YouTube: Aikido is Bullshit
From the YouTube description: Master Ken explains why the ancient art of Aikido is inferior to his "Street Lethal" art of Ameri-Do-Te. -- Jun |

I was actually hoping for a good roasting. I don't think this anywhere near Enter the Dojo's best effort.

It seems like "Master Ken" is trying to avoid actually insulting any art and is sticking to safe jokes. He is, after all, a humorist who spoofs the martial arts while being entertaining. But IMO he sacrifices some edgy humor that he's quite capable of, in favor of not offending anyone.

Re: YouTube: Aikido is Bullshit
There's a 17-minute excerpt on Youtube of a live "Enter the Dojo" show that he did with most of his cast, at a martial arts expo in Las Vegas last year. It was a compilation of the material he used in his various episodes, with a little bit of all of his catch phrases and routines.
Taking a bunch of 7-minute mini-TV-shows and making a half-hour live stage show from them must not have been easy. There were funny bits, but it ran out of steam quickly and "Master Ken" paced around on the stage a lot, out of his element in a live production. Needs to make it flow better and get some fresh material mixed into the old favorite stuff. It reminded me of the old Saturday Night Live characters that were funny as 5-minute sketches but didn't carry over well to a full-length feature film. Anyway, I think he could have been nastier to aikido... and all the other MAs too. ;) |

Re: YouTube: Aikido is Bullshit
I feel like the aikido one was the least offensive toward any martial art...which is surprising because its probably the least respected after ninjutsu. I have been wondering why its taken so long for him to do a piece on aikido. I think he's a traditional shotokan guy, but I can't remember - maybe he's an aikidoka as well, or has aikido friends and wasn't sure how to approach it.
His roast at the Black Belt HoF is pretty great. The later seasons are still good, but I feel like the first season was the best. My god, the comments after his "ninjutsu is bullshit" video came out. I think I saw people threaten to kill him a dozen times in just the first page of comments. People take themselves way too seriously. |
