I’m almost speechless by this interview. This went above and beyond my expectations. Simply the best Fran Dux interview I’ve ever seen. This will be discussed for years to come.
A body language case study in lying
@@prjkd to be honest any one with real experience will tell you that you cant actually in real life detect a good liar simply on body language. its a pseudoscience. A good liar can be as convincing as a saint professing the truth. if you think otherwise you are naive. Dux could be lying he could not be. but simply from watching the video you cant simply tell. you need a lot more corroborating evidence than oooh he looked to the left while answering a question. Not for or against dux but you can fuck off with that case study in body language bullshit. its pseudoscience at best. a good liar can fool the best body language expert. and a bad liar can probably be a wash too.
Doubt it he’s a compulsive liar
This is the best interview to date by Viking Samurai. One must watch this back to back a few times to digest it mentally. I am most pleased and cannot wait for the further chapters.
@@prjkd I DO have a lot of experience "interviewing" recalcitrant subjects and can tell you that davidshoy1979 is absolutely right. I've also had experience in hiding my true thoughts, right down to controlling my "unconscious" eye movements. One problem that comes up is that there are some people who just naturally exhibit "suspicious" behaviors when they have nothing to hide. Another problem is the increasing number of people who actually believe their own lies.
How you kept your face straight and not laugh during this interview is truly amazing.
Consensus is that Dux acquitted himself well in this interview
Dux and Seagal are the most honest masters ever. Non-negotiable.
@@paleo704 Consensus is that Frank Dux is a pathological liar.
Appreciate you being so professional with Frank, was a great interview. That being said, Dux is so full of it lol
Frank is the GOAT
@@raffaballzz in lying? Yeah man
@@jamesk9160 in martial arts
@@raffaballzz no
@@raffaballzz The throat goat , maybe
He once whipped an entire village of ninjas . Went on missions so secret ,that even the people with top level clearance have never heard of him
Probably the ninjas didn't even seen him coming...we talking about Frank dux no one could keep up His speed..too fast
Wouldn't it be nice if we could find someone else who participated in the kumite? Or even one of the opponents Dux went up against during that period?
i mean if you were alive YOU were in it considering the math lol
I was in it too? Sweet!
@@pretzelcoatl_1121epic, bro! Fucking EPIC 😂😂😅😂😅
exactly.. i was there too.. along with every sperm in my sack@@pretzelcoatl_1121
It’s amazing that Dennis Alexio or Larry Holmes weren’t invited as they were the best fighters in the world at that time
He reminds me of my older brother....he can look you right in the eye without even blinking and tell an beautiful lie as though its the truth, How convienient that he's the only person that knows about this Kumite and there's nobody else on the planet that can back his play
Maybe he's really a master vivid dreamer?
So you see the old rules of Kumite says everyone other then the Victor must be executed. Spectators, judges, competitors, dude at the door.
@@dustinmichel7608 Even the Paramedics/ There must have been LOTS of injuries with hundreds of competitors fighting to the Death with no rules, gloves, protective gear ie mouthpiece, handwraps, etc.
A judoka, boxer or mma fighter would mess this dude or Steven segal up badly!!!
@@johnrambo4259 Frank Dux doesn't hold any black belts at all.....in all of his video's he never fights anyone at all....ever!
I had a friend in third grade..his dad wasn’t around and he had all these wild stories about how his dad was a secret agent and had a car that shot rockets..I feel like frank dux is was the “that kid “ of the martial arts world
Poor kid..Was just trying to cope with his father not being there..
It sounds like me
my friend said his dad was in the air force and could throw a sonic boom like guile in SFII
He was, he was kicked out of military for just this reason lol
Wow, thanks for making a really sad comparison about a kid who was suffering from not having a father in his life and trying to cope.
He does a surprisingly good job of explaining things that would allow someone to suspend disbelief and enjoy the story.
