Crazy ..thirty years later and I still care about this story more than ever ..this was thirty years ago were still trying to get the truth ...the truth is ..probably not a kumite like that ...like in the movie there was probably some sort of fight ..all the military stuff was surely fake ..but who knows that's as close as well ever get ..franks said some dumb shit I believe donnthe dragon on the bullet matrix stuff
I do.believe that dux probably didn't say exactly what dragon thought he heard about the bullet stuff I mean it would sound crazy frank acknowledges that
Viking, I've been following you for quite some time. I'm a combat vet and have trained on and off in Savate for 19 years. Your patience and playing the leveling ground finding your spot in the midst of all this madness with all these guys together. My hats off to you brother, I mean really it is. I would've blew my lid with all this shit with Dux 🤣🤣 All these other guys too. It's just one big pissing contest of so much mixed opinions and trying to find the real truth behind it all. I really hope one day we find out what's really happening with all these guys for real. Thank you for your patience and perseverance to keep digging to actually find out what the fuck really happened with all these guys. May Jean Claude bless you with his presence one day on your channel. Keep it up man! Much love and respect 💯
Hey man - there’s no way to get both sides of the story, nor this much awesome content without having some neutrality. Anyone who doesn’t appreciate your approach isn’t getting how much more we all get to see because if it. Thanks man!!
I’m half German, and half Hong Kong descedentant, my Dad knew Mr. Dux at that time, personally the last things i remember about that topic with my Dad before he passed away was something like, “Son, i don’t really understand why so many folks hate Mr. Dux, but this story is 100% factual, i was there, i was there” - that’s enough to me.
I've met Frank Duc Sensei. Shortly after his left sided Stroke. He is a Human, you meet him and he is Warm and Kind. I think with all Martial Arts Masters there is Ego so... if YOU are egoless, an empty vessel, you will see a wonderful human martial artist.
@Logan Boyd we shouldn't. But as a kid when I saw bloodsport and was like this was real, I really wanted to get into martial arts, especially after seeing van damme. So,it does matter somewhat
I love how he explains how the trophy was made.about the size and the cup. “Cup is a Yiddish word for brain or head. Meaning don’t have such a big head about this “ This is a great explanation …
It's really interesting how Sky Benson's memory of the footage is in line with what Dux says about his fights. There was THE Kumite, like a normal tournament, but that's not hundreds of fights. There's all these little fights that they would record for posterity, less gambling and more skill sharing, sizing each other up and setting who gets to go on.
I trained with Dux for a few years back in the 80’s at his Woodland Hills dojo. He told us during the filming of Bloodsport, that it was a low budget Cannon film, and that it was embellished with things that didn’t really happen, consolidated some events, and left some of the events out completely, so when we see it, just keep that in mind.
Please interview Matthew Polly and start exploring the myth and mysteries of Bruce Lee in the same way you explored the myths and mysteries of Frank Dux.
This is a really good idea! I'm tired of feeling like I have to correct ppl when they talk like Bruce Lee was just an actor AND correct the ppl who talk like he is a God lol.
@@treadstoned9915 Yup. The material is all out there. Matthew Polly's brilliant book "Bruce Lee: A life" goes into so much detail. The "Kung Fu Genius" Alexander Richter is also a brilliant source of information about Bruce and Ip Man. Bruce Lee's life is so much more fascinating than a lot of the crap fans/haters make up about him. He's a brilliant but flawed man. Viking Samurai just needs to get in there unpack it all.... before Joe Rogan does.
This was nice to see these interviews again. Pasting it all together now that the story has been told from Dux and everyone else. This is legitimate. I don’t understand how people keep underestimating Frank Dux and his story entirely. I think that since people have been so against Dux’s words and story they now don’t know what to do since it’s been explained as such through your channel. People are too afraid to apologize or retract their statements because of pride. Thanks for keeping it real with your interviews especially Dux who has your help in defending him at times when sharing his martial arts history. Thank you Samurai🙏🏼
IMO Frank Dux is a genuinely skilled martial artist with a very creative mind and impressive list of accomplishments. Your videos have provided excellent information about him.
Its funny. No one had a problem when they said it was Frank Dux based on a true story in the movie. He was a legit fight choreographer, he ran his own dojo, created his own art form etc etc etc. But now it is such a big issue.
Now what Frank says about turning a solid blow into a glancing blow is absolutely accurate and true and it would be something I'm not seeing being taught in today's martial arts..
This is great this is great u know, it's good to have an open mind about issues & analyse them for urself.🧠 Which is 1 of the things I love about ur takes.
I must add, Rorion, Big John, Art, and others who witnessed the altercation have said that Zane didn't sucker punch Frank with anything he just simply beat Frank up. Also, Frank says Chuck Liddell was there and got involved. UFC 1 was in Colorado in 93. Chuck was a college student in California at that time. He didn't get to the UFC until 5 years later
Great Episode! This was a very meaty and well put together segment brother. I’ve been so frustrated with the Dux Bashing from people who were suppose to love him. Thank God Master Dux is his own man…. He will call his students to stand against this type slander and bullying. 🇺🇸🙌🏻
I love what you do it is Amazing 👏 all my friends I have sent them your videos love them! You are doing awesome content keep it going. Talk to everyone you can! It's great!
I really understand how hard it is for you at times speaking to all these great people from actors/producer's there friends or coworkers some like eachother some don't and they actually notice your platform and find to get themselves out there for the fans through you and who is a great fan and a great host who has to stay very neutral and I think they already can see this and that your not only a host for them but always for all your followers
Hey Viking, my former Sifu in Wing Chun is good friends with Frank. I asked him about Frank several years back and he told me that Frank is the real deal. He said he trained with him a couple times. My Sifu’s face and body language spoke that he meant what he was saying. He has been in the film industry a little.
It's obvious he has martial arts skills so he's not a fake martial artist but maybe he embellished some stuff and exaggerated and told some good stories but regardless he gave us one of the best martial arts movies of all time. So he deserves at least some respect and credit.
Cool Puma shirt - made in Germany! 😊 I had a seminar with Frank Dux and he was really nice person and quick teaching many concepts and techs! He have his perspective, which you can adapt fast to! (the12 angles and so on) I wish him the best! 😏👍
I dont know if this has been brought up and or discussed, but it would be real interesting to hear from JCVD himself in regards to Dux. Now I know theyve all had a falling out with eachother, but Sheldon still does speak well and gives credit his due in some of your interviews with him. In short, just saying it would be great to learn what and where JC does give Frank his due credit. Happy Holidays to you VS and everyone with peace, love and happiness!
How can I dislike a man that inspired the movie Bloodsport? I like the dude, even if he may have made up the story. I’m not saying he lied. But who cares? That movie is a classic and it’s because of him.
It is easy to accuse someone without evidence; a lack (or little) evidence of something, is not in itself evidence. Carl Sagan said, “Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence”. However, Sagan also said, “Extraordinary claims, require extraordinary evidence”. From what I’ve seen, Frank is offering up more evidence than his accusers. Time will only tell.
