Yea I was pretty excited when I stumbled upon this guy. And you're right – he could have parlayed this fraud into some real fame a few years later.

I'm pretty sure bob barker studied karate…but i'm not positive.

Absolutely. But I best not write about him, lest the wammy be put on me!

Thanks for stopping by – I'll make sure to return the favor.

I have to say, of all the well known “martial frauds” out there Ashida Kim is still my favorite. The hit-list he had up on his website for a while (down now I think) and his ridiculous $10,000 challenge put him over the top for first place in my book.

Never heard of this guy Hydrick, good find. I can't believed he fessed up like that, that is rare. Too bad he couldn't keep himself out of trouble after his demise. If he were smart he could've become a big time mystical debunker like Randi.

It's interesting that Bob Barker did that interview, doesn't he have a black belt in something?
