An actual quote from “The Amorous Adventures of Ashida Kim”, p.1…
“Since I had eaten on the plane a peculiar meat patty shaped like chicken but tasting like fish owing to the fish meal fed to south african chickens but tasty, we went straight on to work.”
[QUOTE=W. Rabbit;2856790]I have a whole range of his works, including the entire book on the Kata Dante, and his Harlequin adventure/romance novels including the “Amorous Adventures of Ashida Kim”.
How can I be of service?
[/QUOTE]
I was really just curious if anybody on this site had ever bothered to read any of his work.
What are your personal thoughts? Legit or Bullshit?
I think Kim and Stephen Hayes should have a ninja death match.

Still a better love story than Twilight.
Starting to feel like I’m just being stonewalled here… Hello? Mods?
[QUOTE=Ferret0407;2856775]I’ve read the article. I fail to see how it proves him to be a fraud. His bluff got called, sure… but it doesn’t prove anything.[/QUOTE]

Nope, the mods don’t wait around to approve shitty posts like yours.
Ferret why don’t you explain where you are going with this. Why not offer YOUR opinion on Ashida and then see what others think accordingly. Your OP was vague and tbh if you had read what was available about Kim you would get a fairly accurate idea on the general consensus here on BS anyway.

Spare me the bland, generic insults. If you’re not capable of a reasoned discussion I have no interest in you.

Lol, Trollshido thread

We’re mods not fucking babysitters. Remember Copernicus the world doesn’t revolve around you. I’m ready to move this into YMAS instead of Trollshido.
For the record yes I’ve read his crap. Nice fantasy novels and bullshit moves. Now can you move on?
This thread was closed. I assume that was an error due to the damn “Close Thread” button being so close to the “Reply” button for the staff, and also since we almost never close threads here.
I opened the thread.
Ferret0407, a former professional fighter just told you that he had read Ashida Kim’s books and found them less than worthwhile.
I hope that answers your question. Mr. Kim has never provided any credible sources that support his claim of “ninja” training. While that alone is pretty fishy, the fact that he refused to meet Pandinha for the $10,000 challenge match that he had been offering up for years, sealed the deal for members here.
Yeah, you used to be able to download Secrets of the Ninja as a free PDF from Kim’s site, because he was butthurt over something with its actual publisher, so he figured giving it away would undermine them. So, being a dumb teenager at the time, I downloaded it and read it. As a dumb teenager, I thought it was really poorly written and full of really silly stuff.
I also got an original copy of World’s Deadliest Fighting Secrets by Count Dante. My dad’s surfer buddy had it in a stack of old magazines and gave it to me. Its also really bad.
If anyone sends me one of these books I wipp give it The Shadowboxer treatment.
Read bits and pieces.
His poor grammar and obviously child like fantasy life turned me off to the work. Seriously, there is no excuse for a grown man to be writting at a fourth grade level. Really not worth your time, money or consideration.
You think he’s a spy? I got news for you pal. Spys have to write reports. At the level of a two year college graduate (the educational requrement for joining an intelligence service). Davis writes at a grammar school level.
Kim can’t hold down a job, support himself or even produce and actual bound book. The ones I’ve seen were xeroxed coppies bound with staples.
He’s selling snake oil. Period.
Anyone who can find a clitoris has more real world fighting experience than Ashida kim.
End of fucking story.

Yup, must of closed it when I Trollshido’d it. Thanks.
I did.
I loved it.
Back when I was a teenager in the 80’s. The ninja craze was on and nobody knew any better.

The Kata Dante contains a set of ancient techniques only taught to the most loyal disciples by this man, the late Count Dante himself. That is the unmistakable icy stare of a Ninja.
Many years later we would come to know he led an entire army of Ninjas known as the “Black Dragons”. Would you want to mess with this crowd especially the 2nd girl from the right? She looks menacing.
Here is Ashida Kim displaying the Kata on live TV! Proving himself. Now I’m no kung fu expert but that looks like the famous “Rejuvenation of the Fulfilled Crane”.
This is somebody in a balaclava showing the real ancient “Monkey Steals the Peach” technique, nothing like the other “Monkey Steals the Peach” in southern Shaolin kung fu that merely attacks the elbow. This attacks his legacy.
Here is the EXACT kata. Clearly these are simple, graceful, yet deadly maneuvers. There is even a “finishing move”, I’ve highlighted it below.
Step forward.
Block the attacker’s striking arm.
Simultaneously throw a palm heel strike to the chin.
Rake down across the enemy’s eyes.
Throw a tiger claw strike to the cheek.
Throw the opposite tiger claw strike to the ear.
Perform an arm block and execute a throat strike.
Use a claw strike to rip the groin.
Drive an elbow into the face or the solar plexus.
Throw a knee strike upward while driving an elbow into the back of your enemy’s head.
Throw the enemy on the ground.
Break his elbow while delivering a hammer-fist to his spine or neck.
Stomp on him with both feet.
Grab his head and smash it down onto the ground or floor.
Roll him over and double-stomp him again.
Rip the mouth and lips open with a cross-tear.
Grab the ears and any remaining flesh and, with a reverse and inward cross-tear, rip toward yourself.
Drop your knee on his head to crush it with all your weight.
Cross-step off the opponent’s broken, mangled body.
Of course…THIS was the 80’s. LOL!
Fuck Ashida Kim and All his supporters.
Enough said.
He would be fun to snap.

To truly show your 80’s ninja cred, you were supposed to wear the headband on the battlefield signifying your membership. Nowadays I hear the Booj gives out an actual membership card.
