The grown man who thinks he is a ninja

[@joebauers3746]

I was a follower of this man as an 11 year old boy. A friend of mine two years older than me had several of his books along with all kinds of insane ninja weapons that children our age should not have been in possession of... But it was 1983 and even in California you could order just about anything from martial arts magazines at the time. We trained, in full ninja outfits. We snuck around the neighborhood at night. We learned which houses had dogs and which did not. We hid from police spotlights behind small trees and in bushes... We were never caught. Truly invisible... Ahh, good times, thankfully we never got shot by a concerned homeowner... lol

As a teenager who was bullied, I came across his website when I found a random Wikipedia article about him. Wanting to defend myself, I downloaded some of his books from Ares since I couldn’t find them in bookstores in Mexico. I was fascinated by all those ninja tricks. Luckily I got more mature with time, but he gave some inspiration to start martial arts training which I still do after 18 years. It was funny to find him here 😂

[@deltaonze7692]

What’s hilarious is that wrestling has been in schools for years and was overlooked as an actual effective martial art.

When I was barely a teenager, I happened upon one of this man's books, I believe it was "Secrets of the ninja". I must admit, I was very naive, but I wanted to believe soo much, that what I read was the truth. I finally saw this man for what he really was, when an actual ninjutsu school opened up, in my home town, and I pestered my parents to enroll me in the classes ( but that's another story). During my orientation period, I had mentioned that I owned and read books by Ashida Kim, and the look on my sensei's face said it all. Luckily my sensei was (still is) a kind, understanding and honorable man. He taught me to never follow anything blindly, and to question everything, even him, until the truth is found. And that there was nothing more dangerous, than a man who believes his own lies.

[@chessiny7882]

You gotta tell us what you learned in that real ninjutsu school and how come someone would want to open one

@@chessiny7882 You'll usually find they teach Japanese taijutsu, jujutsu techniques and alot of whats known to most as kobudo (ancient japanese weapons, though "kobudo" actually means ancient way of war or ancient ways, and is used as an umbrella term for any style, school or art that still follows the ancient practices). Basically unless you're in japan learning from the last known koga ryu grandmaster, you're getting a reconstruction of ninjutsu, authentic techniques, but a reconstruction nonetheless. Some do however teach the Buddhist meditations/seals that shinobi used, that's the hand signs you often see associated with ninja, those are legit, but are tied to Buddhism, or specifically Shinto-Buddhism

We had dreams of becoming ninjas....or mercenaries... All of us had the requisite Rambo knife (with the compass in the handle) and a variety of useless ninja weapons like throwing stars and nunchucks.

At 13 tears old we bought our throwing stars Bali song knives and of course the Ninja split tow shoes and cleats for climbing. I'm just going to say this about the art of invisibility. To this day 40 years later I'm still sneaking up on people in wide open spaces in broad daylight. Oh, you scared me, when did you get here, damn you're stealthy, etc. I'm constantly "sneaking up on people". At 15 I was actually referred to as that ninja guy. My best friend and I had a group of guys after us in High School and whenever they'd get him cornered I'd pop up out of nowhere. A couple times of this and that's what they called me, and left us alone. There was also the time I "played dead" another technique learned and the nurse for my H.S. physical could not get my pulse or blood pressure. Something my mother did not appreciate or think was as funny as I did. You can also pass a lie detector with that same technique. There is a little truth in all bullshit.

Haha, I just remembered the trick to stop your pulse

[@ErrorlVlacro]

@@ruledtrendy5066 what is it

[@ruledtrendy5066]

@@ErrorlVlacro it's a super duper secret ninja trick where someone takes your pulse and you slow and eventually stop your pulse. I'm doing courses for it for $50,000. I have to charge so much because I need to hide from the ninjas

He trained at the same dojo as Steven Seagal. Apparently they grew up as buddies, but Seagal grew jealous of Ashida's bond with their sensei and killed the old man. Now Ashida and Seagal are sworn enemies and have vowed never to appear in the same film together. Or befriend the same foreign dictators.

