Mind, Body and Kick Ass Moves was aired by the BBC in 2004 and thankfully a suitable presenter was chosen in Chris Crudelli. While regular journalists and television presenters can often patronize their more informed audience, by selecting a martial arts expert as host, the series carries a greater authority behind it. Each episode is split into segments ranging from thirty seconds to four or five minutes. While the episodes aren't too taxing and are easy to watch, occasionally they don't always do justice to the topic. Crudelli meets some genuine masters and while what is covered is often very interesting, a lot more could have been included or expanded upon.

The format of the show is made up of alternating segments of Crudelli's travels around Asia with footage of Crudelli interacting with the British public. Crudelli demonstrates various self defense techniques and chi harnessing methods, often leaving the volunteers amazed at both what Crudelli does and what they achieve themselves. While these portions of show are educational and fun, there is a sort of David Blaine/Derren Brown feel to these segments which may cast doubt over the tricks Crudelli performs. Some martial artists may also scoff at the use of martial arts and its theory as performance and entertainment and feel that Crudelli is misrepresenting the arts. That said, as a non-practitioner myself I can say that I enjoyed these scenes and they only increased my interest. As an open-minded and inquisitive individual I am happy to give Crudelli and others the benefit of the doubt, though I'm aware esoteric concepts will always draw skeptics who may want to steer clear of this series.
