Vigilante Ninja Patrols Streets of Yeovil

This is absolutely brilliant. A serious piece but the filmmaker's questions and "The Shadow's" responses are priceless
A self-styled "ninja" is patrolling the streets of Yeovil in a bid to make the town a safer place
Martial arts expert and father-of-two Ken Andre, 33, also known as Shadow, has been monitoring the streets of the Somerset town for the past six years

[@LordTeaOfBiscuits]

" he can frequently be found patrolling areas" well that defeats the object of being a ninja xD

[@blastazoidgaming9144]

>claims to be a ninja >caught by popo to inspect sword >wanders around in plain sight >publicly advertises himself >gains public attention >identity is known >gained attention of entire neighborhood >WALKS AROUND WITH SOME HADOUKEN HANDS

[@probablynottheilluminati335]

sounds like a cosplayer to me. Has he done jack-shit?

[@omegaarms4287]

made my day hhahhhahah

[@paulashton6302]

Blastazoid Gaming hadouken no that's my magic ball

[@h4ndzdown441]

probably not the illuminati even cosplayers have stronger swords than him

[@austin3789]

@Liam Johnson it's also made of foam.

[@charliec7853]

He's doing something he loves. I'm sure most of us dream of doing awesome ass shit like this. This guy got balls to do it,

[@mogadishusneeze]

Obviously a caring guy, did you notice how when he is in a shadowy area he picks up and carries his invisible kitten with him...

[@superfinster]

He seems to be carrying an invisible football everywhere he goes......! :D

[@paulashton6302]

superfinster MY MAGIC BALL SSSSSßSSSS

[@gaming826]

Shadow is the master of stealth that's awesome.

[@ozb2570]

Wont remember me now but i was in your platoon at ATR Lichfield 99. I have a pic of all of us from the dorm.. not me i was fkin taking it!

[@jesickaaddams7199]

Lol Master of Stealth "creeps around on what appears to be a public footpath in broad daylight and then at night just casually jogs across the road xD

[@Ja_Zer]

0:58 if i saw him 'lurking in the shadows' through ninesprings i'd run

[@grahamhume5953]

If you saw him walking towards you down the street at night, you may well think he was going to mug you and would probably 'phone the police on him.

[@KaiiHavoc]

ok nah the first place he was lurking I live near there tf

[@davonrodriguez5417]

Any way to contact him?

[@HarryPartridge]

You were doing just fine until you said "I am a real ninja".

[@voller]

do you live in yeovil ?!

[@kaollakitten]

Please tell me you're from around Somerset! Huge fan of your work! X

[@mauroperez1961]

I need a comic of that guy!!!

[@azurevv7855]

holy shit I hope he still does this I want to meet him I live in yeovil 😂😂

[@JM21085]

when you finish watching all the naruto episodes😂

[@paulashton6302]

Even the sarcasm in the reporters voice is takin piss

[@user-ig9hm6fv7w]

For the bandits : if there is a ninja in your city better don't rob anyone ;3

[@paulashton6302]

It's so cool when it's in America. But when it's Yeovil it's just fucking piss funny.

[@Swaggasaurus90]

Omg yes... Total fucking legend!

[@LordShadrach]

YOU SIR ARE MY HERO!!

[@yootd3m]

Legend

[@SuperRafiki14]

Oh for fuck sake actually done with this town 😂😂😂

[@probablynottheilluminati335]

I've heard a lot about vigilantes from the UK. There's the Bromley Batman, this guy, and a few others. I think that every citizen should strive to keep crime off the streets but if you don't agree with your country's definition of crime than you shouldn't. I'm an American and I think that drugs are ok and the government shouldn't restrict them at all. If i were to do something like this it'd be difficult to just pick and choose which laws and ideas to support.

[@paulashton6302]

probably not the illuminati me myself I call me the beeston beater I hide n beat u run n shit yourself. Bit that's because people are laughing ever tried to run whilst laughing it's not easy THE BEESTON BEATER

[@pollos6631]

Drugs make people do bad things though. Ice makes people very aggresive, and is a cause of many murders.

