We need more of this in the world. People who disagree having calm conversations, maybe finding common ground or coming to see each others point. Instead of all the flat out hating. I applaud you for getting people on the channel, including Dux, to talk things over like human beings.
I'm actually letting the advertisements play all the way just to support VS as much as I can. Nearly no one i can think of is willing to have conversations with essentially anyone like this guy is. Hats off to you sir.
Excellent as always. It takes a man with no inflated ego to give someone who disagreed with him some time on his channel. An example of a true martial artist, not only skills wise but character wise as well.
This is what I love about this channel. He let's everyone tell their side of the story. I love hearing from all the people. Now if we can only get Van Damme and Seagal on here lol
This was a solid interview. Kudos to you on this one Dave. - What Phil said about Senzo Tanaka is exactly what I said in one of my comments to you on the Senzo Tanaka video with Adam McKinley. Proving someone existed is very different than proving someone trained you.
I love that you’re willing to sit and talk, even with your harshest critic’s. And I love that Mr. Phil Elmore sat and talked with you, and the whole conversation was completely civilized open minded.
Just a correction here regarding “Hogan’s Heroes.” It was about a German POW camp, not a concentration camp. Ironically, the last surviving member of the original cast is Robert Clary. In REAL LIFE, he survived a concentration camp. It is a heart-wrenching account.
He got disarmed by the Viking Charisma haha The bit where you said "I wanted to address this as a funny segue.... Let me just read you some of the comments you wrote about me..." , then Phil in a low tone says "I was harsh..." ie as good as an apology for the stuff he wrote about you. That was brilliant! It was almost like a Ben Stiller moment. And its proof that hatefulness doesn't work, always approach things with positivity, which you seem to do in your communication. Thank you again Viking Samurai for the amazing content.
Definitely proof most people overspeak in their online comment. They say stuff they don't fully believe and when confronted they revert back to saying I didnt mean it or That was too much... Like a child who got busted in the cookie jar saying it wasn't me....
Awesome stuff! In my opinion, this was one of the most enjoyable interviews ever! I love listening to highly intelligent people who have something valid to say. Add a good amount of humour to that and you have a winner. Phil Elmore is both extremely interesting and hilarious! Loved it! Many thanks! :)
Hey what a pleasure! Old school meets new school! I've been following the ever-entertaining world of Frank Dux / Ashida Kim / Black Dragons / MMA vs. traditional martial arts / tacticool / mcdojo / mall ninjas on the internet and CZcams for 10 years now, and Phil Elmore was an OG in that world. I hope you can get some of your interviews and videos back up, Phil, you were good at what you did. Keep up the good work Viking Samurai!
The way people react to you is similar to Joe Rogan. Y’all don’t have to like the guests but the fact that he’s giving these people an open conversation with no discrimination is rare and a chance to look deeper into a situation
Yeah how much backlash you got over Dux was crazy. I always looked at it as you hosting him on the channel, to have a conversation with him publicly. Then we can decide for ourselves if we still believe he’s lying or not. There is a difference between being fair, and saying I believe everything this dude says now. Another great interview man, thanks for the content.
Look, I know part 2 is coming. So if you ask this then you don’t have to answer. Do you know if, when he first started writing he was claiming to study and train? Like his defense was, he has become proficient in martial arts since that early criticism. But he never commented on why he was getting criticism in the first place.
Hello, Viking Samurai. From a financial standpoint, Enter the Dragon is the most successful Martial Arts film ever made. By today's standards, when adjusted for inflation, it's a billion dollar film, because it made $400 million in 1973. Bloodsport while extremely popular, made $50 million. Also, Enter the Dragon is responsible for the big Martial Arts boom in America, that led to Van Damme, Steven Seagal, Chuck Norris, Don The Dragon Wilson, Jackie Chan, Billy Banks, Jim Kelly, Yuen Bio, Donnie Yen, Scott Adkins, Michael Jai White, Tony Jaa, Joe Taslim, Iko Uwais, Cynthia Rothrock, etc. Not to mention, every fighting game has a Bruce Lee character. On a side note, this is a very good video and interview. TERRANCE OUT
Another great interview on your channel Viking Samurai. It would be a cool dream match; FRANK DUX vs. ASHIDA KIM. You could get Steven Lambert to choreograph the match, and have Sheldon L. write the screenplay.
