of muay thai or boxe to put Charlie z in his place.
Have you guys watched Dank Net's vids on Zellanoff? Those are really good. Highly recommended. Also his Blaha vids.

The best way my Japanese friend explained to me 'ninja' is armed peasants or commoners using guerrilla tactics against the Samuari or ruling elite. Obviously going head on against Samuari probably wasn't wise.
Their armor and swords were so superior to the peasants. Kinda like wilder vs Charlie Z
I had trouble explaining this concept to someone not long ago.
Okay, ninja were spies, intelligence gatherers, occasional assassins.
Now, if you were a spy, would you dress head to toe in black and carry a specific sword? No, you'd want to look like just some random dude. Like you were in the french resistance. Nobody special, no need to look over here.

@@linksbetweendrinks7032 Ninja were Black Ops for the various warlords and samurai of the day.

Ashida Kim had a protégé. After years of learning from him, Kim was so impressed he even allowed the student to take on his own name. His student was dubbed: Ashida Pants. You guys probably know him as, Steven Seagal.

Holy shit I drive past his house every day on my way to work. All these years, I never realized I risked getting hit with a stray hadouken.
I'm from South Africa, and my friends and I trained in Ashida Kim's system of "Ninjitsu" in the 90s 😂 The opening kata of your video that Kim does is named after Count Dante (it's called the Kata Dante!). To pass our grading we needed to do that sequence in under 10 seconds. In the late 90s our school joined The Black Dragon Fighting Society, and pretty soon our sensei would bring in bullshido artists from around the world to come over and demonstrate their brutal techniques on his students in seminars. At the time of course, none of us really knew what a bullshido artist was. As Google started taking off, all these masters would later be revealed to be frauds. This video is fantastic. True artistry. Not just superbly narrated, but also so well researched with great editing, song choices, comedic timing. Genius.
I love hearing stories like this! Still cant believe anyone ever legitimately practiced Ashida Kims ninjitsu 😂😂 I'm just glad you never got Dim Mak'd mate.. 🤣
@@NapoleonBlownapartMMA Dodged that Dim Mak, but our sensei mentioned he knew some KUJI KIRI and he'd teach us when we get to black belt 😂 Man it was like a cult and most of us didn't know much about MMA at the time!

Ffs we had no idea what he even looked like 🤣 All we were told is that he's the grandmaster of our fighting system (which was supposedly an ancient brand of Ninjutsu from the Koga region of Japan). Every 3 months we'd go to a forest at night for 3 hours to partake in THE STEALTH NIGHT. It was like a Ninjutsu Team Deathmatch with vague rules of engagement and plastic weapons.

This is why you study Aikijutsu, NOT Aikido. Aikijutsu is not well known and is very difficult to find schools. It isn't commercially viable. My school was the 2 car garage of my Senseis house. it is incredibly violent and difficult to learn. Jujutsu is an off shoot of Aikijutsu which encompasses empty hand, sword, jo, tanto, and grappling/throws. Originally only taught to the royal guard. Bernie Lau, Miguel Ibarra, Don Angier, etc.

51:57 I just want to point out that Xu Xiaodong did not call out no touch masters but rather traditional Chinese martial art masters who grossly over estimated their ability to fight. I don’t think he would even have bothered with any of those no touch frauds; his mission was to critically challenge/re-examine the state of TMA’s in China, which is a more worthwhile pursuit than just exposing obvious frauds.
The poor bastard got persecuted by the Chinese Gov. They took away his social credit score which meant no plane or rail travel for one. The CCP didn't like their Martial Arts goose (that laid golden eggs) being cooked! The Chinese traditional martial arts were first persecuted, then seen as a money making asset.