Does he? Bwah ha hahaha haha hahaha
The guy that beat him up infront of alot of witnesses he got asked to fight in the early ufc 1 or 2 .. Zane frazier he said frank is smart very manipulative and a good business man could convince you that you were black even tho your white with white parents.. but as a fighter na he's a business man and back then before the Internet you had alot of guys saying they were blackbelts had there own style bla bla bla.. wasn't untill Vale tudo came around people seen what worked what never . Two men anything goes and no ninjas won any of they fights
@@Carson-pv4hrScott Morris won a fight at UFC 2, and he claimed to be a ninja 😊
@VultureLivesAgain yeah roy Nelson grew up grappling was a blackbelt in bjj years before mma was well-known in the grappling scene then after a decade plus of grappling.. started grappling at a mma gym sparred liked it started training with guys there learned he had a good right hand and was a good grappler aka submission wrestler.. they asked him what's your martial arts background he said kung-fu 😂😂 so when he was in the ufc walked in Bruce buffer would say his name weight record then this fighter has a background in kung-fu😂😂 guy had never trained kung-fu in his life .. infact after he fought frank mir but they said it was a grudge match because they met a naga a nogi submission wrestling tournament and roy beat him .. they had to say this man is a blackbelt in jujitsu holds a record of bla bla bla.. but for years guy with a mullet a belly good boxing great on the ground lots of submission wins.. but he wanted to be introduced as a master in the art of kung-fu 😂😂❤️
@@Carson-pv4hr I get what you're saying. But Scott Morris didn't seem to have a background in anything other than "ninjutsu." Steve Jennum also called himself a ninja, and he won UFC 3! Both guys apparently trained in the same ninjutsu system (Robert Bussey's Warrior International).
Keep in mind that Frank has had over 30 years to come up with a story and how to connect the dots....
You are a legend, Viking Samurai. You're essentially living my and my wife's dream doing these interviews, but you absolutely deserve it and are doing an amazing job. Hope you get our mutual hero Van Damme on someday!
Your wife wants to interview Frank Dux?! Man good pull!
@@aplus1080 - She doesn't comprehend that it's an actor from the real life guy so in reality, she wants to interview JCVD and after the interview, wants her husband to become a cuck.
I hope he gets A Van Damme interview he deserves it!
@@larryb4598 are you JSteel
@@aplus1080 You can keep all them girls that have any interest in Frank Dux. That's all you buddy!
BloodSport was such a fun part of my childhood as I’m sure it was for many here in the chat. My nephew really enjoys BloodSport now. No matter what the story happens to be, it was an exciting movie. We can all agree on that. Great interview VS. And thank you Frank Dux for agreeing to come on and give your side.
My dad told me once as a kid that it’s very important to not bs people because if you keep it up eventually you will start to believe it too and then you will end up living in your own reality
This dude goes down in history as one of if not the biggest goof of all time. Congrats Pux
FAAST DUX RYU is a label Frank uses to promote his fighting style.
I was enrolled taking Dux Ryu at USC, California in 2005. I was 29yo.
I met Frank one time there but his student "David" -real name- taught us 99%.
Training included grappling, kick/punch, weapons (nunchuck/staff), blind fold grappling and a ton of jumping techniques.
If you were late for class, you sat out. Once, David punished a guy (young usc student) for forgetting a technique by hitting him with a stick and remember thinking to myself, 'this guy watched Bloodsport'.
However, I ended up quitting after 6 months as David was (wearing a black belt) sloppy in technique and skill. He'd forget what he just showed us, getting distracted by the college girls, show us the same technique again, then after a few times, his highest ranking student (no black belts here) spoke up and told him he'd just showed us that.
It was impossible to respect David so learning became impossible.
At that time, I had already been in Taekwondo for 20 years, entered the first Olympic taekwondo trials (early 90s) been teaching for 3 years.
You can imagine the disappointment I felt from Dux Ryu.
The best students do not become necessarily the best teachers.
BTW, great interview V.
1 year of Muay Thai > 10 years at Dux Ryu
@@mrjuse5470 100% agreed. He's not even a teacher. He opens the schools, then promotes yellow and green belts to black belts so they can teach the classes while he sits back and collects the money. He's all bullshit. I wanted to learn Dux Ryu so bad after Bloodsport but quickly learned the Frank Dux on TV was a way made up character. Lol
It is a good interview to talk directly to him, regardless of someone opinions of him, it is nice to have a chance for him to speak for himself. Love your channel and all the interviews you have presented. Keep up the good work of giving both sides of the story and letting people decide for themselves.
He's a fraud
@@raymondarias2034 But that's not what he's getting at though, just that to be able to interview Dux on the issue and let him speak about it regardless of fact or fiction.
Words fall from his mouth like shit from ass!
Raymond Arias
19:26
He’s still being a hero.
"Kumite" is Burmese for "give more mushroom to the white dude"
😂😂😂😂😂
Can you imagine if Dux and Seagal were in the same room? The universe might explode.
Just watched footage of Bas Rutten, Seagal would not stand much of chance.
Hhhhhhh true
No, Dux, Seagal and Moore in a movie together!
