The kumite footage looks like it could have come from any regular karate tournament. It didn't scream underground fighting ring to me.

"Out of 300 special agents assigned to South East Asia he was the only one to make it out alive" 🤣😂🤣🤣🤣

Frank Dux is a legend...........in his own fantasy world.

Kinda looked like a Karate competition to me lol

That footage probably belongs to a regular Karate championship

That was a kyokushin karate fight. Please youtube them. Nothing to do with frank dux's imaginary kumite

Frank Dux - "I have to keep everything confidential, I took an oath." Also Frank Dux - "Here's a movie script based on these events." Total fraud. Great JCVD movie though

I can't believe this guy has a following, got to be the same people who believe the earth is flat😂😂😂

Frank: it’s not a movie about violence Interviewer: then what’s it about? Frank: it’s about a competition where people fight and get killed.

funny for a secret event the Kumite seemed to take place in a huge arena such as the Budokan in Tokyo. Still not convinced.

The quality of "actual kumite" is so bad, this could be a fragment of International Karate on C64 :) I thought they used state-of-the-art cameras to record his "fastest kick"...

Frank Dux is undefeated,because he kicked the crap out of all his imaginary opponents.Good job!

Now I'm gonna have to watch Bloodsport again tomorrow!

Ninja secrets lmao You can tell Frank believes the bullshit he spews out.

Oh man, this is so cool to see a featurette about Bloodsport from back in the day! I've seen most of the JCVD interviews out there but this is a new one for me!

i remember this bumper on showtime when i was a kid. loved showtime,Hbo and Prism. BUT out of 300 special agents sent to Asia….only Frank made it back alive…come on bro… you don’t believe that shit……right? lol

"I never kiss an tell, I took an oath" Frank Dux (Proceeds to write screenplays and books on the Kumite).

the only thing great about this video is the 80's aesthetic and the background songs used.

See if you can get Sheldon Lettich to post that Firefight film he made!

reallly great to see !!! bringing back all these great feelings of the past - theres no one like JCVD and the spirit of bloodsport -

The only guy with a record like Frank's is Charlie Zelenoff...

The "kumite" footage is footage of a karate tournament. The banner in the background reads "全世界空手道選手権大会" World karate championships.

Lol……what an amazing propaganda film for Frank Dux! Love the voiceover guy!! 329 straight matches….😂

Viking Samurai a true fan of 80's,90's action flicks.Great one 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼great piece.

good find. i always enjoy watching rare videos like this.

Thankyou Viking Samurai

Wow, what awesome content!! Great post Viking Samurai! 🙌🏻

Been looking for this forever, thanks for the upload!

This footage is awesome. Thanks for the upload

Just that VHS video shaking alone, took me back to my childhood 📼 LoL

No, sir. It was a movie about fighting

The Kumite footage looks like a Kyokushin Knockdown Tournament possibly the world championships held every 4 years in Tokyo.

Jeffery Strompf has a KZfaq channel (with no videos). And apparently he was a diet technician. Not a cryptologist.

That kumite footage looks like a JKA tournament

That "real kumite footage " is kyokushin karate tournament, and its clearly that the reff is late Loek Hollander from Holland.

That’s not footage of a death match Kumite it was a couple second clip of a very ordinary inside crescent kick that looked like full contact sparring. It’s not even as impressive as Philippe Cadoret’s very normal karate tournament that Frank claims is him. We are supposed to be seeing bikers and ninjas and Frank wore bicycle shorts and people are being thrown off of 3 storey rooftops. Not two guys in normal gi throwing sloppy techniques. I want to see footage of ANYTHING that resembles Frank’s bullshit stories, not footage of anything I can see at a dojo on any given day. The only thing any of Frank’s evidence proves is that during the age of 20-30 he practiced enough from magazines and watching movies that he could hold his leg up in the air and throw several roundhouse kicks mixed in with a hook kick or two without putting his leg down. That’s impressive and takes lots of stretching. But it’s something almost anyone can learn on their own and it is 100% in affective in a fight. Nobody has ever won a fight with that move it’s only great in movies. VS - You know this from training and having the ability to do it yourself. Every kick gets exponentially weaker and you leave yourself completely vulnerable. Does anybody have any footage, even a still frame of Frank Dux fighting in bicycle shorts like he claims he did? I’ve yet to see a single photo of him doing so yet that’s what he says. That he was “famous for wearing them”. You know, like all secret men are….secret ninjas that are secretly trained, secretly brought in the CIA and secretly fighting in death tournaments….you become famous for wearing bicycle shorts, you become famous for not being married and get Knick names for it. You become known for things. Every “Secret Man” knows this. Gotta love how he claims he swore to secrecy in this very video to the things he’s talked non stop about and made his living off of.