[@Nickersons-Theme]

In my head I think- ''yeah, I'd love to be a superhero, with a sidekick!'' THEN I also think, at some point, I'm gonna be hiding is a bush, in town, and I'm gonna turn to my sidekick and go- ''I'm kind'a hungry....wanna go get a Mcdonalds or something''

[@LordShadrach]

I WANT TO GO TO JEOVIL TO MEET THIS GUY!!!

[@OskarFFS]

Ha I live there BITCH! :)

[@omeglechatter8235]

Shadowz Gaming i wanna meet hime i live near yeovil

[@OskarFFS]

John Hamer walk around the park or go kids ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@omegaarms4287]

if you want to contact him get bb guns and shoot swans that will get his attention

[@user-yd2zu5tt2o]

Trust me you don't want to go to Yeovil

[@the_mad_ratter]

The Karma Farmer? The Ninesprings Ninja? Anyone heard of him since he got mugged?

[@jakesalter8852]

Never seen him?

[@Alex7741Z]

[@ronald_45]

[@squeakysoliloquy83]

Good for him well done Ninja

[@R1ckyRAMSTINEEE]

[@gsart87]

[@edgydirtbag6144]

[@gsart87]

[@edgydirtbag6144]

Graham f 87 it was just talking about how cringey that emoji is.

[@gsart87]

thederp 101 "it was talking about"? Not sure who "it" is either??

[@gsart87]

thederp 101 you play minecraft I understand now! Goodbye. P.s cringey is not a word!

[@williambryan7954]

Found him on rhgn

[@mayankbhatia3399]

he is real hardcore martai artist

[@GamePrototypes]

Good for him.

[@gideon2871]

moistcr1tikal just watched this on twitch

[@YorrkHD]

Vigilantes are cool... in the fictional world. They might not be as reliable as they are thought to be but the police are there for a reason and that is to protect their country. Any "hero" that interferes with the law has no one to blame but themselves when they end up behind bars for taking on crime when it is the police's responsibility. This guy claims to be a vigilante but he's just an ass running around in a ninja suit with a sword. If you're gonna fight crime, get yourself a badge first.

[@Spendarellaa]

Terrifying

[@Acadia96]

Why does a Ninja need a Walkie Talkie???

[@GinXYZ]

Shadow. Wow. Don't hurt yourself coming up with an original name. You know, it's funny...his website says that he was in the Armed Forces for 11 years. He says he served in an infantry unit and as security. He claims he developed his "skills" through airsoft and "tactical simulations"...which he means he never saw a real armed engagement in his whole time in the army. Another funny thing is that he says he has "23 years experience as a Ninja on the ground". As opposed to what? A ninja in the air? Exactly what lineage of ninjutsu did he study? What are his martial arts qualifications and certifications? If he's 33 now, is he claiming that he began training as a ninja when he was 11? All we have here is another deluded, self-taught "martial artist" that thinks he's something that he's not. One day, he's going to run into a serious criminal element and he's going to get himself royally messed up.

[@Steveb7281]

Dane Ilario I served with him in the army. he isn't self taught that's for sure. i know the BBC have portrayed him as the village idiot but I've seen him throw men twice his size around with minimal effort . I've seen him use a samurai perfectly

[@dgoncalves59]

Stephen Brooks yeah but what ninja training has he had. This man's an insult to the actual art most people have to train abroad for years and I mean years, I know this because I was going to do it. So considering his age he must of been training in Japan at a young age before the army. He may be strong but against a real ninja he would look like a kid. I agree with what the man said first.

[@kelsydenham9167]

Big big facts! Bruh 💯💯💯💯

[@kerblingtime]

@@Steveb7281 *ahem* katana not samurai....as well as how BBC said it was a "Japanese sword" its a katana ;-;

[@devtherevLS]

1:56 - Jurgen Klopp!