You could make it like Hotshots.
That would be EPIC! 😂😂😂
The thought of that has me near doubled over in laughter.
I’m dying 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Simple…his 50+ consecutive knockouts were the same 20 guys being “rotated in and out”. Now it all makes sense. They were all knocked out 4-5 times a day by Dux and the other top 7 to make the final fights. Explains how there were deaths in it too.
I like how Frank then compared it to the first UFC where as everyone knows Royce Gracie broke the arms of the same opponents a half dozen times before facing off against a few of them in the final.
Too funny…I’m starting to think his inter galactic tournaments with trillions of contestants was the more realistic version of the story.
I would like all the Tournament competitors around the world, and for all time, to list the single elimination tournaments where they had to fight over 300 times to win the event. And then, let's have a list of only the winners so we can compare some of Frank's fellow KUMITE Champions. We would like to include all the winners before and after Frank's win to step up and validate his record and his Championship Trophy, ooops "Secret" Trophy! For someone who doesn't care about "putting butts in the seats" and "fighting for glory and money", you seemed very comfortable suing JCVD for money. Oh yeah, and the court found he did not owe you any money.
@@dragondon I’m hoping you and Frank can talk on Viking Samurai at some point. Viking is fair and can be a mediator so to speak.
@@bmcarpetcleaningandfloorca4410 Absolutely, I would love for the Viking Samurai to have Frank and I on at the same time so I can have Frank discuss his "Echo Location" techniques, bullet dodging, and over 300 win over 50 KO record in the KUMITE!!!!! I am absolutely certain he will completely enlighten every viewer on the exact nature of his fighting experiences in the KUMITE!!!!
@@dragondon didn't he use to say that Ray Jackson was based on the guy that Dolph Lundgren used to train with that actually fought at that tournament, Kurt Peter Rolandson? The John Smoltz look alike that was in Jet Li's movie "Born to Defense" with Paula Tocha ( the Muay Thai fighter Paco in Bloodsport?)
At the start of the video he sounds like he's talking about the Kumite that you get in Kyokushin Karate tournaments where a black belt has to fight multiple opponents one on one over the course of a few days to earn their next degree, it's more like a tough man contest to test a karateka's skills and endurance...though I'm not sure what the rules are or how these are structured but apparently they're a series of consecutive 2 minute bouts against other black belt opponents as the ultimate test if endurance and skill, then there's also the Full Contact Kung Fu tournaments that used to take place in Taiwan and Hong Kong as well, and both these instances would result in people getting severely injured but as far I know they weren't "deathmatches" so like I'm confused now....did he participate in one of these perhaps and then just embellish it to the point of pure fantasy to become famous or is his Kumite something different... because these Kumites aren't "secret underground no holds barred deathmatches hosted by the Hong Kong triads every 5 years"....like I wish he'd just be open and honest about the story and just come clean, if he says he took part in a 100 man Kyokushin Karate Kumite then I'd believe it because those do happen sometimes...in fact aside from Mas Oyama, there's only been 14 other people who successfully completed it and the last was a dude named Judd Reid and he did it back in 2017
Big props to Viking Samurai for coming through and getting Frank Dux to come on the show! Although I am no Fan of Frank Dux, I do respect him for coming on and saying his side of the story.
I agree because it does sound Plausible.
Bot
Not hard to give his side when he created the story….
How hard was it to keep a straight face throughout this whole interview
The guy's had a stroke before you can tell.
I thought he did a pretty good job of explaining things.
@@Timmeh_The_tyrant Did he explain how he whopped an entire ninja village as a teenager? Did explain why his supposed CMOH ceremony was done in secret?
Thank you so much for this interview. I really appreciate it. Peace and blessings to you.
Regardless of my personal beliefs, kudos to you for having all sides of a story represented on your channel.
Great interview, good for you for just letting him talk. I personally deal with a lot of Stolen Valor cases, and would love to have heard about his MOH, USMC time, etc - but I get your focus. Thanks for putting this together!
Looking at that Purple Heart on the wall, I was thinking the same thing about stolen valor
@@navegandolejanooriente6268 Oh, you didn't know..His DD-214 was changed when he was recruited by the CIA, can't have his past be used against him. These fucks always use the CIA as a cover, because they know the CIA has a policy not to confirm or deny who they recruit. So these clowns can then use this refusal to comment as a defacto stamp of validity. Dux is a guy who came up in the era prior to information being so readily available, so his grift worked for along time..
@@colinkillian9265 Obviously, Colin...it did not work on you.