Merry Christmas to all, I am going to reserve my comments for the summary . It has been an interesting series, and this has been absolutely non partisan. Job well done
Everyone and I mean everyone at that Karate expo where Zane Frazier kicked the snot out of Frank Dux all said they witnessed Frank throw the first punch, and Zane cleaned his clock. Zane was cleared of any wrong doing and not charged by the District Attorney because all the witnesses were telling the same story where Frank Dux tried to throw the first punch and got his clock cleaned by Zane Frazier for his efforts. Now a moment of silence to remember the poor table that was smashed by Frank Dux flailing body that was thrown on top of it by Zane Frazier.
First off, new to your channel following. Dig your stuff. Have a safe and happy holiday. Second, on Frank Dux, what is the big deal really. If he is bending the truth me personally, I dont think its really a big deal. Take the guy for face value and came up with a really cool story to have bloodsport made. One of the best action movies ever.
Thanks for posting. Much respect to you for keeping it neutral. I do have to say that if Van Damme didn't do Bloodsport, I don't think any other actor would have made an impact like Van Damme did. He had the IT Factor.
Another great video. Well done. I've been hard at work with my content. I can respect the level of time and dedication it takes you to produce these videos. I am learning how much effort it takes! Be sure to stay tuned for part two of my Rating Dux Ryu series where I will discuss Lineages, Systems, Styles, & More! All according to my own experiences working with the Ryu and with 26 years in Martial Arts. That plus more Coming Soon.
I will say after watching several dux-ryu videos that their training seems pretty legit in certain aspects. Some of their like combos or whatever are not as effective as maybe they are showing in demonstration but they also do live training they call randori and pressure testing with full strikes and takedowns and everything.
Rules of Kumite - everyone fights with everyone in turns. After KO, you are still fighting. So after a few fights, the fighters are nearly comatose... Imagine someone punched you, lights out, and then after you wake up, you are immediately going for another round. Sounds legit 🤦♂
Although Bloodsport made Frank a celebraty, it also did a lot of damage to his reputation. The Holywood bullshit that came with it, has exaggerated and embellished the story to the point of un- believability. There are so many untruths in the movie.
As far as dodging bullits is concerned; it's ahrder than you think to hit a moving target. I'm with Frank on this. Why do you think police are taught to say 'Don't move?' Because a moving target is hard to hit.
I knew frank when we were in high-school. One day in class, Frank shat out a turd nugget and named it Senzo Tenaka. He wiped and listened to Turd Tenaka.
The line forever was that he got the name from James Bond... I get what ur saying but everyone said the man wasn't real at all. Proof of his existence and that he lived where Frank said did add some realistic gloss to his bullcorn
Have you made any headway towards interviewing JCVD? I know you interviewed his son, and was hoping he put in a good word. (Also) Who is on your top 10 list of interviews you would like to do?
He claimed 56 knockouts in a row. In matches that last on average...in his own words...18-30 seconds. Matches which was "decisive, very east to see the winner". Mike Tyson's fastest knockout was Marvis Frazier in 30 seconds. Who were these bad asses that were such amazing fighters they earned the distinction of being invited to such a prestigious fight to only last 18 seconds? Truman Capote? Pee Wee Herman? Gary Coleman? Or are these people who didn't move around, didn't try and find range, didn't block and just went toe to toe? Or, as most people would call them: REALLY BAD FIGHTERS And what is particularly weird about this statistic? Frank's own claim that on the first day the fight is conducted on a 12x12 foot platform which is there "to allow circular movement". Maybe he just hit their head all the time? Oh wait, no! He said in the Black belt article you have to work the body to save your hands hurting. It says in the original article if you want to fight in the kumite your instructor MUST be a member of the I.F.A.A. a secret organisation, which would mean his opponents were drawn from a very small pool of people. How could these people possibly be considered the best of the best? Oh, and how was Frank's teacher in November 1975 who was in the kumite? Not the teacher he now claims is someone who died in L.A. during Sepember 1975. Maybe he was allowed special discompensation for that year, but according to Frank's website, he continues to fight in kumite matches until 1980. When asked why anyone would put themselves through the big dangerous event, he said it was a test of one man's style over anothers...in 18-30 seconds bouts...as any fight trainer will tell you, 30 seconds fights is all you need to learn to be a better fighter. Oh wait...no...they say the opposite. OK, so let's assume he wasn't fighting a High School Girls netball team and they were actually grown men, we're told they didn't use names and it was all secret. That part of this was about saving face, and part of it was keeping people's techniques secret....but they gave Frank movies of the fights. Because, obviously, nothing says 'let's keep this anonymous' than sharing the film footage. Film footage that today he says is scarce, but also claimed there were 16 cameras recording in the original Black Belt magazine article. Then of course, to keep it extra specially secret the secret organisation make a 2 foot trophy for Frank. One he now claims was a gag made just for him. That's a funny gag, because if we wind back to the original Black Belt magazine he said 'the trophy is never really the property of the winner, and it's value makes it worth keeping in a secure place'. Was he referring to the 'comedy value'? Clearly he kept it very safe, by leaving it in his school overnight where the dumbest criminals ignored this valuable trophy in favour of his old home recoded VHS tapes. Anyone who has had a break in knows they'll take your TV and your VHS, but they don't in the process say "let's take the time to gather up these all personally recorded VHS tapes too!". Oh, we're sure Frank will try to claim they were stolen because the thieves knew what was on them, but then why would they leave a trophy they knew was 'valuable'...? Then there is the footage which "might be him, he can't tell, and AI says it is". Well, this is easy. It's a big event. It has sponsorship. It has a big audience.This is not one of his top secret anonymous events organised by his girlfriend who you wouldn't know because she lived in Canada, it's a public one. It was also after 1980, wikipedia says so according to Frank, and according to the records on his website (300 1978, 329 1980), he wasn't doing that much fighting in the twilight of his career. So all he has to do is name the non-top secret 'nobody saw' tournaments he won at the end of his career, and then we can narrow it down. Also, as DragonDon points out, if the fights were secret to avoid people seeing techniques, how does Frank not recognise his own techniques on film? That's before we get to those records which apparently were measured using 100 FPS cameras. Some of those records are entirely possible to calculate from camera frames, because they are meaningless. A slow punch starting from a smaller distance away would register as quicker than a quick punch from further away. Therefore, it's not the "fastest recorded punch", it's the punch with the least time travelled from start to end. There is also the problem that at 100fps, if a round lasted more than 2.5 minutes, they'd have to stop the fight to change the films in all the cameras. 1000 feet of film gives about 11 minute recording at 24 fps. It does not record for long at 100fps. Although, according to Frank, these people don't know how to duck, block, or fight from range. So this may not be a problem as long as we are prepared to make the assumption the people at this tournament couldn't actually fight. But the near impossible one is the kick record. Or to quote Black Belt magazine "fastest recorded hook-kick (72 MPH)". You can work out how quick a punch was thrown from start to end by using film, but to know miles per hour, you need to know speed and distance. That means clever geometry to work out from where they were stood, relative size, how much distance was covered. That means looking at different films from different angles. But now here is the hardest part. He claimed it was the fastest recorded 'Hook kick'. That is what he says in Black Belt magazine. That's not a single velocity. The leg doesn't go in a single direction on a hook kick. How many of the people on the National Geographic doc. tried to measure their hook kick? If they did, the accelerometer would have recorded the fastest point the leg was moving, because there would be acceleration and deceleration. To get this right using 100fps cameras, you would need to calculate the distance on every frame. Assuming the world record wasn't just for hook kicks, that means more calculations for every kick in this tournament. It would take so long and involve so much effort, it wouldn't get close to being financially viable. Take 1975 film viewing technology, four 100 fps flims that you have to match up, and then do all the maths to work out the distance for every kick, and see how long it takes to get those numbers from one fight...it's logistically ridiculous. Then there are the number of fights. "We can work it that way" says Frank. How about he describes how it actually went down, not talk about how it's possible to do it differently. Were the Lightweights and Middleweights he referred to in the Black Belt magazine article fighting over the same 3 days? Perhaps then we can get down to how many mats there were and how many cameras per-mat, and ultimately how many fighters had how many fights over those days. That's before we get down to the top secret final day held out in the open on a roof... I respect VikingSamurai's argument for having Frank on. Frank coming up in conversation on this channel, and people are being negative about him. It's proper to give him a right of reply. I also respect the argument that there is no point in being combatative with him when he comes on. But there is nothing to respect in suggesting that there is some truth in the story of the kumite. None of it makes sense, and the bits that come close are new variations on the original story.