It will always blow my mind how, despite debuting in big movies around the same time, Steven Seagal and Jean-Claude Van Damme took RADICALLY different paths, and now one is well-liked and the other constantly makes himself the target of ridicule.
JCVD was an actual competitive karateka and after his decline in the late 90s/early 2000s he stopped taking himself too seriously.
If I'm not mistaken van Damme had a professional kickboxing record before becoming an actor
Van Damme was also notorious for being a massive egotist and a difficult to work with asshole, which is part of the reason why even though he did better than Segal, he still didn't live up to a greater potential.

I have a good story about martial arts.
So I've been practicing kickboxing for about 7 years now, I love everything about it. But I was in a severe depression when I started, and at times I was scared that I would've been judged for all the scars on my wrist. I instead found a group that accepted me for who I was, where I could train without the stress of having to compete in tournaments, don't get me wrong I love sparring, but tournaments are a no go for me. But anyway, throughout the years this group helped me gain my self confidence back and more. And I can't thank them enough for it.
At least you got experience without stressing yourself out in the end.
I've been going through the same thing for a long time. Your story might be my goal but my confidence dropped a lot, so I don't even know if I'd try it at this stage. Still, inspiring to hear and makes me believe I can maybe give it a go. Thanks for the story, really cool to know I probably wouldn't be judged and that you can just train and spar. I figured that was the case but confirmation is good too.
Any time somebody tells me that they're afraid to get into Martial Arts because they would have to fight in tournaments, I tell them whomever told them that is a fucking liar.
@@TheTruthDragonNJ09 I guess my fears in particular(not speaking for the OG comment) didn't really stem from being told this, more that my own personal expectations of what I 'should' be doing in that environment(purely from having zero experience of doing any combat sport outside of the karate that every 80s and 90s kid had to do as a kid and like 4 months of capoeira as a teenager because a friend was doing it and I thought doing some flips sounded fun).
Like telling yourself that people won't take you seriously if you're just training. I've realised so many times over the years that I'm obviously wrong about this but the feeling persists. It's funny how the mind works sometimes but I think the answer is to just go for it.
All sports I've tried has had a very welcoming culture. Never have I heard anyone say that someone wasn't welcome. If someone behave like an asshole on the other hand they'll get kicked out. I've never seen it happen but I've heard of it.
Charlie Zelenof had been accompanied by his father who was there to bring him out from the brink of deaths when he was about to get lynched.

He grabbed my hand with both his hand and went overboard to crush my hand. He then said, "Never give your hand to a stranger..." or some bs like that.. The next day my hand was black and blue.

I have known many of these guys from the 70s on. Yes,almost all losers. Tho Dante did have usable skills, he was not near toe fighter he claimed to be,. Not bad at sparring, usually apretty cool person, but huge ego
I watched Kim's video on dodging bullets. He moved four seconds after the shot. So he did dodge it, but the bill
Et wes not even aimed at him. The bullet hole was there behind the screen, with a pencil. Carnival side show. I met Seagal years ago. Tense, always looking paranoid, a bevy of beauties surrounding him. He barely looked at me. Not much respect
That part reminds me of that south park episode where the kids were ninjas and Cartman decided to turn invisible, remove his clothes & walk across a stage with a massive audience
Kim then decided to up the stakes and stay invisible forever?
As to Steven Seagal: he was só deep uncover at the CIA that even the CIA didn't know about him. Now that's being uncover!

