"Mind, Body and Kick Ass Moves" examins the world of martial arts. Martial arts expert Chris
Crudelli travels through China, Japan and the Philippines in his search for the
original Masters of martial arts disciplines. He learns about ninja, tai qi, kung fu, the deadly dim mak and many more.


Chris Crudelli is a martial arts practitioner and teacher who has worked extensively in the UK and the Far East. He divides his time between Kung Fu (the dynamic, fast and focused art, famous for its debris of broken bricks and planks) T’ai Chi (ranging from the slow moves that hide the true form of fast, lethal fighting) and Chi Gong (where fighting style meets incredible power, healing and the intuitive arts).

Chris is 32 and was born in Birmingham of Italian/Irish parents. Aged 8 he began to learn Martial Arts. In his teens he lived with a Chinese family continuing his Kung Fu training. It became the all-consuming passion of his life, as it is to this day.

At the age of 17 he went to Hong Kong to study and he spent the next number of years travelling and studying with Martial Arts Masters in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mainland China. He speaks Mandarin and this has helped him search out the more esoteric and philosophical exponents of martial arts in China as well as perfect the physical side of his fighting styles.

Mind, Body & Kick Ass Moves has taken him on an extraordinary journey to meet new teachers. Travelling to Japan, The Philippines, Hong Kong, Beijing and Taiwan he has met a wide range of Masters, who have revealed techniques and skills that range from the obscure to the downright weird.