I like that you try to stay neutral. That's what a person with a platform should do but I just don't believe Frank and his supporters. I didn't buy what Sky was selling the first time and hearing it again just reinforces my opinion. He never actually says that it was Frank fighting in the kumite footage he was shown. He just keeps saying " a couple guys" were fighting in the "scenes". Seems off to me. Also, Frank told Black Belt magazine that the kumite was in the Bahamas but in your interview Adam clearly says "I can't confirm Frank went to Japan and fought in the kumite". Anyone who has been caught up in telling lies knows that it's hard to keep the details straight
I understand "anger by association." Police officer Zachary Wester destroyed a lot of lives. His church and his wife stood by him during his trial. It was hard not to think that there was something wrong with that church. But that's what churches do when one of their own falls. Help them go back to the light.
So he koed a guy after getting koed. He had a little bit of a knockout and submission in Mexico. I think he got discharged from the military for "flighty" thinking.
The alleged son of Phillipe Cadoratte who published footage in a website not exist now, everything deleted and the man disappeared.The footage was from a 1980 tournament which Dux fought,it is not from the 1975 Kumite in Bahama, Nassau.Many people not believe Dux due to lack of footage.But the man fought underground fights and how a person can reveal all footage from underground fights?There is brutality and you can't upload brutal videos in social media openly.If he killed someone accidentally in those fights he can go to jail if footage came.And this is the reason Dux shown his most fight footage to his senior students who are reliable and trustworthy.I am sure before his death he will publish the truth in front of people.
I just found out the multiple repeated camera shot for 1 hit (in different angles) that has been a trademark for mark di salle movies is actually Frank Dux effort. (Some people dislike it but god i really love it). I used to think that is mark di salle or Sheldon Lettich thing. It goes on up to double impact...the last fight in death warant...and goes on to the blistering Perfect Weapon. Frank didnt involve in those later movie right? Ps* why u never talk about Death Warrant? That last fight with patrick kilpatrick is so awesome
I think that was more Van Damme's idea and influence with the editing, which was prominent in his early films like Bloodsport, Kickboxer, Cyborg, Lionheart and Death Warrant.
As much as I may doubt Some of Dux's claims, he certainly makes for an engaging interview. He should have stayed in the movie making business, and kept writing stories for more action/martial arts flicks; I think it's a natural fit for him.
Im a Masterclass level, Chinese combat arts Fighter. Once you master short range power... Knocking fighters out is very easy to do. One time, I was at an Open-House sparring event, at a Jujitsu school. The fighters there were being extremely disrespectful... So, I decided to teach them a lesson. I proceeded to knock out 3 of their best Blackbelt level fighters, one after the other. All on the first Exchange, as they stepped in to try to grapple me... with my mostly extended lead hand vertical fist, to their foreheads. I never used any more than about 15% of what I was capable of delivering. Each strike was also less than 6 inches worth of movement / runway. Back then, I could have done it with less than 2 inches. And with bare fists... I would have only needed a single inch (the gloves dissolve a lot of the Initial impact forces). The whole 70mph kick thing was funny. Often, they dont measure limb movements in MPH. They typically measure in Feet Per Second. As well as in "Impulse" (the amount of impact power, per fraction of second time-frames). I believe on Fight Science, that they clocked a Kungfu womans Snake Strike, at like 32 feet per second. They said it was actually faster than a Cobras strike. Personally, I have launched kicks that are faster than some people can Jab. Its virtually invisible to the eyes ability to visually detect... until its already done its job, and is half way on the way back to the floor. You can do this, without "Telegraphing", by keeping all of your mass over your rear leg.... which allows the lead leg to be completely weightless... able to be launched with your highest potentials of acceleration. The fastest of these, is a Toe-Stabbing kick (straight vector). Competition fighting (over-hyped sparring), is very little like actual barefist encounters. Besides the gloves giving the fighters artificial defensive abilities (two gloves take up nearly 1 cubic foot worth of 3d space)... and taped wrists to keep them from bucking under impact forces.... these fighters often spar on rubberized mats, to protect them as they hit the ground. In fact, I believe the actual UFC ring also has a spring based shock absorption system, to further reduce potential fall damage. In reality, if you get clocked and your head hits hard pavement... you can easily suffer brain damage... or outright deth. And some of these MMA takedowns? And ground work? They would often end up injuring themselves, trying to attempt these things on the pavement. I met an MMA fighter, whos middle knuckle was driven 1cm in towards his wrist... because he tried the old Ground and Pound.. when in a real street fight. He got on top of the dude, and punched him in the head.. but since there was no gloves, and no rubberized flooring... all of that impact force went from his fist, into the skull.. then the pavement.. and then right back into his own fist. Gave him a Permanent disfigurement... and man, was it every ugly looking. It doesnt help, that these fighters never Condition their fists... making them far more likely to suffer injury.. on even partial level impact forces. I cant speak to Dux's skills... as Ive never seen him train, teach, or fight (as such, Im not really defending the dude). But I can attest to several decades of hardcore fighting experience, as well as a lot of Jealous and Ignorant artists, trying to call me out as a liar, as well as trying to Twist my own words around. Heck... even when Ive went up against these types of fighters in sparring events... they get PISSED when they are completely shut down. One dudes face turned visibly bright red, with pure and utter rage. That particular fighter was nearly 3 times my size, if had would have been able to hit me... I swear I would have been blasted out of the 3rd story window, from the sheer mass forces involved. As skilled as many of these big name fighters are... most of them have never once, had a bare-fist encounter. Most have never fought a man outside of their weight and strength class. Most do not have any Bare-Fist conditioning. And most have never done any Iron-Body training (being able to take a heavy hit, without bruising / damages).. outside of some Shin conditioning. They have often never done any Multiple Attacker training, let alone... any weapons training. They have a seriously Over-Inflated idea, of what their actual combat skills are capable of... and if you mention such a comparison... they get Butthurt REAL Quick. Its like you are challenging their Cult based Religion. They will then try everything they can, to try to trash your reputation. That said... back in the day, when I spared some of these dudes... there were many whom were seriously impressed... and whom even cross trained with me a few times, to try to learn some of what I was teaching. Not every fighter... is petty, jealous, and close minded.