My favourite quote about Segal, ‘He drains the fun out of every fight scene like a shitty vampire.’
That's a good one -- the other one I like is "With each movie he makes, his gut gets bigger and his audience gets smaller."
That "no touch knockout" guy reminds me of some faith healer/revival guy we had at my church when I was 12. He was doing the "slain in the holy spirit" thing at the end of the service, toughing people's heads and making them fall over. I didn't feel anything the whole service, just thought it was weird/interesting. He asked me if I want him to "prey for me". I was curious, so I said yes. So he put his hand on my head and start to push. I braced myself and pushed back. He pushed harder, as did I. I told him "can you please stop pushing on my head. I don't like that." He said "I wasn't pushing, that was the holy spirit!" "No, it was you, pushing as hard as you can."
He walked away, and that was the first time I started doubting that magic and all that stuff was real.
I bet none of them feel anything but react the way they do because they want to fit in and think everyone else does feel it . It's sad really
This guy was complete moron. He could easily say that this works only if you accept Jesus or something like that.
It's a denomination of Christianity called Pentecostalism. My sister was into it about thirty years ago. What the video says at the 51 min mark - it works if you believe that it works, and if you want to be accepted by the rest of the church.
My sister quit that in the mid-90s, and never talks about it. I don't think she goes to church at all anymore.
I went to one church that had a supposed healer when he try to "heal" me he try to push me and gat angry when I didn't fall then he try again and I didn't fall so he just ignored me. Then he was asking people for 10% of their check it was weird
@@r5t6y7u8 It's become more spread through certain denominations since then. My dad's family were raised Church of Christ, who are pretty quiet, loving people. My grandparents and oldest uncle stayed within the church. The two youngest sons (which unfortunately includes my dad) went the route of Evangelical denominations. I used to get dragged to their services and hated every minute of it. It was all so very fake. One of the preachers was on the stage going on about how he had been blessed as a faith healer and could translate tongues. Watch him in action a few times. It was honestly astounding to watch these grown adults fall for the obvious cons.
On the positive side, just to prove the babbling the pastor was "translating" wasn't actually anything more than nonsense, my sister and I became linguists. We each speak completely different languages and had a ball learning each one. I'm not as fluent nowadays in any of the ones I learned over the years as I want to be but they have always been the highlight of my life.
I had studied martial arts starting at around 17 and now that I am in my late 40's, I have come to the realization that most of the MA teachers I had were basically ego driven cult leaders. I had a few more casual influencing MA friends who wanted to train to improve self defense but most instructors were keeping you going so they get money and act like they are teaching you something.
I encountered some Ashida Kim followers before that practice bullshitto nonsese.
It's too bad that my experience with MA has been so filled with bs that I just quit and don't plan on dealing with dojo's, dues, paying someone to throw me around, dealing with partners that injure you, dealing with someone trying to lord over me, dominate me and make me feel like I will never be good (so you keep coming)
the Japanese people I studied under are not any better with that psychological domination cult junk. dont be fooled.
now i just focus on strength training with out weight lifting and I feel great. i have no injuries. i don't have anyone barking at me.
Spot on. I too trained at a few different dojos throughout high school and college, and 90+% of these people are just for-profit grifters trying to get the most tournament points and promote their business. Having also been in a number of actual street fights in my youth, I can safely say that a lot of what they teach will get you killed on the street.
There is very little difference in what you will learn at an expensive dojo vs. a course at the city rec center. More importantly, there is no school of "wu-do" that can teach you to stop a bullet. The key to staying alive in a rough area is situational awareness, aka paying attention, not knowing how to disarm a cooperative opponent in 17 different ways.
I've had the opposite experience at the few boxing, BJJ, Kickboxing and MMA gyms I've trained at. Actually sparring or rolling with each other is a great way to build respect and form bonds with people. I've found.
Might be worth ago if you've already put 17 years in. I've noticed some Karate, TKD stuff does transition once you start rounding out your toolkit getting comfortable being hit and getting conditioned (you've already started that if you're weight lifting). Judo is legit effective too.
Hey D N, you did too many "uncontact" forms of MA mate. Boxing and BJJ/MMA are very hard to bullshit with...a swift kick to the face has a way of seperating the bull from the shit. Stay injury free and healthy.
Bullshitto lmao.
Very nice good for you to come to that realization and good for you to keep striving.
Z-Money is lucky that more of those people he tried to attack didn't drop him the second he said that he "won".

I used to be in a bs martial arts school. Super expensive, you had to buy the uniform and every individual patch, including an American flag and could be denied your next belt for not getting it after beginer classes. You had to buy an insane amount of protective gear- but you weren't allowed to hit people?? You had to just gently touch them. They shamed people who wanted to leave and it was super culty with the lessons about perseverance and not being a quite. I also beat a 'black belt' sensei in sparring when I was 12 and an orange belt (4th belt about 8 months of training.) They called it ishanru karate?

