> Originally posted by Royal Dragon > Do we even CARE about Asida kim any more? The thing is, he sucks so bad, but it doens’t seem that he’s done much recently so there’s not much (more than usual) to make fun of. Back in the day when I posted the alternate URL to his old message board that would allow you to post under the “blocked” usernames like “Chris Hunter” and “Ashida Kim,” that was fun, but he finally fixed that. Then he got rid of his stupid message board all together and got some new one that is a little better, but seems to take forever to open topics. Maybe people are starting to realize that he sucks. I just try to tell everyone how fake he is so they don’t waste their money on his books like I did many years ago before I knew that most of the “ninjutsu” books out there were fake. If you want ninjutsu, go with Masaaki Hatsumi’s or Stephen K. Hayes’ old stuff. Stay away from the fakes like Ashida Kim, Frank Dux, that other guy whose name I can’t remember, and anyone else who claims to be Koga, or who can’t tell you their teacher’s name cuz it’s too secret. Hatsumi has the freaking Togakure ryu scrolls and is recognized by Japan as being the legitimate grandmaster, altho that could potentially be more politics than authenticity. However, Ashida Kim, on the other hand, claims to come from a dead lineage, has no scrolls, says his master is too secret to tell you his real name, and is a freaking white guy who picked a Japanese first name and a Korean last name and uses Chinese terms in his books. His real name is Christopher Hunter, and his first book was published under that name before he realized he would sell more books if he used a pseudo-Asian name. I would rather learn from Chris Farley’s character in “Beverly Hills Ninja” than from Ashida Kim. ---

Becca - is it just me, or shouldn’t the “kusarifundo” actually be “makiwara”? Oops, nope, I’m thinking “manriki”. Actually, I can call it whatever I want if I’m a ninja with a patch, right? Either way, I was always under the impression that weapon was to tangle the feet. Although I suppose you could throw it at someone’s mouth…I guess. Anyway, that site is just as or more funny than [realultimatepower.com](http://realultimatepower.com) - WHERE NINJAS TOTALLY FLIP OUT AND KILL PEOPLE. SWEET!! _guitar wails in background_ ---

SWEET!! _guitar wails in background_ [/B] You might as well call it what you want, seeing as how you are not capable of figuring out what “this” does, or how it works. Having said that… It seems to me that it is used exactly like any other heavy flexable weapon- commonly thrown as well as used up close. ---

Nope, nope, nope! The website said you cant’ figure it out. Guess you’d better pratice your arrow shooting, instead. You never know when it’ll be your turn to shoot someone right through the eye.😛 😃 ---

Yeah, I guess you’re right, I’ll never be as bad@ss as someone who has a ninja website that proves just how bad@ss he is. _guitar wails again, but sadly_ [Previous page](https://forum.kungfumagazine.com/t/ashida-kim/30863.md?page=1)
