[@JamesMMcCann]

I've spoken to Chris (via email) and I have to say he is one of the nicest, most down-to-arth people you'll ever meet. He really doesn't act like he's famous, or anything. Kick Ass Moves is the most seen BBC show that was distributed to a World-wide audience, and still he's the humblest guy. I'm forever in his corner 8)

[@sfrko1992]

Had a seminar with this guy in Inverness yesterday and it was absolutely amazing the stuff he can do!!!

[@david102994]

wow the last one was great. the way he moved out of the way of the knife, i doubt most "masters" could do that, respect to crudelli.

[@henh32]

He has a new book coming out. It's a complete encyclopaedia of martial arts. Probably the most comprehensive one written in modern times.

[@dickies1922x]

The thing is tho, he doesnt claim to be the worlds greatest, hes just a martial artist. The very nature of doing TV shows means that whatever you see to some aspect its gunna be set up. Just enjoy his shows for what they are, entertaining about martial arts. I love martial arts been doing it for years i personally like chris, hes just an ordinary bloke showing the lay person about this wonderful art form

[@RedhillTaekwondo]

thankyou very much.

[@tvraiderz]

You have to admit this guy is pretty good. I fought for a few years and became pretty good at it. As long as I was relaxed and thinking, I did pretty well. I had about 5yrs of training from wrestling/boxing, to karate. I wasn't the best, but I could kick some ass. In two of the only real fights I was in, I took out one guy much bigger than me. He couldn't throw a punch, and was salivating to kill me. He hit me once, I got him to the ground and pounded his face in with an elbow and four shots.

[@overkillfl]

Crudelli is a very good martial artist,and you dont always get jump by a true martial artist mainly punks. The fastest draw is when the sword never leaves the scabbard, The strongest way to block, is never to provoke a blow, And the cleanest cut is the one withheld

[@BobBob-oe9uf]

Is that you, David Brent?

[@WhatIAm99]

Chris is the man!! He can break my elbows any day!

[@IZIEIRIOI]

RAINING BLOOOOOOODDDDD!!!!!!

[@mandag34]

I love the takedown he did on the knife guy very effektive

[@Auron710]

i love how hes so normal! not really muscley or skinny but so fast and concise! an awesome master!

[@Hanshido]

Crudelli knows what's coming, yes. But the attacks are made with realistic energy. That makes this demonstration look more real (but it's not). This is for entertainment purposes. The problem is that many people think that real life self-defense works like this. Still, his skills in the martial arts are great. I enjoyed his TV-series.

[@Ultradude604]

I don't think they misuse him here. This IMO is better than breaking boards or prearranged demos. I believe he has legit skills after this display.

[@francescodurante1684]

At least they picked a kickass song! ANGEL OF DEATH!!!!!

[@Itskilo]

I've saw musicals that are less staged than Chris's "fights"

[@bbroegger]

MMA fighter me here...MMA fighter me there....martial arts are designed for DEFENSE against the common man..making sure that you are better than him when he attacks you. its not designed several 100years ago to get ready for MMA fighters. You practise martial art to gain an edge against your opponent...if you size an opponent up to be much better than you...you turn around...and F***ing run. that may seem cowardly..but it keeps you alive..thats the essence of martial arts... staying alive...

[@Kaizen184]

hehe that was fantastic. It all looks pretty genuine too.

[@tvraiderz]

Gotta love MMA. My mom would scream and my bro and I when we'd come home with a black eye and cuts on our arms, faces, and legs. We had a blast training. We trained with just about every discipline you can think of. Now I'm older and out of practice. I'd be scared shitless to go against one of these guys.

[@jundocepares]

hello cris from cebu. your a great martial artist and so as being a person yourself. see ya soon mate.

[@Makzimillian]

crudelli is knows his skit!! i'm in china now training kung-fu and i can tell that u for sure! when training gets waring crudelli's show kick start the motivation!! dope.

[@LordGohda]

That's true. I forgot to mention that but that's very true.Thanks :)

[@tvraiderz]

Fedor is a freak of nature. But in order to be a good fighter, you have to be calm, trained, and ready. Most people fight like crap, but if you're calm and know what you're doing, you'll kick ass like this guy. I agree with your comment. You don't have to be Fedor, but man, that sure helps!

[@axelstone3131]

Some real common thugs on this show

[@1234561234aa]

slaaaayyyyyyeeeeeeeerrr!!!!

[@sagarasouske]

bravo bravo!