Ohh, and one more thing... About the comments about the ability to Dodge Bullets + Responses about Dropping your center of Gravity... In properly performed Wing Chun, you learn to bend your knees to the point where your knee is directly over your toes. This lowers your center of gravity.. and creates greater stability, gives you the ability to absorb various forces better (using the bending of the legs like shock absorbers - similar to downhill skiing), and also... can allow you to shift your body mass much faster. Watch the Movie "Remo Williams". When Remo is first tasked with taking out the old man (Chun)... Chun uses an almost textbook Wing Chun stance, and when fired upon, shifts his body in a slant, with pretty decent speed (for an actor that likely didnt have much training time under him). As said, its highly unrealistic to state that you could ever dodge a bullet. But its not unrealistic to say that you might be able to read the OPs arm movements, and be able to shift your head out of the way, just enough to prevent being "Terminated". 9 times out of 10... and you still might get popped... but its not too hard to believe that someone managed to pull it off, at least once.
Bro, this is completely off the subject of frank dux. In "Missing in Action 2 the beginning" the final fight between Chuck Norris and the Vietnamese Col Tran. Was the actor who played Col Tran a legit martial artist? I'm watching where Frank said he got offered a billion dollars to fight. Part 3 is next
Whatever the case, you are trying to be objective. That's all anyone could ask when approaching this subject from a third party perspective. On regards to how truthful these claims are?..... I'd go 50/50 on the real.
Hello, Viking Samurai. I've never been against Frank, but I don't believe everything he says. I'm sure he's a beast in his own right. It's important to be honest. However, when you're like a - Ninja, Assassin, Special Ops, and protected various Presidents, I guess not. 🤷♂️ TERRANCE OUT
I've watched all of these lately. Dux makes strange, exaggerated claims quite often. But life has been stranger than his stories on more than one occasion. -It's not unreasonable to assume a criminal org was hosting fights in secret, because the Yakuza did it publicly with PrideFC and got away with it for a long time. The Bahamas is also a central hub for organized crime. They have one of the highest crime rates on earth, but only about %1 of that is documented in detail by the RBPF. -A few guests have told stories just as unusual, and they seem to just be accepted as fact without any real investigation. Paco Prieto claimed in your interview that a lot of his fights were with extremely dangerous criminals, and that the Mexican FBI was setting up those fights. The comments on that interview totally ignored that. -I looked into Phillipe Cadoret. Phillipe Cadoret has no record. Phillipe Cadoret has no documents or footage of his alleged fights. Phillipe Cadoret likely does not even exist, and the old viral kumite footage is probably actually Frank Dux. If there is proof that Cadoret exists that isn't just "The kumite footage" then I've failed to find it. -Some of the idiots who are reported to have been at the Kumite are actual Bullshido practitioners who believe in no-touch knockouts so flooring 100 of them probably wouldn't be very difficult if their opponents have any real martial arts experience. -Claims to have saved children from pirates. The Bahamas is in the Carribean, where the Republic of Pirates was founded. As recently as 2016, it was reported that pirates were attacking yachts around the area. If it's still happening, it was probably also happening in the 80s and 90s. -The CIA has erased the records of thousands of men over the years. To do what they do, they hire people to do unusual things, and those things are never disclosed to the public. There are the popular ones like MK Ultra and the NSA widespread surveillance attack. But then there are extremely ludicrous ones like the erasure of Peter Karlow, the classification of Cleveland Cram, and the wide variety of off-record espionage conducted by James Angleton. They have literally erased entire segments of their own history. I don't think everything he says is true. A great chunk of it is likely bull. But I still have yet to see any definitive thing that completely disproves and debunks what he says.
The failure in the Dux story is: If some soldier study in Nakano school for "spys", that not transform the person in a "expert ninja"; in Nakano the shinobi techniques teachings was done by FUJITA SEIKO, and was survival and psicological techniques; other thing is SHINOBI NO JUTSU or Ninjutsu "IS NOT A MARTIAL ART OF COMBAT", is a compilation of various techniques to survive, deceive, gather information and even avoid getting to fight,,,
Make sure to watch part 1 of Journey into Frank Dux (Destroy): ruclips.net/video/iaXY6Nmnfqs/видео.html
We still not going to talk about that Fing eye patch??
Hey yo finally I been waiting
I didn't know you did a bisping interview I like him
Crazy ..thirty years later and I still care about this story more than ever ..this was thirty years ago were still trying to get the truth ...the truth is ..probably not a kumite like that ...like in the movie there was probably some sort of fight ..all the military stuff was surely fake ..but who knows that's as close as well ever get ..franks said some dumb shit I believe donnthe dragon on the bullet matrix stuff
I do.believe that dux probably didn't say exactly what dragon thought he heard about the bullet stuff I mean it would sound crazy frank acknowledges that
Merry Christmas to All Martial Artists and especially to our host Viking Samurai. 🎄
Happy holidays
Merry Christmas Brother!!
Merry Christmas Brothers! 🇺🇸🙌🏻
Viking samurai is the man

Viking, I've been following you for quite some time. I'm a combat vet and have trained on and off in Savate for 19 years.

ask Chuck Lidell
@@robertray7366 exactly let’s here wut Chuck has to say! LOL
@@DJCHURKLE I doubt Chuck wants to get involved
Frank Dux never hurt me, or my son. Id give him a hug/handshake and a thank you
I’m half German, and half Hong Kong descedentant, my Dad knew Mr. Dux at that time, personally the last things i remember about that topic with my Dad before he passed away was something like, “Son, i don’t really understand why so many folks hate Mr. Dux, but this story is 100% factual, i was there, i was there” - that’s enough to me.
I always enjoy the Dux content. Bring him back!
When Frank talked about the Black Dragon, I expected him to say that he helped Sonya Blade track down Kano.
he did...what do you mean?