Fascinating interview with Frank Dux, Viking!! That was engaging, right from the beggining. Great job!!👏👍👍
In Australia we have a phrase, it is "Yeah... Nah"
FINALLY, VS got Frank Dux himself on the show. Hopefully he can get Mr. Dux and JCVD on here at the same time.
"Bloodsport: The Reckoning"
I will settle for JCVD
Why?
Forget Dux vs Chong Li.
This was Frost vs Nixon.
Can’t wait for part deux
I really love when you want one small answer but then get a book of whole other responses, which in turn bring about even more rabbit holes to go down.
Thank you for The Last Kumite! Best martial arts movie I’ve seen in a while, thank you for it!
Mate it just goes to show what sort of great fair character you are, when Frank Dux would grant you an interview... so well done and congratulations... and it's criminal that you have less than 50 thousand subscribers considering the special guests you have on your show... there are people that have millions of subscribers that have crap material on their channel... so keep the great work up and I'm sure all your hard work will be rewarded...
So Frank Dux claims he fought in the Kumite from 1975-1980.
He claims to win the tournament he fought 20 times a day for 3 days, KOing 56 straight. Meaning the first four went the distance or the last four went the distance for the 56 to be “consecutive “.
1975 to 1980 is only enough for two Kumites since they are held like the Olympics every for years.
Frank also claims to have gone 329-0 in those two Kumite’s where he was fighting 20 times a day for 3 days.
Hmmm…maths seems to be kicking the bullshido out of Frank Dux like a Dim Mak
Did any of you feel solid about your grasp of how a kumite works after Frank Dux was finished explaining it? Because to me, it felt like trying to understand qubits.
Kind of. I’m old now, but I fought in kyokushin tournaments back in the 80s. I trained in kyokushin for about 8 years. The one thing I agree on what he said was the kumites from different school factions. That’s true and I participated in the kyokushin ones we had. There would be 50-60 guys competing and yes you could fight 15-20 guys in one day. Over a few day period there would be one winner and he would of fought probably 50 times. He’s also right, they were private with no audience and would usually be at a rented out vfw hall or a firehouse hall or something. This is in my experience only though. I do think he is fabricating on a lot of other stuff though like fighting in the bahamas with hand picked martial artists from around the world. I think he may have done the school faction kumites and just added his own twists to make it sound more movie like.
No clue what he was talking abiyt. If he wins there is always a " fresh" fighter sent in to fight. New fresh guys, apparently waiting on the sidelines to fight the winners. Idk. No sense
So... I got in a bar fight last night,,, I guess that's considered Kumite, right? It wasn't in Mexico though.
@@tiamat_023nope. That wasn’t Kumite. Sorry
Great video. I am impressed that you got him to sit down and discuss the many queries people have with Dux and his tall tales.
Dux and Seagal should make a movie together about a new kind of martial arts called bullshido.
Lol, Seagal has actual decorated credentials in Japan, including with Isoyama Sensei and Abbe Sensei, high level masters. He's also had plenty of kickboxers and MMA pros feel his skills firsthand.
Scene - Secret ninja student Frank Dux that was taught by secret ninja master Tanaka secretly is approached by black dragon secret representatives that travel from….the Bahamas….to tell Frank…they’ve been “watching him” and think he shows promise to fight in a deadly tournament where the winner gets a sword in exchange for their lives…every four years. Opponents have died in previous years, one at the hands of serial killer/head stomper Chong Li.
Dux, who is picked because they have secretly kept an eye on him from China to scout for the Bahamas tourney coincidentally also wants to honour his Shidoshi Tanaka’s Clan as Tanaka was a previous winner.
Frank accepts and flies to the Bahamas and a group of roughly 30 fighters show up secretly, all willing to put their lives on the line for a ninja sword that their dojo’s or schools would face zero knowledge of or affinity for but they agree to go fight to the death.
Next scene: Dux and 7 other elite killing machines face a straight line up of opponents that run directly at them getting KO blasted one after another. Dux KOing 20 Tin Soldiers in a row. The other top 7 also would have to face as many opponents to get to the next day where the same already multiply KO’d opponents would start all over getting the ever loving sh*t kicked out of them by Dux and the top 8.
Day 3 repeat, 20 more of the same rotating opponents and Dux has KOd someone nearly 60 times in 3 days and now for the big tournament on the roof where Chong Li in fact blinded Dux by accident and Dux won the Kumite and the sword.