Where'd he go? He's so fast. If you blink you can probably still see him, but if you took a short nap you'd definitely miss him.

[@subgrappling805]

Hey buddy, I’ve just found and subbed to your channel. This is fantastic stuff…I honestly can’t tell you how excited I am to have so much to catch up on. The research is fantastic and well presented. I’ve seen a handful of Ashida Kim documentaries, but this has quite a bit of footage I’ve never seen before…thank you for your efforts in putting this together. Well done indeed, sir.

[@interestingstufffromaround8014]

Thanks and welcome to the channel 😁

[@raijuko]

If anyone is interested in REAL ninja stuff, there is a interview with the last living ninja in Japan, I believe it's from the channel Asian boss. Either way, look it up, ninja tech was nothing like Ashida thinks. They rarely even carried any weapons at all. They avoided combat by all means, they were purely espionage

[@cocksure8430]

Are you suggesting that Ashida Kim isnt really a Ninja, and his teachings arent authentic Ninjitsu?? Is that what youre suggesting..............

[@oni_goroshi]

There's no such thing as the last living ninja in Japan. There are still schools like Masaaki Hatsumi's Bujinkan that train in authentic ninpo taijutsu and ninjutsu.

[@ItsNotaTuhmah]

@@oni_goroshi That school has a pretty shady origin. Their "sacred texts" seem to be bogus. The guy Raijuko is talking is not a grandmaster or anything, but he's pretty honest about his induction on his craft and he has proven to know a lot about, so much that he curates an actual museum. Also, he neither created a multimillonaire franchise to fool people believing they can be ninjas in XXI century.

[@Burn_pits]

Apparently you haven’t met mall ninjas or other mentally ill people. My brother had schizophrenia and he was super into chi ninja stuff as well as impractical knives from the mall sword and knife shop

[@JayNohh]

It's a shame he went down the path he did. He seemed like he could still do stuff physically (at least if he practiced enough), and overall having potential.

[@zacharyfindlay-maddox171]

I had this guys book as a kid, Ninja mania was in full swing (late 80's early 90's).

[@Executioner666xx]

HAAHAA see him dodging bullets 9 minutes into the video , you can tell it's real as you can clearly see the set moving behind him after each shot and that convincing bullet catch was EPIC.

[@vortex_1336]

Not going to lie. The story about him giving the ninja protection poster to the traumatized kids is kind of wholesome.

Who in their right mind would be scammed by this? The better question is... where do I sign up?

Reminds me of Rex from Rex Kwon Do. Just waiting for him to start a speech about how “you think anybody thinks i'm a failure because i go home to starla at night”

[@fonesrphunny7242]

I know exactly who would buy these books. I used to know a VERY friendly guy, but he had a difficult childhood and was genuinely a bit stupid. After years of substance abuse (and lack of care from authorities), he began connecting dots that weren't even in the same book. He had heard "humans only use a tiny fraction of their brains" and "MA can unleash powers hidden within you", so of course he connected the two. He did attend an actual MA course, but had no money to continue. However, he "felt the energy" after his regular warm up practices (carry your groceries to the 4th floor and you feel the same energy), so he decided to go online to learn all the truths about MA. Oh boy. Eventually he learned how to read other people's minds. No kidding. One time he tried to read a woman's mind, but she just looked at him funny, said "I can do that too" and apparently blocked his attempt. He was 100% convinced of his new found powers at this point. Well, in reality he was just staring at people with a very stupid/aggressive face. The woman clearly meant "I can look at you funny too", *not* "I can read your mind and block you." I carefully brought this up, but he knew better. After many years of friendship, followed by years of tolerance, that's when I cut all connections. He's probably still chasing miracles by following some fake gurus.

How the hell would one even train to dodge bullets? It's not like you'd immediately master it, like any other martial arts techniques. My Spidey sense detects deception...😅

[@nichhodge8503]

If Ashida Kim was in Chicago in 1968 I wonder if he met the world’s deadliest hairdresser Count Dante?