I've met Frank Duc Sensei. Shortly after his left sided Stroke. He is a Human, you meet him and he is Warm and Kind. I think with all Martial Arts Masters there is Ego so... if YOU are egoless, an empty vessel, you will see a wonderful human martial artist.

I don't care if Bloodsport is a fiction story or not....its still a great badass movie! Matte!!!
Right! Like 007, I don't care if they are real because they are real cool!!
@Logan Boyd we shouldn't. But as a kid when I saw bloodsport and was like this was real, I really wanted to get into martial arts, especially after seeing van damme. So,it does matter somewhat
I love how he explains how the trophy was made.about the size and the cup.
“Cup is a Yiddish word for brain or head. Meaning don’t have such a big head about this “
This is a great explanation …
It's really interesting how Sky Benson's memory of the footage is in line with what Dux says about his fights. There was THE Kumite, like a normal tournament, but that's not hundreds of fights. There's all these little fights that they would record for posterity, less gambling and more skill sharing, sizing each other up and setting who gets to go on.
I trained with Dux for a few years back in the 80’s at his Woodland Hills dojo. He told us during the filming of Bloodsport, that it was a low budget Cannon film, and that it was embellished with things that didn’t really happen, consolidated some events, and left some of the events out completely, so when we see it, just keep that in mind.
Please interview Matthew Polly and start exploring the myth and mysteries of Bruce Lee in the same way you explored the myths and mysteries of Frank Dux.
This is a really good idea! I'm tired of feeling like I have to correct ppl when they talk like Bruce Lee was just an actor AND correct the ppl who talk like he is a God lol.
@@treadstoned9915 Yup. The material is all out there. Matthew Polly's brilliant book "Bruce Lee: A life" goes into so much detail. The "Kung Fu Genius" Alexander Richter is also a brilliant source of information about Bruce and Ip Man.
Bruce Lee's life is so much more fascinating than a lot of the crap fans/haters make up about him. He's a brilliant but flawed man.
Viking Samurai just needs to get in there unpack it all.... before Joe Rogan does.
" Blood sport was just a move"
So I see you have chosen death!
Oh sweet! Been waiting for part 2 of "Crouching Seagull, Hidden Ducks".
Frank Dux created Bloodsport. We owe him our gratitude. Thank you, Frank.
Get him back on always love hearing him talk! And Merry Christmas to everyone in here!! Train hard 💪
This was nice to see these interviews again. Pasting it all together now that the story has been told from Dux and everyone else. This is legitimate. I don’t understand how people keep underestimating Frank Dux and his story entirely. I think that since people have been so against Dux’s words and story they now don’t know what to do since it’s been explained as such through your channel. People are too afraid to apologize or retract their statements because of pride. Thanks for keeping it real with your interviews especially Dux who has your help in defending him at times when sharing his martial arts history. Thank you Samurai🙏🏼
dux has never proven anything.
IMO Frank Dux is a genuinely skilled martial artist with a very creative mind and impressive list of accomplishments. Your videos have provided excellent information about him.
For sure also best wishes to viking samurai! 😏👍
Its funny. No one had a problem when they said it was Frank Dux based on a true story in the movie. He was a legit fight choreographer, he ran his own dojo, created his own art form etc etc etc. But now it is such a big issue.
Now what Frank says about turning a solid blow into a glancing blow is absolutely accurate and true and it would be something I'm not seeing being taught in today's martial arts..
Always great content. Viksam is always on point
This is great this is great u know, it's good to have an open mind about issues & analyse them for urself.🧠 Which is 1 of the things I love about ur takes.
I must add, Rorion, Big John, Art, and others who witnessed the altercation have said that Zane didn't sucker punch Frank with anything he just simply beat Frank up. Also, Frank says Chuck Liddell was there and got involved. UFC 1 was in Colorado in 93. Chuck was a college student in California at that time. He didn't get to the UFC until 5 years later
🤣 the man has no shame.
Great Episode! This was a very meaty and well put together segment brother. I’ve been so frustrated with the Dux Bashing from people who were suppose to love him. Thank God Master Dux is his own man…. He will call his students to stand against this type slander and bullying. 🇺🇸🙌🏻
Really enjoying the series, man.
Nice! You'll get in part 3 Phil! lol
@@VikingSamurai -- I kind of figured, ha ha.
If only we can get Van Damme in here that would be epic!!!
I love what you do it is Amazing 👏 all my friends I have sent them your videos love them! You are doing awesome content keep it going. Talk to everyone you can! It's great!
I really understand how hard it is for you at times speaking to all these great people from actors/producer's there friends or coworkers some like eachother some don't and they actually notice your platform and find to get themselves out there for the fans through you and who is a great fan and a great host who has to stay very neutral and I think they already can see this and that your not only a host for them but always for all your followers
Hey Viking, my former Sifu in Wing Chun is good friends with Frank. I asked him about Frank several years back and he told me that Frank is the real deal. He said he trained with him a couple times. My Sifu’s face and body language spoke that he meant what he was saying. He has been in the film industry a little.
2:54 "he'd go out there to ruin my heard-earned reputation" Frank Dux, talking about Viking Samurai
Lol
Amazing series in an amazing channel
Merry Christmas mr. Samurai
Thank you, Merry Christmas Alex!
Defending Dux:
Well he had a pretty good mustache...
He really did !
I think everyone should settle it in the ring
Bisbing also won the title from a prime Luke Rockhold with only ONE eye👁 !!
It's obvious he has martial arts skills so he's not a fake martial artist but maybe he embellished some stuff and exaggerated and told some good stories but regardless he gave us one of the best martial arts movies of all time. So he deserves at least some respect and credit.
He keeps diverting your question. Smoke and mirrors,,,just answer the question, nevermind your philosophy,,,,I admire you bro,,keeping a straight face
He got hit with brass knuckles that he didn’t see coming? Wow so much for echolocation.
Cool Puma shirt - made in Germany! 😊
I had a seminar with Frank Dux and he was really nice person and quick teaching many concepts and techs!
He have his perspective, which you can adapt fast to! (the12 angles and so on)
I wish him the best! 😏👍
I dont know if this has been brought up and or discussed, but it would be real interesting to hear from JCVD himself in regards to Dux. Now I know theyve all had a falling out with eachother, but Sheldon still does speak well and gives credit his due in some of your interviews with him.
In short, just saying it would be great to learn what and where JC does give Frank his due credit.
Happy Holidays to you VS and everyone with peace, love and happiness!
How can I dislike a man that inspired the movie Bloodsport? I like the dude, even if he may have made up the story. I’m not saying he lied. But who cares? That movie is a classic and it’s because of him.
Happy festivus 🤘y'all have a badass day🤘🎄🎅🎄🤘🍻🤘
It is easy to accuse someone without evidence; a lack (or little) evidence of something, is not in itself evidence. Carl Sagan said, “Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence”. However, Sagan also said, “Extraordinary claims, require extraordinary evidence”. From what I’ve seen, Frank is offering up more evidence than his accusers. Time will only tell.