The End
Now go to watch the Philippe Cadoret footage of his karate tournament that Dux is claiming is him in his Kumite and try not to throw up in disgust.
Is not about Glory, but Honor. You pleb can't understand it.
This man took almost 40 minutes to say absolutely NOTHING. No substantiated evidence, contradictory statements, deflection and misdirection. I gotta say I’m not a big believer in the veracity of polygraph tests but I would LOVE to see Dux strapped up to one. Would be hilarious.
He's so entrenched with his own delusional reality, he would pass
Amazing interview!!!!! Loved it! Thanks to both of you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@VikingSamurai What drugs you on?
@@VikingSamuraiLove your channel I would love to see an analysis on "Jason Blaha" and or "Charlie Z" (the goat) Thank you sir

He was the worlds greatest martial artist with little or no evidence, now he is the worlds greatest peacemaker again with a similar level of evidence. Such a humble man who tries to avoid the spotlight and attention (aside from making a movie about his alleged life, a book and a dozen interviews since).
Congratulations Viking Samurai for securing an interview with Frank. This is great!
@@larryb4598 hey Jsteel get a job
Sorry dux,you are full of shith.
It's just talk,and we in Europe are LOL 🤣🤣🤣
I don’t know what to think. I love Bloodsport, but I think this man Dux has a great fantasy mind that created a great concept for a movie and a sport.
Great video man I enjoy your videos I been waiting a long time for this
Props to Viking Samurai to not only being able to bring Dux to the podcast, but also for delivering the best interview that nobody has ever done to Dux... You are the best, Viking... Is just a matter of time that you bring JCVD to the show
Yeah, but not on the web. Face to face with JCVD. An interview in his mansion or something special.
@@hori83 I don't think that would add anything to the interview for the person listening, its much more convenient and likely to take place when both people can do it from wherever they currently are than have to fly somewhere and get things set up for an interview. The actually content would be the same either way. I think just having him in an interview would be a win for everyone.
I am very sure that Van Damme is going to be your guest very soon
19:30 - when he really goes off the rails! 😀
Ten years old back in ‘63 a kid moved into the big house on the hill and he told us of his dad who was some big millionaire who would buy us all go karts when he got back. We gave him candies, toys, admiration and friendship; he was actually cool, a bit arrogant and would have been our neighborhood friend anyway.
Months passed, his house never seemed to get furnished and his dad had yet to appear. He kept telling us fascinating stories of his adventures with his dad and even showed us the specs and pamphlets for the go karts all 6 of us were going to get.
That went on for over a year and finally one day he and his mother moved out.
Maybe he lost his dad. Whatever. But he was quite outwardly normal otherwise. Some people can create a believable fantasy and actually believe it themselves. Scary.
Glad you gave Frank a platform to speak his side of everything. I don't believe any of what he says but it's still good to be fair and let all sides be able to share their explanations of what really happened.
Well said
Yeah fair enough I suppose.
At the end of the day people can choose to believe what they want. It's obvious to me that the guy has been very astute at the art of 'telling stories' , and very lucky to have been able to get successful from it. Good for him, I guess.
I agree. It's great to let liars to talk themselves into more holes :D
Vik my man you are a G. I would of died laughing at him explaining some of these things. Honestly tho I could sit around all day and hear stories from Frank & Seagal.
Scott Adkins interviewed Seagal...we all knew he was full of it but he humored us! I actually liked being humored instead of just calling the guy out in his face. Makes me want to hear more hog wash stories
@@robd1329 Yeah I follow Scott as well. It was a better interview than I expected.
why do you think Frank and Seagal as joke ? i can let you meet them both
especially Seagal . you have ballz ?
@@robd1329 I guess you never met Shihan Seagal .lol
Thank you for this. Great interview
Iv very supprised you got him to do the interview, Good Work
The interview we have all been waiting for . You’re an inspiration man , thanks for all the great content . Hope you can get JCVD one day that would be epic
Wow great interview, it was the most sincere I have ever seen Dux in an interview. Great to see both sides of this
Simply just pure awesomeness thank you so much for interviewing him gave me a whole new perspective on the man. I totally get what he saying about looking out for fellow man. To often in our society now and days we get pleasure out of stepping on the small guy who needs help. I really wanted to be a ufc champion when I saw my wife and her two kids I knew those kids dreams matter more than mine at the moment my sensei even told me it was honorable. It was like a dad telling me he was proud of me. Fast forward later we had a kid and married and all my kids meditate and train in martial arts we are all growing in the martial art community to be better than yesterday and to encourage others to the same. Brilliant interview this is why people love your content VikingSamurai.