We shouldnt just reject people If we the a problem with Them. Have a talk with Them. I Think it is great that you have these guests. All deserves to be heard. It does not mean you endorse Them
Great video! He's definitely right about avoiding confrontation with internet psychos, you'd be surprised how long they'll dedicate to destroying your careers, hobbies, doxxing you...and so on. Even in something as seemingly childish as video games. Billy Mitchell, Todd Rogers...I'm looking at you two.
Before saying somebody is fraud you have to prove it. People often say someone is fraud out of jealousy. Because if you are in peace you dont need to tell anyone he is fraud even if it's true.
I like this man hé think normal and clear, no fairytails Just clear honest. This is a guy you can let get back and enjoy his way of thinking. Greetings from the Netherlands 🥋 OSU 🥋
I really enjoyed revisiting this. Thank you for your channel and the chats we have had. Like Phil I had assumed you were endorsing Dux. I'm glad we have talked since and that isn't the case. I'm still a fan of your work!
U know what's funni about frank dux he actually was good at judo couple other martial arts and has some real legit tech bro controversial indeed but fun to have on a show ........
Very interesting. I like how Viking handled the interview. Despite sounding pissed off with the comments Phil had made, the questions were asked with grace. I will have to rerun it but curious about the martial arts mentioned. Silat is apparently very difficult to learn, but curious how much Silat is in that hybrid system. A very engaging guest nonetheless and even though a few months old now, this vid and more recent ones really are painting Dux as someone who was born on fantasy Island. Dux would probably make a superb Cardassian lol
You're an awesome dude VS. I don't get why people automatically shutoff and stop actually listening. It's pretty obvious you let these people speak about their perspective on your platform, then let the audience decide what to think. Of course it doesn't necessarily mean you agree/disagree, but you do a great job of keeping the discussion going in a neutral way. If you want milk from a cow, you need to do it the right way. The last thing you wanna do is scare it or stress it out, and now you just screwed yourself.
Definitely one of your best interviews I really enjoyed. I remember in the early in years of martial arts forums where things were explosive and somewhat entertaining. Back then Elmore did come across as the classic "keyboard kommando"...a real A-Hole! 😆 You're a great listener Viking Samurai. *deep bow* 😉
Opinions, ego or narcissistic tendencies, who can say, once again I'll say that I have enjoyed the wide variety of personalities that have been on, the truth is in there somewhere, many will get on the hate train which does become a bit cultish. I actually also watched The Rock again about 6 months ago, great film
So I remember reading about the first 140 of the Mack Bolen books and this guy has a point. The first books by Don Pendleton were really good but by the time you got to some of the later books it became hard to believe Mack was still able to do all of the things they wrote about. Kind of a similar thing to Dux.
Great video! I haven’t seen you discuss many Chuck Norris movies, but maybe I just missed the videos. I loved the Missing in Action movies when I was a kid.
New sub reporting in. Started with the Robin Shou video and now, binging everything. Great channel. Keeping the 80s action film dream alive and teaching us new things about the classics. Keep it up, sir. P.S My friends and I are into martial arts and videogames; loving the Mortal Kombat movie of the 90s; I shared the Robin Shou podcast with them.
Phil Elmore used to post on Bullshido a lot and a lot of the main guys there hated him and always bashed him. There was another nutty guy on youtube called Dan Bowen who would threaten people like he will kill them. He was a cosplayer weirdo and trolled bullshido a lot. This guy had a fued with me once. Phil Elmore talked to me on a chat and he gave me his phone number to talk him about the guy before. I was texting him for a bit before.
@@PhilElmoreDotCom Can’t Wait! I was wondering since you’re in the martial arts what is your pick for the best showcase of any martial arts in a movie and overall who shows the best form and dedication?
Viking you are one of the few people who was able to get an in-depth interview with frank, and even the people who know frank is full of crap wanted to see an interview with him. You shouldn’t. Be ashamed that you did and the way you approached is interview is some of the best psychological warfare I’ve seen to make someone feel comfortable In where they expose themselves.
I agree with @Wespozo. It was never VS intention to lure Frank out and it still isn't. Calling it entertainment was maybe on the edge, but it is the truth. Even Frank should not see it some other way. Doing great VS!!
Phil is HILARIOUS! He has a NYers sense of humor. Having been born and raised in NY he has made me laugh out loud throughout this interview! Awesome VS!
