A controversial social media personality with a disturbing criminal past has resurfaced online with claims about achieving physical invincibility through extreme training methods.
Ben Azoulay (who operates under the moniker King Azoulay) posted a rambling video in which he promotes what he calls “skull conditioning.” It is a technique he claims to have learned from Shaolin monks in China. The self-proclaimed masculinity guru suggests that daily head trauma can transform one’s skull into an unstoppable weapon.
“After many years of training, I trained all types of martial arts,” Azoulay states in the clip, before making the extraordinary claim that “if you train your skull for about an hour a day, bang it against the wall, after a year it becomes four times thicker than it really is.”
The influencer’s latest content comes amid renewed scrutiny of his background following an investigation by YouTuber Jon Bravo Films, which uncovered court records revealing Azoulay’s conviction for serious criminal charges involving a minor. According to the documented findings, in July 2008, then-18-year-old Azoulay was involved in the assault of a 15-year-old girl at a house party in Sherman Oaks, California.
Court documents show that Azoulay “admitted his guilt in open court” on charges of violating California Penal Code section 288 involving a minor. His brother Dylan was also convicted in juvenile proceedings related to the same incident. The case resulted in both criminal convictions and a civil lawsuit that appears to have been settled confidentially.
Despite this criminal history, Azoulay continues to market himself as a mentor to young men, promoting masculinity courses while crafting an elaborate backstory involving martial arts expertise, FBI work, and organized crime connections. His recent video addsto these questionable claims, as he describes traveling to China to train with monks who allegedly taught him dangerous techniques.
“The strongest part of the body is actually your skull,” he declares in the footage, suggesting that repeated head impacts can make someone “unstoppable, indestructible.” He goes on to claim that a properly conditioned skull can “break any bone” in an opponent’s body during physical confrontations.
Medical experts would likely find such assertions deeply troubling, as repeated head trauma is associated with serious neurological conditions rather than enhanced physical capabilities. The promotion of intentional brain injury as a training method raises significant safety concerns, particularly given Azoulay’s apparent influence over impressionable young followers.
The investigation by Jon Bravo Films has highlighted concerns about how individuals with questionable backgrounds can now purchase online fame and influence with relative ease. The YouTuber expressed particular worry about Azoulay’s current role as a supposed mentor to young people, given his documented criminal past.