This was so good. Thank you so much for this, it cleared up many questions I've had over the years.
Man great job here I can't believe you actually got the Frank Dux to come on the show. Excellent work on both your parts here. Good talk, we need more of these clips!
You are AMAZING at interviewing people.
Great interview.
No one has a problem with the Oyama Kumite, because there are/were actual witnesses and participants.
Facts 💯
You talk of witnesses for Oyama, but dismiss witnesses for Frank Dux Kumite. Talking of double standard.
@@firstblessings8777 how many witnesses? Admittedly, I commented before watching the whole thing. The fact is, I’ve actually competed and fighting is hard even at the amateur level. I’ve also trained with a lot of high level martial artists, (Paul Cale, Dan Inosanto, John Wayne Parr, Angie Parr, Jean Jacques Machado to name the famous ones) It’s why I personally find anything Frank Dux says highly suspect. His story telling did inspire people such as John Wayne Parr, so not all bad came out of his bullshit
@@benglasby8014 It is your word against his. Who do you think we should believe? I'll chose to go with accounts from the horse's mouth over your speculations, considering one of the people you regard as an icon, John Wayne Parr, was actually inspired by Frank Dux.
@@firstblessings8777 John Wayne Parr is an actual 10x world champion in Muay Thai. The movie Bloodsport inspired JWP. It is a cool movie, and I’m sure it inspired many others, me included, but it’s fiction. I’m happy to acknowledge that myths are fine to inspire people to achieve greatness. My suggestion to you is go train with an actual world champion, and compete yourself.
Simply amazing, composed, respectful, describing details and hey for trying to remember if its him or not then Viking acknowledging that he gets his bro pics and him wrong is a statement that memory slips to the best of us. Can't wait to see more. 🙏🙏
Yeah Frank I remember my first kumite i went to my friend had gotten his back broke thinking he would win because he had his black belt and was champion in the USA but when we got to the Bahamas and he got to his final fight with Chong Po that's when he got his back broken so I stayed in the Bahamas I left my old instructor Xian Chow Tanaka and found sifu sensei Yoda who is a Tekken God great grand Master ninja samurai and he trained me in 4 hours to be a seiryu fujin emperor tekken king and I fought 45 guys each 30 mins for 3 days straight and it was down to me and Chong Po but he knew I'd win so he kidnapped my girlfriend and held her hostage but I was a Marine recon sniper ranger 1371 1st ceb 82nd airborne spec op agent and I fought all his goons in the apartment she was held captive in then I went back to the kumite just 1 second before disqualification and knocked Chong Po out with a 250mph kick .0001 seconds into the first round while everyone in the crowd sang Paranauê
Paranauê Paraná
Paranauê
Paranauê Paraná
Paranauê Paranauê Paraná Oô, oô, oô, oô, oô Oô, oô, oô, oô, oô and I became the new champion 🏆 🥇 🏅 💪 and I have you to thank for this bullshit story because you inspired me to be the best phony ever Frank Dux thank you so much for all your bullshit lies because I was gonna go become ufc champion of the galaxy but those guys don't stand a chance once you fight kumite no other fights in the universe can even compare to what we done Frank we accomplished nothing thank you so much great grand Master liar Frank Dux....Ok Hollywood let's make this happen now Blood Boxer Kick Sport aka only da strong lol....
Blood boxer kick sport. That made me laugh so hard I cried.
Great interview!!!
I find it commendable for you to give him a platform to defend himself but the stories he tells get bigger and more preposterous everytime he tells them
Did the maths even work out?! 63 fights, so 20 a day for 3 days then 3 main matches. Right..... One of the best tournaments I've ever seen was a great mma tourney. It was an 8 man elimination tournament called IFC Global Domination. So, it had Babalu Sobral, Trevor Prangley, Shogun Rua, Erik Wanderlei, Forrest Griffin, Chael Sonnen, Jeremy Horn, and Mikhael Averstesion. And then u had alternates, u know, the guys who compete on the card, to step in in the case of somebody getting injured. What about the alternates to duxs kumite?! How many alternates would there have to be?! Anyways, babalu and Jeremy horn fought each other in the final. Babalu beat Trevor Prangley by decision, then Shogun Rua by submission(guillotine choke). Jeremy Horn beat Averstesion by submission(armbar), then Forrest Griffin by KO(head kick). Babalu beat Horn by decision. But his face was a mess. One of the greatest most emotional performances I've seen. Babalus brother had died less than a year before, n to fight 3 fights in one night n sustain those injuries, n still win against someone as good as Horn, is just amazing n why I love martial arts and combat sports. I respect any martial artist. But if Dux is bs'ing, it's not just a little white lie, it's a disrespect to anyone who practices, trains and competes.