We need a campaign to get a director cut of the crow, especially with the reboot coming out. Maybe a full breakdown video of what could be in the cut, the director talked about a 3 hr version 🤔
Great video viking samurai as always, could you ask if you ever speak to sheldon leditch if he has any idea why bloodsport has never had a proper HD release like on blu ray/4k. I wonder if its a rights issue or something to do with the director/studio strange. Majority of van damme films haven't had proper releases and even the ones that have been released were limited editions as in so many prints. Bit strange seens he's one of the biggest action stars of the 80/90s. Kind regards! Channels growing good stuff! Deserve the success
Watching this and the advertisement that come in was about a fraud selling his chi supernatural powers program.🤣🤣🤣 CZcams is hilarious. Continue the good work viking 👍👍
Entertaining as always. I would like to say more but i have nothing to say cause that is what your videos is. They are not just bringing some cool info to the people, but also entertains them. p.s - Oh wow, look what happened, i found something to say. It looks kinda funny 😅
If your interested in Count Dante and the Black Dragons you should check out Mack Winn on youtube. Mack Winn grew up and trained around the time of the Dojo Wars.
As much as I call Frank Dux "Pinocchio", at least he's not wasting his time talking about other people like so many folks talk about him. To me, Frank Dux is the Jason Blaha of Martial Arts. If you don't know who Jason Blaha is, type his name on the search engine and you'll see the smorgasbord of nonsense and also from folks that waste their existence trying to talk crap about him. I just say "live and let live". If his bs isn't feeding you, making love to you, nor paying you, then who cares?
*Phil Elmore* wrote some of *The Executioner* books? Way to go, Bro! Yes, Marvel Comics based 'The Punisher' on that character. I used to read Remo/The Destroyer & The Executioner in my teens. They've probably been turned into female characters by now... 🙄
That's funny black dragon wasn't count Dante a fraud as well bring Ernie Reyes jr or his father on here and let them talk about the martial arts world that would be interesting
In regards to Phil Elmore. It's been said better than I could... there are so many “martial artists” who are obsessed with “self-defense” or “self-preservation” yet are grossly overweight and clearly unhealthy. These people spend countless hours obsessing over “self-defense scenarios” and love to note, “so I can make it home to my family while my opponent doesn’t.” In reality, obesity and heart disease is going to be the “attacker” that takes these people out. While they eat ice cream and work on ridiculous scenario training, their blood pressure increases, and they are days closer to a stroke. Phil is clearly prescribed Valsartan. These people, as with someone facing another person with a knife, would be better served if they simply learned how to jog or engaged in some light exercises to get their weight down. That’s real self-defense. You can’t do any cool Kali knife traps from the grave. I simply cannot take any “Self Defense” dude seriously if he is grossly overweight and unathletic.
I'm a old man now , I don't train at a gym nor I have a instructor , I don't train for fun , just for protection and self defence . So I don't consider myself a martial artist in any way or form,
David does it really matter about the things Frank claims he's retired now and he is a great humanitarian helping people out and stuff like that so in my book I'm just like who cares
I've noticed you have one of Ellington Darden's books in the background . Have you tried HIT ? Did you make good gains ? Did it work well with your martial arts training , was it benefit or hurt your other training ?
That Darden book on the shelf is the most unique routine I ever did and I gained quite a bit of size. I'll do a video covering it in the future. I do not believe it's HIT, I'll have to look that up. That routine in the book consists of super slow reps, like 30 seconds, for a single rep, not set! Lol
@@VikingSamurai Thanks for the reply , I think another great subject for a video would be balancing weight training , cardio , martial arts , career and family life
The thing to keep in mind with Dux is that his attitude is always that the burden of truth is placed on his critics, not himself. He is the one making all of the claims, but somehow none of the responsibility of proof-providing seems to apply to him. For me, that's a bad look that negates any credibility.
Many have called Phil out on his BS, from him leaving wing chun because they started to spar and that was too dangerous for Phil. But why does he think his only critics come from bullshido/neal fletcher? The ironic thing, is that Phil was a part of McDojo/Bullshido. He posted there and people called him out on his BS, which is why he left. Phil says he wasn't an instructor/martial artist then, but why was he making books on self defense? Phil claims he has a background from some pretty unknown origin "a guy from a guy taught me", besides looking like he is incapable, he avoids hard sparring so he probably can't fight. His own martial art is not even a credible or working martial art. He can't fight and can't teach people to fight. So he should be the last person to take advice on for what is real or what is fake martial arts. People don't move on from Phil the same way Phil doesn't move on from Frank Dux. You're a fraud who the World constantly reminds is a fraud.