[@monkeyma77]

I wonder is he still going today 🤔

[@guffthebir72]

He is in weymouth now. Wish he still lived here, cus he left when i was 4

[@geoffkirk437]

enough net for today

[@bone535]

westcountry ninja

[@hayleypenny1261]

Lmfao.... Where were YOU when one of your colleagues was beating the shit out of me for years on end?? I was his practice target. A jujitsu practice target. Who's still NOW allowed to practice. A convicted three times violent abuser. And yep, I had the joy of experiencing all that he was taught. I nearly died. Cheers

[@BigMoneyWann]

It's called sarcasm, dumbass.

[@blackdog89406]

3 mistakes, he made, 1, Show your face. 2, Show your family. Now, you and your family got a bull's eye on them. 3, give out your name. Very sloppy, Shadow. Very Sloppy.

[@user-zs8ps2df2m]

Да он просто из детства еще не вылез.

[@devonasher2422]

omfg I feel like I've seen him before XD

[@DrSoulsucker]

Psh, you can't catch a ninja.

[@olivershaw100]

All he might find is youths being anti-social and even then the police get reports all the time. He is not a ninja, knowing martial arts does class you as a "ninja". I bet he doesn't know shit in terms of stealth, and faced with a real situation, you can't growl at them. What if there was six thugs? knowing how to take on one isn't going to help against a group. This guy needs to realize he's not Batman.

[@keylornavas2067]

ninjas did not use samurai swords they were to heavy and ninjas need light and fast swords

[@paulashton6302]

keylor navas yeah he knows that he use stick and magic ball

[@Popcorn2501]

yeovil: full of creeps

[@gsart87]

SpiceGirlsForever your names the creepiest thing ever , even more than Yeovil

[@icrazybruffy9844]

[@PETRtip]

[@AxeMurdererx]

All the crime he's caught... He's advertising himself for a beating IMO

[@gsart87]

Sam Denney he's done fuck all! Should spend his time raising his 2 kids.

[@JJ-tg7nw]

маски ему не хватает

[@jerrybootneck1736]

No sign of him when the so called yobs in the park set fire to kids swings and another fire up in the woods setting seating on fire. I've lived in Yeovil for over 20 years ad never seen him so he must be good lol

[@paulashton6302]

Jeff Brown That's because he is stealth he's that stealth even the baddies don't see him at all they just carry on being bad guys

[@yootd3m]

Dude he is a shadow of course there was no sign of him

[@johnhunter783]

loon !

[@taihuu25go]

from　Japanese. There are not the martial arts of the name called "Ninjutsu" in Japan in until the present age from the ancient times. The ninjutu school telling Ninjutu as a martial art is fraud. Therefore Bujinkan is criticized by a Japanese. Everyday Ninjya does not carry Katana on its back. In Japan, Ninjyato exists only as a fiction toy of the children from old days. Of course. The materials of Ninjyato are limited to aluminum and zinc. (and plastic) He is the ninjya costume play yeah that only fiction ninjya knows. The martial arts of this man seem to be Tengujutsu. Tengujutsu which a Japanese images. Tengu moves over trees more than 10 meters by Jump in Geta of 1 tooth.

[@taihuu25go]

***** "It is a martial art in ninjutsu" It is Bujinkan to have spread to the world by the lie. And bujinkan does not deny a fraud school falsifying bujinkan. Bujinkan does not teach a student that a martial art is different from Ninjutsu. Therefore Bujinkan was scolded by the Japanese traditional martial arts association, and, in bujinkan, the enrollment was refused by association registration. ”In any historical materials, ninjutsu is not a martial art"

[@gsart87]

+BujinkanLudwigshafen you told someone they where not speaking proper English, and then you right that fucking shit that looks like it came from your ass

[@teslic100]

wacko

[@deathclutch6666]

secret identity revealed. dumb news

[@asubjectiveopinion]

Seems a bit reactionary to me.

[@backedup39]

Classic mall ninja who has read far too many back issues of Soldier of Fortune and Black Belt magazine and bought into their bullshit.
