Van Damme's kicks are pop culture now. True art form.
There’s a lot of martial arts actors who can throw some amazing kicks and have an amazing variety with the types of kicks they can throw. But Van Damme is the gold standard in terms because of the way he points his toes, the lines from the tip of his toes down his leg to his hip. I think you could take a screenshot of him doing a helicopter kick, place a piece of paper on top and draw a line from Van Damme’s toes to his hip and it would probably be a completely straight line. And that’s his ballet background.
That's an interesting idea. People like Tony Jaa or even Michael Jai White have superseded JCVD in terms of pure athletic ability but I suppose there is something to be said for Van Damme's precision and smoothness.
@@miesvaillanykyisyytta3252
Yeah, it's true
We're looking forward to your first Van Damme interview!
💪🔥
I don't think he would?
From my POV, Van Damme didn't just bring the kick shape, he brought the full package. He along with Gary Daniels and you David proved that you can be muscular and agile at the same time. That's inspiring. You mentioned in previous videos and interviews about having a sense of urgency when it comes to wanting to fulfill goals. That urgency is almost starting to hit me now. I'm almost 40 and completely out of shape. But, my long-term goal is to have a physique like Van Damme's or Gary Daniels'.
Van Damme is who I think of when someone mentioned martial arts movies. He in his prime brought the "glow" ;)
That's true Van Damme defined certain kicks that became his signature moves, but the beauty is you also see power behind his kicks the way he delivers them and that's why we like it.
Van Damme was the perfect package for the big screen.
Jean Claude Van Damme arrive in Hollywood at the good time, with the goods kills and with effort, dedication and perseverance. This is the key to its success.
His helicopter kick is enormously beautiful. He deserved to be highlighted in these films.
Yeah, Vandamme's kicks looked really cool on screen.
Chuck Norris' kicks became cool on the screen when he started filming " Walker - Texas Ranger "
They were definitely better than when he fought Bruce.
@@fawcusfitness yeah, in the " Way of the Dragon " Chuck's kicks were cool. But from there until " Walker - The Texas Ranger ", his kicks looked average.
But I bet van Damme would have get his kick assed by Norris in a real fight. Norris was the best fighter when he was fighting, though he only fought on points. But Bill Wallace said that Norris was unbelievable as a fighter. Moreover, Norris is a multiple black belt in BJJ. As far as I know Van Damme hasn´t any grappling skills at all.
@@Katzenhase yeah that is true. Norris is champion and BJJ black belt. Bill Wallace, Joe Lewis, Mike Stone, Benny Urquidez, Joe Rogan, the Gracie brothers and Machado brothers all said that Chuck Norris is a Real Deal
@@basalvaro and now 84 years old!
In terms of on screen martial arts aesthetic, Van Damme's kicks are probably the best looking and most graceful we've seen on film. You could recognize his kicks just from seeing his sillouette. That's why there are a lot of imitators, even Chuck Norris' kicks improved and looked better on screen after training with Van Damme. Not knocking Van Damme, but I think Benny and Bill Wallace type kicks are more effective in a real fight.
The only other martial artist I've seen who's impressed me with this type of ability is a man named Jean Frenette. His flexibility and form is insane and his kicking ability is pretty much identical to Van Damme's level. If you're old enough you may remember him from Inside Karate magazines from the early 90's. If you've never heard of him but curious, there's some old and recent footage of him performing and doing demonstrations on youtube.
What they need to do is give Van Damme his flowers by giving him credit for taking his image from Bloodsport and creating Johnny Cage for Mortal Kombat for those of you who weren't aware of it. They also created Sonya Blade from Sarah Conor ( Linda Hamilton) . Other easter eggs that people may not know about MK... They created Raiden from the Lighting guy and Shang Tsung from the scorcerer David Lopan both from Big Trouble In Little China
Really? I knew about them getting Johnny Cage from Van Damme but I thought the idea of Sonya came from Cynthia
@@Lonegunmanonthegrassyknoll Yup... You can even see almost an exact resemblance between the Sonya in the first MK and Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor from the 1st 2 Terminator movies
Whats this Easter egg thing people talk about?
@@knightrider6473 Its just things people either missed or dont know about something, thats all
Apart from movies Van Damme made lots of demonsrations and shows in Gala and other places. Just look what cut n clear his kicks are and they are absolutely precise and realistic. Look at his legs in order to make such splits and jump the way he did you have to be very well trained and have really strong legs. He was very flexible with perfect control over his legs work. His shape generally was incredible. All right he looks brilliant on the screen but to have such looks one has to go very long path of going to perfection. Sorry for you if you can not see the difference, but his kicks are much more better than anybody's else including Chuck Norris. They did not make joint movie cause Van Damme had been looking 100 per cent better.
SAY ALL YOU WANT ABOUT THAT DOUCHE BAG ,HIS KICKS LOOK FAKE ON SCREEN AND REAL LIFE.
I Watched Knock Off And Double Team l Think They Was Some Cool Awright Movies ld WatchThem Again If I Had The Movies
Very interesting use of terminology to refer to it as kick "shape" rather than form or technique.