"Phil says he wasn't an instructor/martial artist then, but why was he making books on self defense?" Good question. It is a marketing tool. If you want to become and 'expert' and get on shows and make dollars while you sleep, write a short book about what you want to be an 'expert' in, put it out there, solicit interviews and put out adds, then make money while you sleep. It is an old technique. Phil has an answer for every question, even the one's you don't ask. It is a technique to manage the discussion away from uncomfortable areas you don't want to talk about. He is very skilled.
Fraud🤷♂️ Martial Arts is what You want of it. If You think it's all about getting in the ring, or cage ....then get in the ring, or the cage. If it's about just fitness....fine, or self defense....fine. I don't like the word fraud. That's just Me. I fought in the ring....because that's what I wanted 2 do.....I don't hold it against others that don't, or call them a fraud. Matter of fact I know a Doctor that use 2 open spar with Me that was awesome, but He never wanted 2 fight....is He a fraud??? I'm not really explaining Myself how I want. Anyway I hate the word fraud. I know more musicians that are frauds on CZcams than I actually know Martial Artists that are frauds. Great Video 👍😁👍
I'm glad to see you continuing to let the critics tell their side of the story and share their experiences and opinions.
We need more of this in the world. People who disagree having calm conversations, maybe finding common ground or coming to see each others point. Instead of all the flat out hating. I applaud you for getting people on the channel, including Dux, to talk things over like human beings.

This was a solid interview. Kudos to you on this one Dave.
- What Phil said about Senzo Tanaka is exactly what I said in one of my comments to you on the Senzo Tanaka video with Adam McKinley. Proving someone existed is very different than proving someone trained you.
You are probably the most balanced interviewer/commentator in the martial arts community. Keep up the good work.
I love that you’re willing to sit and talk, even with your harshest critic’s. And I love that Mr. Phil Elmore sat and talked with you, and the whole conversation was completely civilized open minded.
Just a correction here regarding “Hogan’s Heroes.” It was about a German POW camp, not a concentration camp.
Ironically, the last surviving member of the original cast is Robert Clary. In REAL LIFE, he survived a concentration camp. It is a heart-wrenching account.
It's awesome you're able to do this. Shows how great of a character you have.
He got disarmed by the Viking Charisma haha The bit where you said "I wanted to address this as a funny segue.... Let me just read you some of the comments you wrote about me..." , then Phil in a low tone says "I was harsh..." ie as good as an apology for the stuff he wrote about you. That was brilliant! It was almost like a Ben Stiller moment. And its proof that hatefulness doesn't work, always approach things with positivity, which you seem to do in your communication.

I'm a fan of Mack Bolan (The Executioner) & Remo and Chiun (The Destroyer)
On a side note, you still got your interview with the "Mt. Rushmore" action star coming up soon?
We'll see, eventually lol
Loving the content and your shirt is fire Mr VS :)
In defense of Kylo Ren; Disney killed Han Solo.
That's funny black dragon wasn't count Dante a fraud as well bring Ernie Reyes jr or his father on here and let them talk about the martial arts world that would be interesting
Pre Dabbleverse Phil in the wild
Some day Ill fight in the kumite and make my father proud
Squeeze in becoming a ninja along the way.
Good video😉
Frank Dux uses any technique that works remember? He keep an open mind.
Viking your good at negotiations and flipping the script. You need to work as The UN Martial Arts Ambassador!!!!
I bet Icy Mike is glad to hear post-prison Ninja Ron was focused more on Phil Elmore. 🤣
I don't think Ron ever really had any negative feelings for Mike, weirdly enough.
Viking Samurai says, "Real quick..." ALOT!!
In regards to Phil Elmore. It's been said better than I could... there are so many “martial artists” who are obsessed with “self-defense” or “self-preservation” yet are grossly overweight and clearly unhealthy. These people spend countless hours obsessing over “self-defense scenarios” and love to note, “so I can make it home to my family while my opponent doesn’t.”
In reality, obesity and heart disease is going to be the “attacker” that takes these people out. While they eat ice cream and work on ridiculous scenario training, their blood pressure increases, and they are days closer to a stroke. Phil is clearly prescribed Valsartan.
These people, as with someone facing another person with a knife, would be better served if they simply learned how to jog or engaged in some light exercises to get their weight down. That’s real self-defense. You can’t do any cool Kali knife traps from the grave.
