The game they were playing is called "Karate Champ", was big in US arcades back in the late 80s and early 90s. Each player had two 8-position stick controllers (no buttons) and the position of both controllers would determine what move your character did. This allowed for a total of 80 different movements (including standard forward, backward, jump, etc). The game itself played as tournament style fights. Each match was two points, with repeat moves being half point. After Street Fighter came out, this game kind of fell to the wayside, but until then, it was a bread-and-butter game for the arcades. Brought in lots of quarters.

Nagano-san, the style that the main character uses in this movie is supposed to be ninjutsu (or rather Taijutsu) which was Frank Dux said he knew...which of course he didn't. So a lot of the odder movements are probably supposed to represent exotic ninpo techniques. It could also be the reason why they use the open-hand-closed-hand salute you find in many Chinese martial art, because there is an idea that the Japanese learned ninjutsu from the Lin Kuei ("forest demon") assassins who were supposed to have lived in China. I'm not sure if the Lin Kuei were real...most people know them from the Mortal Kombat video games, but the Lin Kuei rumor is even older than the video games.

Hi Reed, in Chinese literatures there are no assassin clans like the Lin Kuei. The pop culture is more of scenarios when a skilled fighter is trying to assassinate people, they will dress up like a ninja, usually in full black, masked up. And they will have the dirtiest secret weapons which no one knows like poison needles, booby traps etc. But there are cultures of chivalrous & treacherous martial arts clans.

A few points JVD trained in Ballet first, then was on the Belgium International Karate team, he took part in tournaments and was a legit fighter at the time, not just a bodybuilder. He did full contact Karate fights and did Kickboxing and fought in the World Championships. He only lost once as a kickboxer in 19 fights. His overall record is 44 fights and 4 losses in both sports. Yeah I had to look his full record up. Another point, the movie was claimed to be based on Frank Dux, who claimed he went through some of this, but it's clear the guy was lying about it later on. It's supposed to be Ninjutsu, not Karate. Either way, it's still a great martial arts movie. Kumite is known as a word, as I think it was used mostly in the West, as Karate and Judo were the first big 'breakout' martial arts. so the early words used in all Western martial arts were Japanese ones due to this

In a lot of western vernacular, Kumite is synonymous with sparring competition (in contrast to forms). In the tournaments I went to in Mexico in the 1990s, it was also even the word used by the referees to start the fight (like “fight” was used in the Karate Kid series). Frank Dux was a con artist with a wild imagination, but not much of a linguist.

The word "kumite" was used in the 70s and 80s as a fancy term for martial arts tournaments in the West, usually for competitions which didn't limit themselves to a single style. It wasn't a super common term but it was known to a decent number of martial artists outside of Japan. Cross-discipline competition was a common thing particularly in the US (where they held "karate" tournaments like the ones in Karate Kid which had people doing all manner of other martial arts and not knowing the difference between that and actual karate). This movie is based on a story told by a well-known fraudster (not so well known to be a fraud at the time) who claimed to have won "the Kumite" which was supposedly a secret international tournament where only the best fighters were invited to compete.

a block from the leg is called a "fork". This block is used in 2 kata (beginning). Now they have already forgotten about it, but in the early 2000s it was taught in self-defense lessons. The simplest and fastest block can be used not only against the leg, but also against the "leg with a hand" (it is also possible against the hands, it will turn out, as in aikido). The film shows very quickly, so not everyone understands this block. The block is done: one hand up, the other down, then the position changes (if you throw the leg over yourself, then there will be a forbidden reception with a fist punch to the ground).

I think it's just something to focus on and coordinate the breath with - in aikijutsu it was that, I think arms to the side and back to the middle.. I forget but I think there were four. In shotokan I was told to do that because I'd pushed too hard and was struggling to breathe deeply. I'm someone who can't meditate in stillness, so I found it helpful then and still now, though now I just do tai chi.

This movie was supposedly the real events of Frank Dux, who claimed to have learned Ninjutsu from a Senzo Tanaka, however, no one has been able to confirm the events or even the existence of Senzo Tanaka who was a Ninja and taught Ninjutsu to Dux.

Bolo Yeung is the Buff guy and he's from Hong Kong. He's a famous Chinese body builder, martial artist, and actor. He's played the villain in many martial arts films. Even acting opposite of the Great Bruce Lee. Even though he's buff (big) he's still fast and athletic when it comes to martial arts movements

@howardteo8330 2 жыл бұрын

The Korean actor, Bolo Yeung is Chinese. His real name is Yang Sze (as per Wikipedia). Bolo is his stage name in one of Bruce Lee's movies. He adopted the stage name after that. He was a professional bodybuilder representing Hong Kong.

I'm loving these! I started watching Cobra Kai recently because of you. :D You should do all of Van Damme's movies. When I was a kid Martial Arts Films were a favorite of mine. American Ninja (and the Sequels). Showdown in Little Tokyo. Cynthia Rothrock... Steven Seagal.. Don 'the dragon' Wilson, just to name a few.

Back in those days Kumite would not have been known what it was but because of this movie everybody knew what the word Kumite meant and I think if I remember correctly the the Triad which I think is a Japanese gang or Mafia is supposed to be helping to hold the Kumite which is why they're using the Japanese word Kumite

The Chinese don't call a tournament Kumite. It is called Rai Tai. 擂台. As in the anime Baki. And usually competitors will sign an indemnity letter.

The trick with the brick ("... bottom one!) is a test for Frank Dux (Van Damme's character) to prove he was trained by a specific ninjutsu Sensei. The strike is supposedly called "Dim Mak" (Death touch).

I have to mention, when Yusuke says traditional Japanese martial arts masters didn't tend to be muscular, many of the great jujutsu and judo masters were. Masahiko Kimura, for example, had the sort of physique many bodybuilders would envy and an incredible level of physical strength to match it. Mitsuyo Maeda, SK Uyenishi and Yukio Tani were all very muscular as well, though not on the level of Kimura.

This movie has a really interesting story behind it. It's supposedly based on a true story, but when you dig into it, the person telling the story is one of those fake martial artist scammers. Frank Dux is the person who claimed this actually happened, but he has zero evidence and if you do the math, he would have had to fight and win something like 70 or 80 full contact fights in one day.

@@Phoboskomboa Basically, Frank Dux was part of a bunch of fraudsters who made up a whole bullshit lore piecing together different martial arts they had access to at the time. Thats why Dux's so called ninjutsu, though meant to be Japanese, has chinese and korean martial arts terms, dress and aspects to it. Is like a fraud claiming he's in a super secret Army Special forces unit but wears a USMC dress jacket, Air Force dress pants, has a Navy Dixie cap and a SEAL trident pin etc etc

Yes, Frank's sensei in the movie is a Ninja master. In ninjutsu they do a combination of different Japanese martial arts, and even some Chinese fighting arts.