If you brought out a Viking samurai t-shirt that was more logo than picture I would buy it brah
I'll get some new merchandise out
Merry Christmas to all, I am going to reserve my comments for the summary .
It has been an interesting series, and this has been absolutely non partisan.
Job well done
Everyone and I mean everyone at that Karate expo where Zane Frazier kicked the snot out of Frank Dux all said they witnessed Frank throw the first punch, and Zane cleaned his clock. Zane was cleared of any wrong doing and not charged by the District Attorney because all the witnesses were telling the same story where Frank Dux tried to throw the first punch and got his clock cleaned by Zane Frazier for his efforts. Now a moment of silence to remember the poor table that was smashed by Frank Dux flailing body that was thrown on top of it by Zane Frazier.
The topic is always interesting, especially the Mandela effect part.
First off, new to your channel following. Dig your stuff. Have a safe and happy holiday. Second, on Frank Dux, what is the big deal really. If he is bending the truth me personally, I dont think its really a big deal. Take the guy for face value and came up with a really cool story to have bloodsport made. One of the best action movies ever.
Dux does not need any defending. His powerful dim mak can defend him, catch bullets and even, create a shidoshi who never really exists.
Thanks for posting. Much respect to you for keeping it neutral. I do have to say that if Van Damme didn't do Bloodsport, I don't think any other actor would have made an impact like Van Damme did. He had the IT Factor.
Also true👍
Another great video. Well done. I've been hard at work with my content. I can respect the level of time and dedication it takes you to produce these videos. I am learning how much effort it takes! Be sure to stay tuned for part two of my Rating Dux Ryu series where I will discuss Lineages, Systems, Styles, & More! All according to my own experiences working with the Ryu and with 26 years in Martial Arts. That plus more Coming Soon.
I will say after watching several dux-ryu videos that their training seems pretty legit in certain aspects. Some of their like combos or whatever are not as effective as maybe they are showing in demonstration but they also do live training they call randori and pressure testing with full strikes and takedowns and everything.
Rules of Kumite - everyone fights with everyone in turns. After KO, you are still fighting. So after a few fights, the fighters are nearly comatose... Imagine someone punched you, lights out, and then after you wake up, you are immediately going for another round. Sounds legit 🤦♂
Definitely need Frank back on..
Maybe we can finally ask him about that whole eye patch faze ???
@@dustencross357 too much anime
@@Chef_Alpo I was hoping for a freaking robotic eye...
@Dusten Cross I believe that was from his brain tumor injury after and was recovering
Also too I met Frank Dux in NYC at a martial arts show
Merry Christmas Viking, to you and your family.
Thank you, Merry Christmas Rodney to you and yours.
You do it for the entertainment effect. It is all good. You cant be friends with everyone.
I understand.
I love your content. 💪😊
The best ninja item,was the spike hands to climb walls.ha
Although Bloodsport made Frank a celebraty, it also did a lot of damage to his reputation. The Holywood bullshit that came with it, has exaggerated and embellished the story to the point of un- believability. There are so many untruths in the movie.
Have great Christmas
Thanks, Merry Christmas to you too!
Thank you
As far as dodging bullits is concerned; it's ahrder than you think to hit a moving target. I'm with Frank on this. Why do you think police are taught to say 'Don't move?' Because a moving target is hard to hit.
"They put the olympic rings on the trophy as a joke". Oh c'mon frank
Wow. So a man named Senzo Tanaka existed, this proves everything 😂😂 16:34
I knew frank when we were in high-school. One day in class, Frank shat out a turd nugget and named it Senzo Tenaka. He wiped and listened to Turd Tenaka.
The line forever was that he got the name from James Bond... I get what ur saying but everyone said the man wasn't real at all. Proof of his existence and that he lived where Frank said did add some realistic gloss to his bullcorn
I want to hear about when frank fought goro.
i rather have Frank Dux training me then to a person telling me you can beat Van Damme, Jai White, Viking in sametime 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol
Frank Dux is a national treasure!
Shidoshi Dux gave us the greatest martial arts film in history 'Bloodsport!'
No way. Enter the Dragon is the best IMO. Bolo was in both
No Frank Dux - No Bloodsport with Van Damme. Even someone who is so called fake can inspire people to live their dreams and that's real.
Have you made any headway towards interviewing JCVD? I know you interviewed his son, and was hoping he put in a good word.
(Also) Who is on your top 10 list of interviews you would like to do?
If I get any of the 4 guys on the mount Rushmore of action I'll be delighted! I really feel I'll get at least 1 of them next year, most likely Seagal.
@@VikingSamurai Seagal would be great.👍
Ask Frank Dux to show the tapes with him on Kumite!
He claimed 56 knockouts in a row.
In matches that last on average...in his own words...18-30 seconds. Matches which was "decisive, very east to see the winner".
Mike Tyson's fastest knockout was Marvis Frazier in 30 seconds. Who were these bad asses that were such amazing fighters they earned the distinction of being invited to such a prestigious fight to only last 18 seconds? Truman Capote? Pee Wee Herman? Gary Coleman?
Or are these people who didn't move around, didn't try and find range, didn't block and just went toe to toe? Or, as most people would call them: REALLY BAD FIGHTERS
And what is particularly weird about this statistic? Frank's own claim that on the first day the fight is conducted on a 12x12 foot platform which is there "to allow circular movement".
Maybe he just hit their head all the time? Oh wait, no! He said in the Black belt article you have to work the body to save your hands hurting.
It says in the original article if you want to fight in the kumite your instructor MUST be a member of the I.F.A.A. a secret organisation, which would mean his opponents were drawn from a very small pool of people. How could these people possibly be considered the best of the best? Oh, and how was Frank's teacher in November 1975 who was in the kumite? Not the teacher he now claims is someone who died in L.A. during Sepember 1975. Maybe he was allowed special discompensation for that year, but according to Frank's website, he continues to fight in kumite matches until 1980.
When asked why anyone would put themselves through the big dangerous event, he said it was a test of one man's style over anothers...in 18-30 seconds bouts...as any fight trainer will tell you, 30 seconds fights is all you need to learn to be a better fighter. Oh wait...no...they say the opposite.
OK, so let's assume he wasn't fighting a High School Girls netball team and they were actually grown men, we're told they didn't use names and it was all secret. That part of this was about saving face, and part of it was keeping people's techniques secret....but they gave Frank movies of the fights. Because, obviously, nothing says 'let's keep this anonymous' than sharing the film footage. Film footage that today he says is scarce, but also claimed there were 16 cameras recording in the original Black Belt magazine article.