I love the vids you make of the fakes, and hope that you make more in the future, as it is all quite the rabbit hole to go down!
As a life long fan of professional wrestling, it's something spectacular to see individuals who are much, much more experienced in genuine marital arts sell so beautifully for a guy who can just barely lift his arms over his chest.
It's a beautiful thing.
😂😂😂
Shawn Michaels would even cringe at there selling
I grew up in the 70s and 80s and let me say, in those days (before UFC), everyone thought that the Eastern martial arts could make you some kind of invincible warrior. Even the mention that you knew Kung Fu, might convince someone to walk away from a fight with you.
Have you seen Kung Fu Panda movies? Watching those definitely makes you want to believe kung fu has some magic element to it
100%
Me and a friend of mine were almost in a fight against 4 guys back in 1989 or so. I think his parents were Thai or something like that and he knew as much martial arts as my desk does. Anyway it would have been 2 on 4.
My friend took off his shoes and they changed their minds and left us alone. It's really hard to overstate to people who have grown up on MMA, how ridiculous this aura around eastern martial arts was.
I was bullied a lot in school. I told my mom about it and she bought me a school satchel with the then-famous "Kung Fu" Star David Carradine on it. And that was the end of it...
@@nachtrauch are you taking on any new students ? I would love to practice the ancient ways in which you speak... And possibly get a shirt.
I bought the Ashida Kim book in college, thinking that it was a parody in the vein of “Fistful of Yen” or “They call me Bruce.” Had no idea it was supposed to be real. One of the techniques in it is called “heng pu “
Girl tell me abt it 😭
I couldn’t stop cracking up at 22:47 with Seagal dancing along with crazy arms. Bravo!! 👏
26:06 IIRC, Steven SheGal married Adrienne La Russa in 1984 in California while married to Fujitani. La Russa got an annulment within a year, then Stiffy Shitgull went back to Japan and married LeBrock while still married to Fujitani… so even worse in reality.
A running back at my highschool started learning akido because he hated getting tackled (he hated football, too, but his parents made him play). It worked for him. He learned how to slide people off of him who were trying to tackle him etc and he got tackled a lot less. I don't think what he learned would have helped much in a real fight, but it did help him in football at least at the highschool level.
Well, that reduced the number of concussions he would have gotten.
Aikido is a legit martial art. However it's simply not a terribly effective martial art unless it's used against an untrained fighter, with zero experience in any martial arts disciple. Seagal is a legitimate Akido black belt and a fairly accomplished one at that but if he fought say a legit Judo, Jujitsu or Kung Fu, etc black belt he'd get his ass kicked. Even a good wrestler or boxer could throw him a beating. How do we know this? Simple how many Akido practitioners are ranked in the top 10 in any weight class in the UFC? Answer: None. Capuara same thing. It looks really cool in lesser promotions than the UFC against inferior opponents with minimal skills and little to no experience but you don't see them doing well in the UFC in the top 25 of any weight class.
That tracks with what I've heard from some guys who tried it. It fills a niche, just not a very practical one. It's absolutely useless in a proper fight, not doubt about it. But some of the principles involved can be effective when used in conjunction with other skillsets.
@@gatling216 makes sense. The founder wouldn’t accept students that didn’t already have a black belt in something else.
it sucks that his parents force him to play :/
I took aikido when I was like 12. My sensei at the time was a 6th degree black belt. He trained extensively with Steven Segal. He would say over and over again that Segal went out of his way to hurt his training partners.
If you train halfassedly, you suck. :-)
Aikido it's a pill ? 🤣
@@FFS33 Better than Martix' training! You take a pill and you are a black belt in a few minutes.
That would be cool!
Glen Bell choked him out at the aikido expo. After bragging that no one goo choke him out Glen surprised him and brought him down in seconds.