@Patrick Bateman Thank you for pointing that out. 60 fights in 3 days he'd have to be superhuman to have done that. Especially in a fight with "no rules" 110 percent bullshit haha
That what liars do, they can't resist adding a little bit extra every time because they're addicted to lying. Tell the story enough times and the story becomes utterly ridiculous
@@anakindeckard I showed my dad this vid. He came up with a good one. He said he talks out the side of his mouth, cos a part of his brain knows he's lieing n is trying to make his body stop talking🤣also followed it up with, "hold up frank, u need to wipe the corner of ur mouth, there's some sh*te dribbling out" 🤣😂😭I'm sorry to be so disrespectful, but he's disrespecting all of us, even if u don't compete or train, just enjoying martial arts sports, or movies, he's trying to con that last bit of innocent imagination we may have. People want to believe in supposedly impossible feats. It gives us hope. Van Damme is a great actor, and even tho his kickboxing and karate fights were semi contact, he's still a great martial artist and athlete. Even he was taken in by dux' wild claims. He tries to downplay it by comparing himself to the father of full contact Kyokushin Karate, Mas Oyama, who was the first man to fight through a 100 man kumite. This is very tough, but not impossible, as a multiple man kyokushin kumite is 1 min round per man. So a new guy would step on the mat straight after the previous guy had fought u for one minute. N if u knocked a guy out or down for 15 seconds, then a new, fresh guy was put on straight away. So the longest u would have to fight is 100 minutes. That's still crazy. I competed a few times, mainly Thai boxing, but a couple times Kickboxing rules, and mainly amateurly. Even going 3 2 minute rounds full contact is taxing. So to fight for 100 minutes is amazing. And Mr Duck is taking a dump on all of our open mindedness or kindness. I don't know how Viking Samurai kept an open mind n treated him respectfully. He seems a great guy. I tried to listen/watch this and keep an open mind, give the guy a chance. I googled the duck after, to do some of my own research. Straight away I saw a link to his Facebook or twitter, with a link to this vid with him commenting, "This should clear some things up guys" or something to that effect. When u believe something fantastical and find out its a lie, like when u find out santa isn't real, u feel angry at urself for believing it n feels kinda stupid. He's so narcissistic, he doesn't consider this bad. Just thinks like he's telling a cool story. When a lie isn't used to spare someone pain, or to protect someone, it's not a good thing. N it's not even about his own self preservation, that I could slightly understand. It's to do with his ego n making himself feel good. Real legends, people like Mohammed Ali, Bruce Lee, Ramon Dekkers, JCVD, Tony Jaa, even Stallone for learning to box n becoming passionate about it through the Rocky movies, Royce Gracie, Don Fry, Bas Rutten, GSP, Mas Oyama, Joe Frazier, Andy Hug(RIP), he's treating their achievements like a glory hole, in a rave club toilet. Kinda pity him n hate him simultaneously. Sorry for the rant people but this guy grates my potatoes! To whatever path ur on, I wish u all the success n good fortune in the world. On one condition..... Dont aspire to behave like Frank 'duck' Dux!!!
Yup
Although I still think this guy is a complete fantasist this was a great interview congratulations man.
Same with Seagal...its nice to be humored!
@@robd1329 Seagal is a real martial artist, you Seagal haters are ignorant.
@@williamwest7008 hes full of shit. He cant fight if he his life depended on it
Wow this was fascinating listening to Frank Dux and we FANS of your show have to thank you for making this possible. Well done! JCVD is somewhere out there and probably heard about this and he should definitely be on your show. Let's do it!!
got to give credit to Dux and Donald, they are the "REAL DEAL"
What an amazing video! Honestly when I was a teenager in the late 80s early 90s I remember always wanting to know more about Frank Dux after Bloodsport. I am in awe of this interview, now I finally saw Frank Dux telling his story he's a very interesting person. I'm glad I remained neutral thank you for the gift of this video.
