A quick comparison of Ashida Kim and reality

Friends,

Just a brief post today - comparing Ashida Kim's concealment tactics with logical concealment tactics. In case you're wondering, there's a big difference.

Check out Part 1 of his "Ninja Sentry Removal Techniques" video to get an idea of how he attempts to conceal himself in a rural environment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCNRh9M9OAI

(A lengthly evaluation of this entire video series can be found in older posts).

Next, we'll look at a video series by a YouTube user named GhillieArnhem. The series is called "The art of camouflage," and it has good demonstrations of how to blend in with a woodland environment. It is in 9 seperate parts; here they all are:

The Art of Camouflage

Part 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoSU9PVeAX4
Part 4: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEFSPXBYkVA
Part 5: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIFvW9oD0ho
Part 6: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wciCtO-CjF0
Part 7: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCx3gK3XHAU
Part 8: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Y0iAF8s764
Part 9: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=On4rnbEq5mY


It's simple. Ashida Kim's techniques are foolish, outdated, and are designed to appeal to the 12-year-old boy who thinks ninjas are cool. They're not effective techniques. Anyone trying to employ them would get themselves killed.

Please do not waste time or money with Ashida Kim's products. You'll learn nothing from him that can't be learned better elsewhere.