Then of course, to keep it extra specially secret the secret organisation make a 2 foot trophy for Frank. One he now claims was a gag made just for him. That's a funny gag, because if we wind back to the original Black Belt magazine he said 'the trophy is never really the property of the winner, and it's value makes it worth keeping in a secure place'. Was he referring to the 'comedy value'? Clearly he kept it very safe, by leaving it in his school overnight where the dumbest criminals ignored this valuable trophy in favour of his old home recoded VHS tapes. Anyone who has had a break in knows they'll take your TV and your VHS, but they don't in the process say "let's take the time to gather up these all personally recorded VHS tapes too!". Oh, we're sure Frank will try to claim they were stolen because the thieves knew what was on them, but then why would they leave a trophy they knew was 'valuable'...?
Then there is the footage which "might be him, he can't tell, and AI says it is". Well, this is easy. It's a big event. It has sponsorship. It has a big audience.This is not one of his top secret anonymous events organised by his girlfriend who you wouldn't know because she lived in Canada, it's a public one. It was also after 1980, wikipedia says so according to Frank, and according to the records on his website (300 1978, 329 1980), he wasn't doing that much fighting in the twilight of his career. So all he has to do is name the non-top secret 'nobody saw' tournaments he won at the end of his career, and then we can narrow it down. Also, as DragonDon points out, if the fights were secret to avoid people seeing techniques, how does Frank not recognise his own techniques on film?
That's before we get to those records which apparently were measured using 100 FPS cameras. Some of those records are entirely possible to calculate from camera frames, because they are meaningless. A slow punch starting from a smaller distance away would register as quicker than a quick punch from further away. Therefore, it's not the "fastest recorded punch", it's the punch with the least time travelled from start to end.
There is also the problem that at 100fps, if a round lasted more than 2.5 minutes, they'd have to stop the fight to change the films in all the cameras. 1000 feet of film gives about 11 minute recording at 24 fps. It does not record for long at 100fps. Although, according to Frank, these people don't know how to duck, block, or fight from range. So this may not be a problem as long as we are prepared to make the assumption the people at this tournament couldn't actually fight.
But the near impossible one is the kick record. Or to quote Black Belt magazine "fastest recorded hook-kick (72 MPH)". You can work out how quick a punch was thrown from start to end by using film, but to know miles per hour, you need to know speed and distance. That means clever geometry to work out from where they were stood, relative size, how much distance was covered. That means looking at different films from different angles.
But now here is the hardest part. He claimed it was the fastest recorded 'Hook kick'. That is what he says in Black Belt magazine. That's not a single velocity. The leg doesn't go in a single direction on a hook kick. How many of the people on the National Geographic doc. tried to measure their hook kick? If they did, the accelerometer would have recorded the fastest point the leg was moving, because there would be acceleration and deceleration. To get this right using 100fps cameras, you would need to calculate the distance on every frame.
Assuming the world record wasn't just for hook kicks, that means more calculations for every kick in this tournament. It would take so long and involve so much effort, it wouldn't get close to being financially viable. Take 1975 film viewing technology, four 100 fps flims that you have to match up, and then do all the maths to work out the distance for every kick, and see how long it takes to get those numbers from one fight...it's logistically ridiculous.
Then there are the number of fights. "We can work it that way" says Frank. How about he describes how it actually went down, not talk about how it's possible to do it differently. Were the Lightweights and Middleweights he referred to in the Black Belt magazine article fighting over the same 3 days? Perhaps then we can get down to how many mats there were and how many cameras per-mat, and ultimately how many fighters had how many fights over those days.
That's before we get down to the top secret final day held out in the open on a roof...
I respect VikingSamurai's argument for having Frank on. Frank coming up in conversation on this channel, and people are being negative about him. It's proper to give him a right of reply. I also respect the argument that there is no point in being combatative with him when he comes on. But there is nothing to respect in suggesting that there is some truth in the story of the kumite. None of it makes sense, and the bits that come close are new variations on the original story.
Great stuff! :)
I like that you try to stay neutral. That's what a person with a platform should do but I just don't believe Frank and his supporters. I didn't buy what Sky was selling the first time and hearing it again just reinforces my opinion. He never actually says that it was Frank fighting in the kumite footage he was shown. He just keeps saying " a couple guys" were fighting in the "scenes". Seems off to me. Also, Frank told Black Belt magazine that the kumite was in the Bahamas but in your interview Adam clearly says "I can't confirm Frank went to Japan and fought in the kumite". Anyone who has been caught up in telling lies knows that it's hard to keep the details straight
I understand "anger by association." Police officer Zachary Wester destroyed a lot of lives. His church and his wife stood by him during his trial. It was hard not to think that there was something wrong with that church. But that's what churches do when one of their own falls. Help them go back to the light.
Believing something is true doesn't make it the truth.
Get Frank Dux, Ashida Kim, Irving Soto. Along with Alan goldberg, Don Wilson,
Thank you sir. Could you look into what happened to Pinkman MMa?
9:10STOP THE CAP 🤦🤦🤣🤣
So he koed a guy after getting koed. He had a little bit of a knockout and submission in Mexico. I think he got discharged from the military for "flighty" thinking.
The alleged son of Phillipe Cadoratte who published footage in a website not exist now, everything deleted and the man disappeared.The footage was from a 1980 tournament which Dux fought,it is not from the 1975 Kumite in Bahama, Nassau.Many people not believe Dux due to lack of footage.But the man fought underground fights and how a person can reveal all footage from underground fights?There is brutality and you can't upload brutal videos in social media openly.If he killed someone accidentally in those fights he can go to jail if footage came.And this is the reason Dux shown his most fight footage to his senior students who are reliable and trustworthy.I am sure before his death he will publish the truth in front of people.
37:45 Ah, Mesopotonia. Such a nice place
Love the content
I just found out the multiple repeated camera shot for 1 hit (in different angles) that has been a trademark for mark di salle movies is actually Frank Dux effort. (Some people dislike it but god i really love it). I used to think that is mark di salle or Sheldon Lettich thing. It goes on up to double impact...the last fight in death warant...and goes on to the blistering Perfect Weapon. Frank didnt involve in those later movie right?
Ps* why u never talk about Death Warrant? That last fight with patrick kilpatrick is so awesome
I think that was more Van Damme's idea and influence with the editing, which was prominent in his early films like Bloodsport, Kickboxer, Cyborg, Lionheart and Death Warrant.
Good job 👏 👍
It's funny how many things can be real if you take the theatrical magic out of it.
As much as I may doubt Some of Dux's claims, he certainly makes for an engaging interview. He should have stayed in the movie making business, and kept writing stories for more action/martial arts flicks; I think it's a natural fit for him.
Fishing in a barrel. I knew it. I knew there was a very simple explanation for Mr. Dux's kumites.
Im a Masterclass level, Chinese combat arts Fighter. Once you master short range power... Knocking fighters out is very easy to do. One time, I was at an Open-House sparring event, at a Jujitsu school. The fighters there were being extremely disrespectful... So, I decided to teach them a lesson. I proceeded to knock out 3 of their best Blackbelt level fighters, one after the other. All on the first Exchange, as they stepped in to try to grapple me... with my mostly extended lead hand vertical fist, to their foreheads. I never used any more than about 15% of what I was capable of delivering. Each strike was also less than 6 inches worth of movement / runway. Back then, I could have done it with less than 2 inches. And with bare fists... I would have only needed a single inch (the gloves dissolve a lot of the Initial impact forces).