[@sweetsweatyfeet]

Back in the early years of MMA (UFC 1 to 15) it was very different; it was about -- what is the most effective martial art - tournament style. High credential traditional MAs of all kinds- karate, kungfu, taekwondo, etc (considered the best in their craft) competed. They got dominated by an assortment of westlers, BJJ, pancrase and ground & pounders. Todays MMA guys are quite a bit better than those days. Traditional martial artists no longer compete because they don't stand a chance.

[@9acmotoko9]

Im gonna meet him soon cuz I do ABC combat system run by him and Im gonna get my first sash! By the way does anybody know what show this is from? :)

[@IZIEIRIOI]

Same here, and apparently Chris Crudelli does too!

[@Englishdosser86]

He didn't actually make contact with the stick. He locked her arm.

[@Simon0]

Angel of DEAAATTHHH!

[@Simon0]

Angle of DEAAAATTTTHH!

[@miniplexy]

haha he's awesome

[@ScarredFatality]

quality wish i seen this live

[@mike12jrw1111113]

I love you for mentioning mugen....

[@aaindahouse]

it isnt a kids tv show its off channel 4 i remember when it came out, no1 watched it really, it wos called "whatever" i think and its where those teenagers organised all the shows from interviews to features and topics etc. everything really to make the show

[@autophobe2e]

look at his expression, man, its totally blank event when he`s fighting now thats what i call zanshin, rock `ard.

[@Maz1989]

lol when he said stand back xD

[@vorpal83]

That's a sorry bunch... straight tackle, telegraphed swing, knife stab instead of slice, classic right haymaker... Course amatuers are the most unpredictable and Crudelli showed a lot of restraint and finesse in his takedowns

[@faelaern]

...And then you discovered grammar. Fedor is a professional fighter. He is a very very good professional fighter. I...don't recall saying anything about ground fighting. I was expressing the sentiment that there are plenty of good fighters who would lose to Fedor because he trains full time and they don't. And it's true. Didn't say he was unbeatable. Didn't even say he couldn't be beaten by people who don't do MMA. Just said he was good.

[@faelaern]

Oh sorry, lol. Showed up in my inbox as your reply.

[@Brianmystic2]

And ALL AROUND HARD BOSTARD!

[@deathbybob]

i think that they tell what each fighter is going to do and let chris deside what move to use just a thought

[@IZIEIRIOI]

I know, I was just doing raining blood for the sake of it. You like Slayer?

[@marlo916]

my fucking hero

[@gmeaki02]

Quality

[@Simon0]

Is Chris Crudelli bringing out a new series?

[@brucelee12]

The poor guy is actually getting proper hits thrown at him

[@PICLex]

man the host is a toool

[@WoooZee]

Nice to see that Ali G could finally afford to make himself black.

[@RightWingCon81]

No hen he took him down at :12 he never gets hooks in, which gives him limited control.

[@lordhumongos]

Kata is exercise and something I do for concentration and breathing, my sparing looks nothing like kata, next time you are in Chicago, look me up. P.S. Judo has kata also, do some research internet tough guy

[@BohemianKitsch]

@MegaMarty1984 well, YOU obviously didn't notice that the aggressors made their moves so obvious that a blind man could have defended against them. there are millions of REAL fights on youtube. if you can show me ANY where the person telegraphed their moves the way that these jokers did, i'll be impressed.

[@higgyfoo]

doesn't really look like chris wants to be on that show lol

[@skiie]

i think the black guy was fakin it for kicks, but LOL @ the knife guy and stick chick rofl.

[@sweetsweatyfeet]

I agree with Blndrfist, just another posturing tough guy and this is clearly a cooperative demo. It's quite easy to spot fight demos compared to the real thing. What kind of fight record does this guy have against someone with REAL credentials? In the early days of MMA, highly ranked pure form martial artists (kung fu, karate, etc) were routinely mauled by wrestlers, pancrase and Braz jiujitsu fighers. Against today's best MMA fighters traditional martial artists would get totally destroyed.

[@thelocust8763]

Chris crudely nice man I'd love to meet him!

[@MobiusCoin]

lol Slayer... very nice

[@LordGohda]

Well then you only do it for your own sake,it probably won't hurt. But you don't have to yell eitheir. In some styles the yell all the time. In others only occasinaly. I train in the Bujinkan system where we mostly don't shout, but we train in the principals of a proper battle shout.

[@dtwtan]

Ah, I see what you mean. True..

[@jadh92]

whatever there was only like 4 episodes i think lol

[@deathleprachan13]

wait this is a kids TV show?