His kicking abilities were just about or below average - highly doubtful spot about his "records". It's funny how the guy that is acting him is a hundred times better than him. I probably wouldn't get some hearts.

I remember this from when I was a kid. The tracking skipping at the end made this feel authentic lol

great find..Again ive never seen someone look so differently from 30s to older like Dux. He is pretty unrecognizable ..Rather real or not we got a great film and a LEGEND with Van Damme and decades of stories,debates and he said she said goodness lol..Thanks man.

everything about this guy screams bullshit but blood sport is still a great film and JCVD made it magic

Commentator: This is actual footage of the real kumite. Me: But the referee is a suit and tie white guy.

Props to the narrator for keeping a straight face while reading his lines. 👍

That was the most Wonky looking kick I've ever seen... real Kumite footage = basically sparring. When Nate Diaz was 15 he fought a grown man bare knuckle at an MMA gym.....

One of the best martial arts movies of all time!

Wow cool trailer. I like Mr Frank Dux words.. "It's Not About violence. It's about human beings and respect"

Good joke :) This footage from Japanese Kyokushin Karate tournaments. They censored faces, because we can find this fighters (it was Official tournaments) =)

Hmmm.... so in the real footage there's a referee in a shirt and tie waving a flag to call point????? What???? Looks like point karate to me.

There's something about the background music that makes you wanna workout

This guy claimed that the first UFC event had too many rules lol I'm sure Royce would've been shaking in his Gi if he had to face Ducks... 🤣🤣🤪

That tiny little bit of real kumite footage. Yes I remember seeing that. It was an amateur taekwondo tournament in Idaho when I was a teenager. I remember

I love this. Bloodsport, American Ninja, and the movies like them played such formidable role in my life. From starting martial art back in the 80s to my course of study in college. I have to laugh though at the lack of knowledge about Japanese and/or Asian history which is really such a product of that time period. "Techniques that date back 2000 years to the time when Genghis Khan ruled the orient.". Ninjitsu development likely does date back to roughly the time of Genghis Khan, but that is closer to 800 years. Martial arts, ninja, and eastern Asia had such a mystic feel to them back in the 80s. I do not think there is an equivalent for the children of today's generation, unfortunately.

Andy from SA thanks for the upload brother

Amazing i wish this went on for hours, " Techniques that date back two thousand years, to a time when Genghis Khan ruled the orient and nutritious Ninja warriors roamed Japan earning the reputation as the worlds first secret agents". Its the bloodsport music that is selling it, the voice over etc, VHS quality, takes you back, excellent.

Jesus, his cryptographer guy was lying so hard that he was super nervous. There’s tells everywhere.

Now I have to watch Bloodsport lol

I'v only been able to find this docu in German, would love to see the full thing in English.

It looked like any standard karate tournament that you would've seen in back in the 70's or 80's. For all we know that may have not even been Dux fighting. It was kinda blurry. I dunno, just too many things that don't make sense with this guy.

Man this is just so special...

Great vid remember seeing this yrs ago, Franks friend said after that he was liaring to help him promote himself and the movie. Jcvd young in his prime, shame we all have to get old.

The Actual Footage, looks very Questionable, it just looks like they grabbed something from just a random Full Contact Martial Arts Tournament with 2 fighters wearing the same Gi, quite possibly from the same school.

