Kickass in a Crisis - Demo

Early Chris Crudelli audition tape to Sammo Hung's movie production team.
... not.

[@Crudshifter]

This is just a demo, Kung Fu encapsulates a lot more than you seem to understand. It's not all about reality fighting (nor fantasy fighting, or fighting full stop). Chris is very good at his martial art. I've trained with him and Kung Fu is a big part of my life, so I know.

[@zenofdarkness]

Chris is a no BS guy. I wish there were more people like him in the Martial Arts world.

[@Peekingduck]

There is NO WAY I would run AWAY from 'Montella' she is much to beautiful.

[@jangear]

Thank you... you just said it all outta my mind... he has a car but he decides to walk over to 2 guys with a knife.. this guy must be the best Martial artist in the world to be that confident... lol..live life in the wilde side....and always park in a alleyway...lol Chris...man his good init...

[@Gilmaris]

Mixed martial arts are also arts, to the exact same capacity as traditional martial arts. There is nothing in one that you cannot find in the other, the difference is merely how you train. The end result is the same: good, for people who have chosen the right style for them, and not so good, for people who have not. One's own interests and one's instructor are the key ingredients.

[@LordGohda]

Awsome video. Don't know if a street fight would look quite like that (or with that many flashy moves) but Chris still knows his stuff, and is a great entertainer and martial artist. The most useful tips was that of escaping. Very nice and funny .

[@jundocepares]

Guys its just a demo. Before we learn anything theres always a demo right? Then once you learn then it helps you how to react to different situations out there.

[@loopldee]

Chris has got a new programme called Kick Ass Miracles out at the moment. Its on cable/sky on Channel Dave. Pretty much like the original programe in format but concentrates more on the amazing thing that can be done by those that harness the power of chi and the like.

[@KSHYPE]

no I don't... the guy has a knife, the most effective way, and best compromise between power and distance is a strike to the wrist. That'd allow you to disarm him and potentially break the wrist. Not many people are ambidexterous.

[@Aidsking]

@kungfufreddy I agree, I've done martial arts for 9 years now, but my teachers have always said, if they have a knife, let them cut your arm instead of something important, Which makes sense really.

[@beingme500]

"Yes - that's right, in only two minutes of TV viewing you too can learn how not to give over the keys, but instead safely initiate and take down 3-on-1 attackers all armed with knives(!)"

[@ninja1shinobi]

taijutsu is very effective it does not use fancy kicks though, and it also employs intonjutsu (excape and concelment)for those like young women and children.BUT any martial art is better than none when you need it.

[@ninjasd1]

Ahaa...Now I see where Jason Bourne has learned all his fancy tricks... :D

[@Monkeystalk]

Never get close to knifes if you haven't received special training, it's far too dangerous and in real life it'll be much harder to catch the guys arm, since he'll probably stab at you repeatedly and quickly.

[@Silenc3rZ]

Only people like 007 can stay calm in that situation.

[@DeckDudes]

Chris is a great martial artist and a presenter, but i met him once at a martial arts convention. i bought a copy of crudelli on crime and asked him to sign it after waiting patiently for about 10 minuets, he just completely blanked me. i guess the message is, never meet your heroes.

[@j124life]

true, not only that how many times will you run into a "parepared to fight" situations in real life?

[@j124life]

man.. out of all of Chris's videos, look starting from 1:00, on how long the guy with the knife stalls on Chris.. You don't think that guy would've reacated like 5 second faster, reverse grabbed Chris, and stabbed the shit out of him, or tackled him to the car?

[@DirectorToby]

good , good

[@weredevil616]

All the guys come in one at a time got to love it in real life guys just rush in and will tackle you. Good fights tho looks cool.

[@j124life]

At 0:56 second, you think a guy would show you his knife first before he stabs you? Or at 1:24, a guy would throw a stab at you knowing that you'll counter? His likely to tackle you, or pull on your shit, if he keeps his distance close enough, you'll get repeately stabbed. Lesson of the day-give him the car keys.

[@ichimonji1988]

If it's any consolation mate, I really can't see anyone painstakingly memorizing the routine and trying it.

[@Aidsking]

Buy a gun? God no. THAT'S THE Worse adice you could give someone

[@jangear]

O...yeah man.. just a simple kick and punch when ppl jump you dose the job.. Thanks I will remember that when i get jumped after walking in to an alleyway next.. Yeah man they look so complicated that I needed a book to help me out here to watch this video..

[@DonGwinn]

His prices will come down when some of his students get mugged and get killed trying to apply his ridiculous techniques against a knife. This would be laughable if people weren't going to get hurt or worse.

[@j124life]

the first part might work, but when two guys jumps you with a knife, don't take a chance, "give him the keys". I've practiced martial art for 10 years and I'm confident enough to beat all 3 of these guys, if not all at once, one at a time. But getting stabbed is not worth the car keys.

[@ginabanadab]

haha when he kicks the back he cuts himself open on the other guys knife hahaha

[@bobrobert1987]

hiya people just thought i say a few words. first of i,m not a grand master of any one martial art style i have trained in more than a few and i am a skilled fighter in the fact that if one or more people tryed to rob me i would be able to take them out with out a great deal of worry. 2nd the people who dis the like of chris crudelli r the same people who sit and play tekken for a year then think they can do kung fu. 3rd This is a demo thats why its slow thats why his moves are so deliberit.