[@ninja1shinobi]

cool

[@MindfulBodybuilding]

yeah he also taught uk's military

[@RedhillTaekwondo]

well it can't be aimed at anyone over the age of 16. Any way I was a stupid thing to say to any audiance.

[@LordGohda]

What. WHY would you only shout when striking? In my style we don't shout much at all, but shouting is a great way to distract the mind of the attacker. I've seen people stop dead at a shout(and done it myself). They tried to attack then when the martial artist shouts they just freeze. Nothing super natural. It's the same thing as when a S.W.A.T team shouts; freeze, down on the ground! You'r brain need to procces the sudden sound and it throws you off your game. Funny video.

[@budoka92]

but in real world mostly the ones who attack you arent some 5dan karatekas they are as "talented" as theose guys there were but in real world they would be very angry

[@slackdave]

The best thing was the the Slayer track!!

[@chailizard]

Does anyone know what martial art(s) he's using here?

[@BobBob-oe9uf]

Bullshido with a pinch of choreography.

[@mertles02]

@JamesMMcCann agreed, I had the same experience

[@Foralluhaterz]

are you sure its not choreographed, if its not then its great

[@arul20]

i wouldn't say 'poor guy' .. rather 'real man' ..

[@faelaern]

Holy shit, dude. For somebody to be a good fighter they have to equal Fedor?

[@sweetsweatyfeet]

"i really would like to see Fedor.Cro-cop or any other mmartist if they had to fight 5 people.one with a bat another one with a beer bottle another one with a stool" Are you even remotely suggesting that Crudell would stand a chance against 5 guys so armed? That's laughable. Okay so the UFC/MMA is commercialized it doesn't alter the fact that it's top fighters are some of the very best. Pure form eastern martial arts don't stand a chance against them. It's been proven over and over.

[@syruswise]

t's too rough around the edges to be choreographed

[@sweetsweatyfeet]

And does the Wushu practitioner know what to do if he ends up on the ground? And are you saying Americans can't do wushu? Why not? Watch early videos of Jason De Lucia, a very highly ranked white sash kung fu artist vs Royce Gracie, BJJ. He was taken down, wrapped up and arm barred very quickly not once but twice. Those early UFCs had almost no rules. Gracie has since been defeated by today's best MMA guys. Given that, I highly doubt wushu would do any better in today's MMA competitions.

[@JGSH13]

getting into the ring doesnt prove anything, except who can fight by the rules the best.

[@milnusthegnome]

makes sense. but what if theyre wearing earphones and listening to some heavy metal and hyped up on testosterone?

[@Simon0]

i'm quite good at tekken 5. Does that mean id be a good fighter in real life?

[@lordhumongos]

So none of what you learned in Shotokan bleed over to your your kickboxing ? Find that hard to believe mate. The stance work in kenpo just instills the fundamental footwork for striking, foot and hip pivoting in harmony and such. Kickboxing is the fundamentals of many martial arts without the "art". I find it funny that so many people these days can't wrap tier head around the idea that someone who does kata can in no way have time to sharpen on a bag of maybe work a ground game......

[@Simon0]

2:12 - that was easy!

[@mafrek]

i thought he was gonna throw a little girl around :/

[@dtwtan]

U dont neccessariyl need hooks in when they're flat on their stomach do you? and he had the guys head against the ground. If blade boy turtled up, then i'd agree with what u said,

[@youtubefreak415]

that's hot! lmao!!

[@RedhillTaekwondo]

It really is not a good idea to break your own hands. And is not at all nessasary. Forging or toughening of the body is best done slowley. I find Mr. Crudelli's programes very entertaining but it was silly to say that on a kids TV show.

[@sdbjr007]

I believe FMA practitioners can.

[@arul20]

and take her =)

[@VNPrince]

forget chris... the girls are hott

[@bertanderny]

@oldskoolmacboy the presenters a bit more then a tosser i think

[@shotoron29]

I doubt it too but who cares. What's the point of being able to do it to an MMA fighter. What does that prove?

[@RightWingCon81]

gay, the guy knows some judo throws he didn't even get hooks on "blade boy" when he got his back.

[@setra23]

bad idea. You really need to learn how to become effciant other wise youll get wooped

[@Simon0]

i know no one will beleive me but i have put in a ton of practise and i could totally win a fight against Chris.. at street fighter 2 turbo.

[@bakstaber111]

omg evry move was pe-planed

[@BobBob-oe9uf]

What a joke

[@Rassamdul]

it could be f'king awesome to get sum reaL MMA skills

[@beiderbeck81]

none of them tried hitting him

[@falvalisious]

Bullshido

[@chris41188]

Chris Crudelli is a con man.
