Mind, Body & Kick Ass Moves is a television programme broadcast on BBC Three. Presented by Chris Crudelli the documentary series travels around the Far East exploring different martial arts and learning the secret skills and knowledge of the 'Grandmasters'. The series investigates aspects of each different martial art by filming the masters demonstrating their style and skills. There is one series of 10 episodes. Each episode focuses on a mix of different martial arts and masters and shows Crudelli taking some martial arts and tricks to the streets, in a style similar to street magic. The opening narration states Crudelli is a master of combat and esoteric energies. An edited version was broadcast in the United States in half-hour segments as Mind, Body & Kickin' Moves on FSN. ==Episode one== Crudelli travels to Manila in the Philippines where he talks with Ernesto Presas about a martial art which went underground and was kept alive by being taught as a dance. The footwork and hand movements from the dance have their root in the original martial art. Knowing the dance means one can become a good fighter. Crudelli is later shown at a bowling alley where he watches a group of young men as they perform breakdance moves. Crudelli comments that a lot of the moves are similar to ''Wushu kung fu'', and teaches the youths how they could adapt their dance moves into kicks. The action then moves to Beijing where he meets several people who practice ''T'ai chi''. The narration tells us that hidden beneath the forms of Tai Chi, are powerful martial arts moves. One master who Crudelli meets is Lau Hung Chi, who practices ''Sun Style Tai Chi''. On a beach in England Crudelli teaches four female lifeguards about Drunken Style Kung Fu. Telling them it is all about deception, and by using this technique one can fool their opponent and gain the upper hand. In Japan Crudelli visits a Ninja school near Tokyo, where he meets Masaaki Hatsumi, whom the show identifies as being the last living Ninja, to learn about the art of Ninjutsu. At the school Crudelli tries to avoid a razor-sharp blade being wielded by Hatsumi. Back in China, Crudelli is instructed by Jumin De, one of the Jīng wǔ mén who combines Tai Chi and Qigong to form his own powerful fighting style. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mind, Body & Kick Ass Moves」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