I simply cannot take any “Self Defense” dude seriously if he is grossly overweight and unathletic.
I'm a old man now , I don't train at a gym nor I have a instructor , I don't train for fun , just for protection and self defence . So I don't consider myself a martial artist in any way or form,
Frank Dux as the final boss in a fighting game, maybe that should be the case instead of M. Bison, but no one would buy it.
Sorry but the bad guy Razor Ramon(S. Hall) is not with us anymore. RIP
George R.R. Martin:"Every villain is the hero of its own story"
This Phil guy can talk His ass off 📴 lol
6:20 I object : Both Doomslayer & Chuck Norris clearly outdo that measly 40 book wannabe
David does it really matter about the things Frank claims he's retired now and he is a great humanitarian helping people out and stuff like that so in my book I'm just like who cares
I've noticed you have one of Ellington Darden's books in the background . Have you tried HIT ? Did you make good gains ? Did it work well with your martial arts training , was it benefit or hurt your other training ?
That Darden book on the shelf is the most unique routine I ever did and I gained quite a bit of size. I'll do a video covering it in the future. I do not believe it's HIT, I'll have to look that up. That routine in the book consists of super slow reps, like 30 seconds, for a single rep, not set! Lol
@@VikingSamurai Thanks for the reply , I think another great subject for a video would be balancing weight training , cardio , martial arts , career and family life
I'm a big Darden fan. Bought nearly all his books. If I recall that one was pretty different. Might have had unilateral, one side of body training.
Very tough! Lol
Regarding talking with Frank Dux - "It's hilarious!" ~David Anthony Kurzhal
The movie the rock was a classic
I really like your videos you do such a wonderful job
Interesting interview. Still not sure what to think about Dux
The thing to keep in mind with Dux is that his attitude is always that the burden of truth is placed on his critics, not himself. He is the one making all of the claims, but somehow none of the responsibility of proof-providing seems to apply to him. For me, that's a bad look that negates any credibility.
Many have called Phil out on his BS, from him leaving wing chun because they started to spar and that was too dangerous for Phil. But why does he think his only critics come from bullshido/neal fletcher? The ironic thing, is that Phil was a part of McDojo/Bullshido. He posted there and people called him out on his BS, which is why he left.
Phil says he wasn't an instructor/martial artist then, but why was he making books on self defense?
Phil claims he has a background from some pretty unknown origin "a guy from a guy taught me", besides looking like he is incapable, he avoids hard sparring so he probably can't fight. His own martial art is not even a credible or working martial art. He can't fight and can't teach people to fight. So he should be the last person to take advice on for what is real or what is fake martial arts.
People don't move on from Phil the same way Phil doesn't move on from Frank Dux. You're a fraud who the World constantly reminds is a fraud.
"Phil says he wasn't an instructor/martial artist then, but why was he making books on self defense?" Good question. It is a marketing tool. If you want to become and 'expert' and get on shows and make dollars while you sleep, write a short book about what you want to be an 'expert' in, put it out there, solicit interviews and put out adds, then make money while you sleep. It is an old technique.
Phil has an answer for every question, even the one's you don't ask. It is a technique to manage the discussion away from uncomfortable areas you don't want to talk about. He is very skilled.
@@garethsmith8672 in short he's a fraud. Ironically in his business he says he's a fraud buster. The camel who doesn't see its own hump 🐪
How close are you to getting Seagal to come on?
Good question. He likes the show and I did speak to him on the phone. I believe when he starts doing interviews again, he'll definitely do my show.
@@VikingSamurai awesome. I'm sure it'll happen eventually.
Badass voice:"Listen bud I judge people before I get out of bed"..... 😄
Hogan’s Heroes is AWESOME!!!!
What happened to part 2?

Fraud🤷♂️
Martial Arts is what You want of it.
If You think it's all about getting in the ring, or cage ....then get in the ring, or the cage. If it's about just fitness....fine, or self defense....fine.
I don't like the word fraud. That's just Me.
I fought in the ring....because that's what I wanted 2 do.....I don't hold it against others that don't, or call them a fraud.
Matter of fact I know a Doctor that use 2 open spar with Me that was awesome, but He never wanted 2 fight....is He a fraud???
I'm not really explaining Myself how I want. Anyway I hate the word fraud.
I know more musicians that are frauds on CZcams than I actually know Martial Artists that are frauds.
Great Video 👍😁👍