The whole 70mph kick thing was funny. Often, they dont measure limb movements in MPH. They typically measure in Feet Per Second. As well as in "Impulse" (the amount of impact power, per fraction of second time-frames). I believe on Fight Science, that they clocked a Kungfu womans Snake Strike, at like 32 feet per second. They said it was actually faster than a Cobras strike. Personally, I have launched kicks that are faster than some people can Jab. Its virtually invisible to the eyes ability to visually detect... until its already done its job, and is half way on the way back to the floor. You can do this, without "Telegraphing", by keeping all of your mass over your rear leg.... which allows the lead leg to be completely weightless... able to be launched with your highest potentials of acceleration. The fastest of these, is a Toe-Stabbing kick (straight vector).
Competition fighting (over-hyped sparring), is very little like actual barefist encounters. Besides the gloves giving the fighters artificial defensive abilities (two gloves take up nearly 1 cubic foot worth of 3d space)... and taped wrists to keep them from bucking under impact forces.... these fighters often spar on rubberized mats, to protect them as they hit the ground. In fact, I believe the actual UFC ring also has a spring based shock absorption system, to further reduce potential fall damage. In reality, if you get clocked and your head hits hard pavement... you can easily suffer brain damage... or outright deth. And some of these MMA takedowns? And ground work? They would often end up injuring themselves, trying to attempt these things on the pavement.
I met an MMA fighter, whos middle knuckle was driven 1cm in towards his wrist... because he tried the old Ground and Pound.. when in a real street fight. He got on top of the dude, and punched him in the head.. but since there was no gloves, and no rubberized flooring... all of that impact force went from his fist, into the skull.. then the pavement.. and then right back into his own fist. Gave him a Permanent disfigurement... and man, was it every ugly looking. It doesnt help, that these fighters never Condition their fists... making them far more likely to suffer injury.. on even partial level impact forces.
I cant speak to Dux's skills... as Ive never seen him train, teach, or fight (as such, Im not really defending the dude). But I can attest to several decades of hardcore fighting experience, as well as a lot of Jealous and Ignorant artists, trying to call me out as a liar, as well as trying to Twist my own words around. Heck... even when Ive went up against these types of fighters in sparring events... they get PISSED when they are completely shut down. One dudes face turned visibly bright red, with pure and utter rage. That particular fighter was nearly 3 times my size, if had would have been able to hit me... I swear I would have been blasted out of the 3rd story window, from the sheer mass forces involved.
As skilled as many of these big name fighters are... most of them have never once, had a bare-fist encounter. Most have never fought a man outside of their weight and strength class. Most do not have any Bare-Fist conditioning. And most have never done any Iron-Body training (being able to take a heavy hit, without bruising / damages).. outside of some Shin conditioning. They have often never done any Multiple Attacker training, let alone... any weapons training. They have a seriously Over-Inflated idea, of what their actual combat skills are capable of... and if you mention such a comparison... they get Butthurt REAL Quick. Its like you are challenging their Cult based Religion. They will then try everything they can, to try to trash your reputation.
That said... back in the day, when I spared some of these dudes... there were many whom were seriously impressed... and whom even cross trained with me a few times, to try to learn some of what I was teaching. Not every fighter... is petty, jealous, and close minded.
Ohh, and one more thing... About the comments about the ability to Dodge Bullets + Responses about Dropping your center of Gravity...
In properly performed Wing Chun, you learn to bend your knees to the point where your knee is directly over your toes. This lowers your center of gravity.. and creates greater stability, gives you the ability to absorb various forces better (using the bending of the legs like shock absorbers - similar to downhill skiing), and also... can allow you to shift your body mass much faster.
Watch the Movie "Remo Williams". When Remo is first tasked with taking out the old man (Chun)... Chun uses an almost textbook Wing Chun stance, and when fired upon, shifts his body in a slant, with pretty decent speed (for an actor that likely didnt have much training time under him). As said, its highly unrealistic to state that you could ever dodge a bullet. But its not unrealistic to say that you might be able to read the OPs arm movements, and be able to shift your head out of the way, just enough to prevent being "Terminated". 9 times out of 10... and you still might get popped... but its not too hard to believe that someone managed to pull it off, at least once.
What about Karate` 100 man fight event???? One man fights 100 men one at a time!
I was in the Ryu during the 80's
Bro, this is completely off the subject of frank dux. In "Missing in Action 2 the beginning" the final fight between Chuck Norris and the Vietnamese Col Tran. Was the actor who played Col Tran a legit martial artist? I'm watching where Frank said he got offered a billion dollars to fight. Part 3 is next
So I guess Frank dux is legit. So if all this really did happen then I apologize. But again I also listen to both sides and keep an open mind
Whatever the case, you are trying to be objective. That's all anyone could ask when approaching this subject from a third party perspective. On regards to how truthful these claims are?..... I'd go 50/50 on the real.
Hello, Viking Samurai. I've never been against Frank, but I don't believe everything he says. I'm sure he's a beast in his own right. It's important to be honest. However, when you're like a - Ninja, Assassin, Special Ops, and protected various Presidents, I guess not. 🤷♂️
TERRANCE OUT
I've watched all of these lately. Dux makes strange, exaggerated claims quite often. But life has been stranger than his stories on more than one occasion.
-It's not unreasonable to assume a criminal org was hosting fights in secret, because the Yakuza did it publicly with PrideFC and got away with it for a long time. The Bahamas is also a central hub for organized crime. They have one of the highest crime rates on earth, but only about %1 of that is documented in detail by the RBPF.
-A few guests have told stories just as unusual, and they seem to just be accepted as fact without any real investigation. Paco Prieto claimed in your interview that a lot of his fights were with extremely dangerous criminals, and that the Mexican FBI was setting up those fights. The comments on that interview totally ignored that.
-I looked into Phillipe Cadoret. Phillipe Cadoret has no record. Phillipe Cadoret has no documents or footage of his alleged fights. Phillipe Cadoret likely does not even exist, and the old viral kumite footage is probably actually Frank Dux. If there is proof that Cadoret exists that isn't just "The kumite footage" then I've failed to find it.
-Some of the idiots who are reported to have been at the Kumite are actual Bullshido practitioners who believe in no-touch knockouts so flooring 100 of them probably wouldn't be very difficult if their opponents have any real martial arts experience.
-Claims to have saved children from pirates. The Bahamas is in the Carribean, where the Republic of Pirates was founded. As recently as 2016, it was reported that pirates were attacking yachts around the area. If it's still happening, it was probably also happening in the 80s and 90s.
-The CIA has erased the records of thousands of men over the years. To do what they do, they hire people to do unusual things, and those things are never disclosed to the public.