[@jangear]

hey your right he is so good that Chris knows everything before it happens... just like this video... if only all the other masters accurately predict every thing in a fight just like as how Chris wants, they will be the best like Chris.. damm them eastern masters why do they have to depend on instinct, reaction and deceptions... when they can just do it like Chris "some one bottles me on the head I just elbow him on the throat" man he knows it all..

[@Vtertdfgwrth5ybdfasgagadfg]

if someone realy wanted to kill u do u think a couple of grannys or someone doing their shopping is gonna help you?

[@TheBigMan843]

he's good in what he does good vid

[@ifirit]

now thats a stunt man

[@Simon0]

It seems to me like a lot of those moves can only be done if you are a good fighter (like the blocks or whatever). I don't think I would be able to do that in the situations. I might just get knifed.. (I am not a fighter)

[@KeyboardBazooka]

i remember last time i was in a bar fight the guy judo chopped me.

[@TheRetroman68]

Cool video

[@joffe88]

"you think a guy would show his knife first before he stabs you?" Off Course!! He is muggin a guy. He shows his knife to scare him into giving him the keys. If you'r a robber, you want the goods, not become a murderer. That's to much heat on you later to. Don't see why you want to diss this guy so badly. he's just trying to help people. and as he says. first rule is to run away. But some times u got to fight. Fuck man! I wouldn't givin my car to some crackpot!

[@Tank1]

no matter how much training you have,, facing someone with a knife in a real situation. relies more on luck than skill...

[@BenMagpie173]

Is it just me but when Chris is trying to escape from those runners he looks a bit like batman?

[@BenMagpie173]

@ShotokanKarateMan1 yh i know im not asking a question, what you talking about?

[@BenMagpie173]

@ShotokanKarateMan Cheers :)

[@Donkyfishy]

Thats fair enough, I haven't found a clip of his ass-kicking at the hands of actors yet but will video respond as soon as I do. I'm not saying you aren't intitled to your opinion, after all I haven't seen Chris in the flesh or trained with him so its aleast theoretically possible that he isnt a deluded wet-blanket. on a side note; he has clearly spent alot of time learning quite alot and isnt completley out of shape, so is probably better than the average joe.

[@pcolmegna]

drunk guy got owned

[@miniplexy]

my moneys on chris

[@Taranho]

Rocker, while I agree with you in that I wouldn't do it and I never have. It is however a VERY martial arts thing to do, various martial arts masters learn to retract their genitals into their stomachs (not literally) to raise them away from a strike to the region. Various Kung Fu styles along with other styles avoid high kicks to not leave the area exposed. Genital strikes are also one of the ideal spots in bladed arts, so iron penis is more like shreded penis ;P

[@Boredoutofmywits]

Next time I deal with three armed thugs, I want them to queue patienly while I thrash them one by one. Chris Would you mind to teach me the technique to convince to do so?

[@j124life]

so fucking true.

[@gwynnbleidd369]

yer i no all that stuff martial arts is great but i was just stating that being chris crudeli he could of done alot more thats martial arts for u dont show everything but i guess he is only showing this to help people in a sticky situation lol

[@Kongkh_010]

Nicee

[@skiie]

ok i love chris but this is preposterous, but it did give some optimism on some aspects.like the running from the chicks. but not to many drunken bar people can karate chop.

[@Peekingduck]

What's wrong with you Chris... those girls are beautiful... why run ?

[@KSHYPE]

man.. watching this again it's so stupid. the lock he used to "knock" the guy out and throw the knife away is.. 1) NOT a lock. 2) NOWHERE near strong enough to knock sum1 out. Chris is such a con

[@mrhaydon]

hahaha search how to be ninja by nigahiga and that is exactly what he does

[@BenMagpie173]

@ShotokanKarateMan what what* ;) awsome saying though

[@LLMelvinL]

hahahah Awesome

[@johntrin]

Are all those flashy kicking moves really necessary in a bar fight? To onlookers it'll look like you started the fight. A simple joint lock will suffice (after all he is drunk so it's easier). No one will know what happened.

[@Donkyfishy]

@clashcityrocker2007 You cant be serious!? Chris is a mess of a fighter, for proof checkout the kick ass moves episode were he gets owned by korean soap stars! assuming watching him in action like this doesnt make this fact obvious already. lol blind baby seals could take him. P.s. I really enjoy the kick ass series, just because I love watching bad kung fu as much as good kung fu.

[@j124life]

im not dissing this guy, just saying how unrealistic his moves are. The first guy tried to mug him with a knife, I said, "just give him the car key", you don't want to get stabbed. But I said "a guy who wants to stab you wouldn't show his knife first". Just finish watching the clip, the two other guy who came up later didn't want to mug him, they tried to stab him, and that's why I said they wouldn't want to show their knife.

[@zampano12]

traditional martial arts are nothing more than what the name implies...arts. mma and all that entails are far more effective in a street fight situation.

[@TheRetroman68]

So in a real fight you wrestle guys to a safe soft floor in your pants while the referee stops it if the other guy breaks the rules ?

[@KSHYPE]

wow... that has to be the most misinformed thing I have ever heard. Martial roughly means the deadly, fighting aspect of any MA. Art means art. Much like dance is an art, so is a martial art.

[@fccctorres]

the running sequence was really lame

[@KSHYPE]

Very entertaining... that's it. Too choreographed, too fake, too ineffective. In my martial art we get taught knife defenses, but honestly I doubt they'd work. Best knfie defense, IMHO, is to extend your reach with a stick and strike the wrist. And even then, I doubt the effectiveness of such a technique

[@ZeCk123456789]

too fake video....