Chuck Norris was known for his kicks. Donnie Yen was also known for kicking he said VD knows what he is doing donnie gives him credit. VD made it an art form the beauty of kicking so entertaining. I throw Phillip Rhee in there to as a top kicker and keith cooke who so fast with his kicks. But VD made it gold. I like Double Team its a fun cool movie like knock off its a fun cool move.
Van Damme is good. But Chuck is the best!
Guys like Gary daniels, Darren shalahvi imitate Van damme, but Van damme still the only.
Hey VS I've been so busy I didn't even realize you had a boxing match! How/where do I watch it?
Cheers
Good footage released soon.
Love Van Damme movies heck I will even watch a B dvd movie modern movies of his to this day.
JCVD IS THE BEST..
OOPS I DIDNT MEAN TO SEND TWO COMMENTS
Man how have you not gotten hooked up with Scott Atkins or jcvd yet is crazy is crazy
I interviewed Scott Adkins already.
@@VikingSamuraieveryone is waiting for you to interview JCVD LOL
I think it’s probably a combination of photo shoots as a model and Corey Yuen ( Yuen Woo Ping’s brother) who may have had an influence on Van Damme doing the helicopter kick with that form. In No Retreat No Surrender ( Corey Yuen was the director / fight choreographer) he throws the kick the same way as the villain in that film that predates Bloodsport. He also throws it in the same way in Black Eagle which also predates Bloodsport. I can’t think of a film with Van Damme where he doesn’t perform the kick in the same way 💪🏿🇺🇸🔥🇺🇸🔥🇺🇸🔥👍🏿
Van Damme filmed Black Eagle after Bloodsport.
Hi. I have a question. Is it possible for me to learn full spilts on my own as i dont have a coach, because im learning JKD on my own.
Ya, try this ruclips.net/video/bZYCY35RBXc/видео.html
@@VikingSamurai thanks
Thanks. I got some guidance that I can create my own exercises now as I combine flexibility exercises with some yoga exercises.
JCVD!!!!!! 💪🙂👍
You know the White Shape Symbol of MLB, NFL, NHL, and NBA??? That’s how I would look at the VAN DAMME Shape, even though Bruce Lee already has that of him with the Flying Kick shaded in Black for his Label. But I see what he means by “The Shape”. 🤘🤘🤘
Well said bearded guy
I really wish Van Damme had more insightful choreography, similar to No Retreat No Surrender, which had more combos and blocking.
❤👌✌
Van damme has been my idol for thirty three years. I started watching cyborg and bloodsport when I was five
Errr Bruce Lee anyone?
False, Bruce Lee invented the kick shape, though JCVD is a great kicker.
Knockoff and Double Team were 2 terrible,terrible movies from Van Damme and i think the directors and lpw production quality had a lot to do with it.
Viking samurai vs Ernie Reyes Jr , make it happen
Jimmy justice now fighting in the bkfc he's got is break is fighting on the big stage bareknuckle.. after knocking that guy out in a bareknuckle fight.. probably better off sticking to movies if you fought jimmy justice in bareknuckle anything that would have been dangerous
AS FAR AS VAN DOUCHE BEING THE BEST ON SCREEN FIGHTER,EVEN THE ROACHES ARE LAUGHING THEIR ASSES OFF ON THAT ONE
awwwh...someone is butthurt
ah...u mad Maxine? Go fix a sandwich
@@Lonegunmanonthegrassyknoll YEAH YOUR MOTHER
(Steps in troll poop) Trolls...
@@Nak_Muay_Farang11 YOUR MOTHERS A TROLL
TRUE MARTIAL ARTISTS WILL TAKE CHUCKS KICKS OVER VAN DOUCHES ANY DAY.CHUCKS KICKS WERE PROFESSIONAL,AND REALISTIC,AND HE NEVER WORE A THONG ON SCREEN.
dang Maxine...relax
@@Lonegunmanonthegrassyknoll SO I GUESS YOU WEAR THONGS TOO
It's Hollywood! Not about realism , but rather about what looks good. JCVD,s kicks looked far better, plus JCVD didn't constantly use doubles to do his kicks like Chuck did. You seem upset about chuck nit wearing a thong, but please try keeping that to yourself. 🤮

@@TOP5ALIVE154 I GUESS YOU THINK A GROWN MAN WEARING A THONG IS OK? I GUESS YOU BORROW YOUR THONGS FROM YOUR MOTHER THEN.
This guy with the beard who looks like Fidel Castro seems weird to me. I get the feeling he makes stuff up on the fly while talking about all this as he contradicts himself at times from what he said earlier. For him to say you would fall down doing those Van Damme kicks. I've seen VS do all of those and he landed no problem.
THE GENTLEMAN WAS COMPARING CHUCK NORRIS WITH VAN DAMME,CHUCK BURIES VAN DAMME ON ACTING,TALENT AND MARTIAL ARTS,YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME.VIKING,YOU SAID VAN DAMME IS THE BEST ON SCREEN FIGHTER,LOL,IVE SEEN SQUIRRELS IN MY BACK YARD DOING BETTER FIGHT SCENES THAN THAT FLAKE.LOL !