Frank talks like Segal lol, same tone and raspiness!!! That footage looks like it came from an old Sabaki tournament they used to have advertised in Black Belt and other magazines, not sure if it is still going on but that's what it seems like:) Bloodsport was a good movie, inspired me to train in Wing Chun, and explore Martial arts, I'm sure there were underground competitions all over the place back then before MMA and such, as Frank explained in your other interviews, interesting stuff!! James

1:58 Jeffrey Strompf scratches the back of his neck. When you lie you get an itch.

That was awesome, takes me back to the good old days and it was cool seeing Frank Dux snapping those kicks out there into that bag, I've personally never seen footage of him doing that👍

Bring's back memories of my early youth.

I can do it, teach me. Thanks for the upload, even with the glitchy VHS quality it still is pretty good at the BTS.

Search this on youtube: "Karate championship 1969 and 1963 Rare Video", it looks very similar to this. My guess is that Dux was asked to provide some footage of the "real kumite" for the promotion of the movie and he just sent some footage from a Karate tournament in Japan. Since the quality is so bad and the video so short, one can't tell it is not Dux.

Cool to see interviews with a young frank dux and van damme looked so excited and happy in his interview at the beginning of his career.

Why does he say he doesn't kiss and tell and took a secret oath and plans to honor it, won't confirm or deny anything... but then makes a movie about it 👀

That was some glitchy old film

OMG this is an amazing movie trailer !! I never have seen this . Thanks brother for sharing !! 🙏👍

This movie has the best soundtrack ever

Kumite!! Kumite!! Kumite!! Love this video!! Love Bloodsport!!🥋💪👍

THIS IS SO AWESOME VIKING! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR FINDING THIS!!!!!

I've seen it maybe a year ago and I was Wow.. that's even better than the actual trailer. First 30 seconds really give you a chill.

''It's not about violence''. I mean... It is called ''bloodsport''. Lol.

I don’t believe nothing Frank Dux says, you was so good yet there’s not one fight on tape from this man ? Lmao give me a break, Frank looks young enough in this interview why didn’t he fight in some type of tournament to proof he’s skills to the public ? Good imagination thought cause the movie is good.

Movie needs a director cut.with all unused footage

This reminds me of back in the late 80s/early 90s just discovering martial arts action movies and reading blitz magazines and how exciting those times were as a kid

Frankie Ducks talked about _Asian_ secret societies back then. Not street brawling in the Bahamas.

Thank you so much for uploading this video 😀

Ducks? No, no....it's "Dooooks"

Great film the clip is from a kyokushin tournament

Hey VS! I’ve been trying to hard to find interviews with Paul Hertzog, the man that wrote the music for Bloodsport and Kickboxer, the guy is a genius. I am wondering if you’d ever consider reaching out to him for an interview? I’d love to know what he thinks of Dux and how we recorded the music. I train to the songs from those movies in the gym. Cheers, Eddie

A ninja with "KARATE" schools...hahaha

It’s amazing as I’ve been watching your channel for months made me forget that I was huge van damne fan from my childhood.

Bloodsport is a classic

That video footage was a Kyukushin fight…

This looks great, JCVD Bloodsport the story is a great documentary too

He took an oath? Where did this come from? Frank is so young. He looked like at dancer in the first shot. I see the grace Frank. Ur nothing without haters...

Haku would have done good in kumite

Great video Viking samuri

Awesome, this pumps me up! I gotta find the whole documentary now and do a helicopter kick!

Erm, yes....actual kumite footage.... finally....🤔....yeah so this definitely proves it....🤨

Dude, you 'took an oath and plan on keeping an oath' but you made it into a Hollywood movie!!!???

Great footage, love all the old school martial arts, may have watch Bloodsport again after this 👍

I would love to see a fight between Frank Dux and Count Juan "The Deadliest Man to Ever Live" Raphael Dante

I know people give Frank dux a lot of crap cuz he's fake or whatever, but in all honesty without him..... Bloodsport wouldn't have been made and come to be one of my most FAVORITE martial arts films of all time. So, thanks for your imagination and "story telling" Frankie.... "OK USA!"

This is the best movie ever made with J.C just love it😍😍😍😍😍😍

Im not the man to kiss and tell.... You're just gonna have to wait on my book... Enjoy the movie.

Never knew that this existed. Keep up the great work ❤
