I’m quite sure why you guys all hate this guy so much. Remember, he was taught by Count Dante who was the hairdresser for the Playboy bunnies!
Think about that…
Anyway. Last time I looked at his website, and this was a few years ago, he had this whole “Ten thousand dollar challenge.”
Which was you pay him ten grand, plus half the door takings and BAM. He’ll throwdown. And bring you the fire and darkness or something. Or maybe it was the death pain terror…anyway. I don’t remember and I don’t care.
Point being, some of you guys must be rich. Heck, with all the advertising over this “No BS Martial Arts Website OK!” The site owners probably have a bit of bread.
Get together Ten K. Organise an event. And then see if you can kick his arse. Go hard. Do it. Stop bagging him out over the internerd and punch on with him.
He wants it. You want it. It’s only ten k.
Then again…maybe you really DO fear the power of the black dragon fighting society…
He’s had several takers on the ten k. He won’t appear and fight. He also “hides” behind the ten k, treating it not as a guarantee, but as a shield: Nah nah nah if you don’t have ten grand I don’t show you shit. Read the “Ashida kim, the punking of” thread and the “It looked like Ashida got puked AGAIN” threads.
It’s because there isn’t shit to show. 10 grand is not a fee you pay to guarantee a fighter in his late fifties with a 0-0-0 record who won’t even show you a demo tape.
The rules of the 10k challenge are also outdated.
BUT - if I ever had 10 grand burning a hole in my pocket, I might give it a shot.
I’d donate about $100 to see this happen. Maybe more if we can piss him off enough. Hell it doesn’t even have to be him, his best student would suffice.
He’s in his late fifties eh? Then maybe you guys should leave the poor old guy alone. Personally, I don’t think there’s a lot to be gained by picking on a poor old man who may or may not have been in the Vietnam war. You guys are bullies.
Still. I’d like to see some info on those who offered the ten K fight challenge. That would be good television.
Yeah? I would. I know some guys who are over sixty who could totally kick my arse, but I don’t think Ashida Kim is one of them.
I say, leave the old guy be.
Reminds me of what happened about a month back, there were these junkies hassling out this older junky, and I said “Man. He’s old enough to be your dad.”
You know what, dude? If you have something to say about AK and bullshido, say it fucking plain.
In the words of the cowboys, use both barrels and air out your lungs.
AK is a martial arts fraud with a challenge posted on his webiste he has no intention of living up to. He writes about and teaches a style of martial art he has no real knowledge of. That’s bullshit, and he doesn’t get off the hook because he’s OLD.
If he doesn’t want takers, he should take down the fucking challenge.
I, personally, take the way you show up here and ask, “Why don’t you just take him up on the challenge” and then responding to an answer of "we did - he wouldn’t fight’ with “Well, you should leave him alone then” as kind of evidence you’re just here to “reason” with us on his behalf.
Ashida Kim is a fraud. If he was a writer on any other subject lying and exaggerating to the degree he does with ninjitsu, he might well be charged with a crime, but he was cunning enough to choose a field for his BS where part of “the code” is “Oh, just let them do their thing . . . they aren’t hurting anybody…except the people that buy garbage from them…and they people that try to use what they teach…and the people that believe in things that are’t true because of them…”
And I don’t give a tinker’s damn about junkies beating each other up.
Also, before you bring it up, his thing where “He posted the challenge because he doesn’t really want to fight?”
That line of reasoning is 64 kinds of lame.
The challenge isn’t sad and begrudging. It’s not, “So you want to fight me? Well, I do not want to fight you - but here are my terms if you will not be deflected.” It is a crowing, bragging, auto-fellative invitiation to all comers - provided they can pay the fee of a “professional fighter” ( which Ashida, having had no pro debut, certainly isn’t).
He directs people to the challenge when questioned about his martial arts AT ALL. When you say to AK, “I don’t know if that would work” his response is TAKE MY TEN K CHALLENGE AND FIND OUT SO FAR NO TAKERS OLOL"
You shouldn’t make an offer you don’t mean, period.
Of course, that the whole idea, if anyone pins him in a corner on it, he takes a dive and pockets the money. That’s why it will NEVER get off the ground - he won’t modify the challenge to anything resembling a fair financial arrangement…but he calls himself a “pro”
Samurai Jack…in the space of about 5 minutes I’ve read 3 posts with your “wealth” of insight. Either you are fucking stupid or a troll. Please read the newb faqs and stop being a douchebag…this would be easily accomplished if you don’t post for about a month and spend that time reading.

PS: You aren’t getting the “Welcome to Bullshido” welcome because at the rate you are going I suspect your posting quality will equal that of a kid named Rome.
Why not wait for him to be alone and give him an old fashion curb stomping for free? (one on one of corse)If someone decides to do this, rob him and steel his shoes(i will buy an offical ashida nike!)
I’m a ninja with a seventy-nine degree blackbelt in udon sect of soba ryu. I’m offering to let you guys pay me one-hundred thousand dollars to beat the shit out of me. I accept all challanges.
Hey Phrost, this thread isn’t stupid, you the stupid lol!
No seriously though, I didn’t know that anyone had put up the money. I think it’s ace that someone did and he didn’t take it up. My point was that I’ve read his website, I’ve emailed him and it’s pretty damn hella funny.
You guys actually think Ashida Kim is important? I don’t. I think it’s good comedy. As the guy is now fifty or whatever, I don’t quite see how he’s a threat to anyone.
The guy is old, probably fat, probably can’t fight, and is definitely not the full quid.
Maybe you guys get your kicks out of picking on sad, out of shape, completely insane old men.
