Ashida Kim Exposed, And Response

[BenwaMandelbrot]

You want a war, fine. You want to track down and harass my friends, fine. Now, you will all learn why you fear the darkness.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen. This is the response from Ashida Kim, to our latest expose of his BS activities. The more astute reader will recognize the quote as from James Earl Jones' character, Thulsa Doom, in Conan. But we all know orignality is not the strong suit of Ashida.

For those of you unaware, Bullshido recently published an expose of Ashida, better known as Radford Davis. Here is a small bit from the introduction:

But wait! One also receives

"DOJO ID Card and 8 1/2 x 11 Certificate of Rank and Membership in The DOJO-Academy of Martial Arts, a subsidiary of BLACK BELT INTERNATIONAL the parent company and Representative Commission for dozens of styles and martial arts clubs worldwide. Video Testing is available as part of the Fee, and will be evaluated by recognized instructors and sanctioned in whatever school or freestyle method is designated by the applicant."

Ashida/Radford's response can be read on his forums here:

Original poster's comments follow:

I think he's pissed about the recent expose piece (even though he says he isn't). If I were Sam Browning and Phrost, I'd be putting in a nightingale floor in my Tatami house, hiring pirates, or spraying the herbaceous border with anti-ninja spray, or whatever it is one does in such a situation.

Moved to News and copy added by Phrost.

Actually I was wondering about "Ashida Kim" - although he's a total nut job, the possibility of such a name is not completely impossible. Korea was occupied for sometime by Japan, and although there was alot of raping going on by the Japanese, some of them were decent enough to hitch up with some of the nice females in the area.

Therefore sometimes a Japanese man and a Korean woman (or the other way around) would get married, have kids, and compromise on a name.

I have a friend named Byungwoo Ryu. First name Korean in origin. Last name is Jpanaese in origin. No biggie.

But as far as good old chris hunter yes hes about as much ninja as Splinter the rat who I caught in my kitchen last year. I captured another mouse and they duked it out in a box and I set the winner free.

Jeepers, I hope Ashida doesn't get himself in trouble with the law for saying that stuff...

http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/...n%2010#0836.10

836.10 Written threats to kill or do bodily injury; punishment.--If any person writes or composes and also sends or procures the sending of any letter or inscribed communication, so written or composed, whether such letter or communication be signed or anonymous, to any person, containing a threat to kill or to do bodily injury to the person to whom such letter or communication is sent, or a threat to kill or do bodily injury to any member of the family of the person to whom such letter or communication is sent, the person so writing or composing and so sending or procuring the sending of such letter or communication, shall be guilty of a felony of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.

Something tells me the law-enforcement folks in the Lake Alfred/Winter Park area may know who this "Ashida Kim" is, and perhaps they should be notified about this possible felony offense! :5shocking

[Sam Browning]

Personally I'm not worried. And no, harrassment would be calling Radford late at night or threatening him with bodily harm which we have not done. (And I do not want done) We've made our case that Radford = Ashida. Nothing more need be said.

I'm not much for threads that turn into point and laugh fests, but I had a couple of questions come up from reading his message board.

1. I am seriously wondering if his "supporters" are just him under different user names. If not, I am seriously curious about their backgrounds. No underlying threat here, just what makes them tick, and why they believe so wholeheartedly in guy that has so many reputable sources debunking him.

2. Does he make threats just to save face? He knows 2 things, 1. Threats won't make people stop, and 2. He won't follow through.

3. I can't help but notice how small his messageboard is. Surely fleecing people in the ma community can't be his only source of income. I wonder what he does supplement his income?

These are open-ended questions, if you have answers, thanks.

He's comunicated a threat. I think seeking prosecution would be an apropriate response. Just hope he doesn't hurt those poor police officers TOO bad when they come to arrest him.

[Muleg7]

Oh my dear LORD. "Now you will all learn why you fear the darkness".... That's the most intimidating thing this guy could come up with??? Sounds like somebody has spent too many Saturday nights reading comic books. Maybe he really is a ninja after all.

Seriously, does ANYBODY really talk like that? I can just imagine what conversations at this loser's house must be like. "Passeth the margirine or I shall strike thee down with much fury..."

Does Kim not realise that Phrost, Sam and most of the other Bullshido 'seniors' transform into heavily armed giant robots when physically threatened ?

[Kistrael]

Since nobody else has...

...but not Mechanized Attack Squad.

[BackFistMonkey]

[chaosexmachina]

Seeing cullions avatar made me wish that Ashida actually followed through with his $10k challenges so Tank could beat the snot out of him.

[FingerorMoon?]

Now, you will all learn why you fear the darkness

They will drown in lakes of blood ?

[Cakemaster]

"Why people bash Ashida-san."

Ashida-san.

To rhyme with "vomit". I feel sick. Do we have a doctor Banner in the house?

[MP3KSC]

why does he bring up the 10k challenge when he backed out from it?