@@larryb4598 shut up JSteel
A lot of guys like him. I think new in the 1980s that it was the last decade where they could tell all these tall tales and not have them disproven due to lack of evidence. I believe guys like Frank knew that recording devices were getting smaller and information was less and less suffering from the tyranny of data size or bandwidth or regionalism. And so he has like a little kid who's a expert liar has calmly internalized all these techniques. He's a sociopath. At least one person would have filmed these events but they exist only in his mind
I couldn't wait to get off work and watch this. Well done sir. By far the best interview. Can't wait for the rest!
New to the channel but good interview my guy, very professional.
This guy hangs onto 70's era Martial bullshit so well, he must be protected at all cost.
It’s like kayfabe in pro wrestling lmao
Congrats on getting Frank Dux! The man everyone talks about but you talked to. Love your videos.
been waiting years for this, great work
I think this Dux series has been excellent, Iv literally been binging Dux related stuff all day.
Really interesting interview. Nice that Frank gets a chance to defend himself and tell his side of the story. One thing I struggle with is the film's portrayal of the Kumite taking place in Kowloon Walled City. I'm surprised there was any room in that place to hold a fighting tournament.
Viking Samurai, your content just keeps getting better. Great interview.
wow i cant believe you pulled this interview off dude congrats
Great video! I've had the opportunity to chat with Frank, the man is living history. Enjoyed watching man.
The man is a living fraud lmao
@@mechanomics2649 perhaps in some regards but tell me anyone you know who had a Blockbuster movie 🎬 made about their life story, be it fact or fiction?
Good interview. Very interesting. I love bloodsport
Thanks Decca!
Alright Frankie! Great interview, long time coming, friggin awesome
Such a great interview, Viking! Without him we wouldn't have the amazing Bloodsport, which many have said in these comments, but man, he can spin a story.
This is my first time actually listening to Frank speak, and now I am doubting my previous dismissal of his work and skills. Fantastic interview!
czcams.com/users/shortsBN9RlPeQbDs?feature=share
You are doubting? Really?
My previous statement on Dux was a joke as he is!
@@wildhellion1 He's fascinating to me. He takes lying to an entirely new and improved level. His explanation for the tournament was LOL
100% agree with you Israel!
This is pure gold !
- Why are Dux's answers always elaborate? There's no simple answer with him. It's always some long drawn out response!
- In this interview, Dux states that the Kumite consisted of 60 or so guys from various 'clubs' but the Kumite had to do with the Black Dragons which is an organization that Dux is a part of, which was founded by Count Dante back in the 1960's. He then goes on to state that some people from various clubs who thought they were 'bad-asses' were allowed to participate as well. If that was the case, 1/2 the population would have competed in the Kumite.
- Bloodsport is based off the Kumite. In the movie, the speaker at the Kumite, says welcome warriors of the world, the best fighters of the world etc. etc. Well which is it, various club members sparring against one other, being recycled over and over again or is it what Bloodsport says, the best fighters from all over the world? Dux has stated in the past that the Kumite was held in the Bahamas, why the Bahamas? You like the weather? Did Dux pick the Bahamas to host the Kumite? It's suppose to be this secret fighting organization which is why noone talks about it and there's no footage on it, now its various club members proving themselves for the right of passage - wtf is going on here?!?!
- In regards to 'Rick Robinson' - Dux doesn't remember him being there but Robinson came to his school later on and told him some of the details about the Kumite?!?! That Robinson talked his way into the Kumite because he trained with some Art Wong person or whatever his name was. So you created Jacksons character based off of Rick Robinson but you don't remember seeing him at the Kumite, you just talked to him about it later on at your school, when Robinson went there and told you some Kumite Details? Then based off of those details that he told you about and that you didn't physically witness because you don't remember seeing him there, you were still able to create Jacksons character and storyline for Bloodsport???? Are you kidding me right now? Bloodsport is supposed to be based off of your personal account of the Kumite!!!! Not based off of someone's details of them saying that they were there but you didn't see him. Jesus christ!
- Dave asks Dux how he got into the Kumite..... Dux's first response was, it was a 'natural progression' another line of bs. Circles upon circles and it wasn't secret - which is contradicting his other accounts, saying that the Kumite was secret and he wasn't allowed to talk about it or anyone else that fought in it wasn't allowed to talk about it but now in this interview it wasn't secret. Lie after lie!
- In being asked about the CZcams Kumite footage, Dux says he doesn't know if it was him because he didn't film it. HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW WHETHER ITS YOU OR NOT?! THATS ABSURD FRANK! Then Dux goes on and talks about people looking like him, then talks about people trying to 'out him'. Whose outing you Frank? According to this interview with Dave, the Kumite consisted of simply, people in various clubs, trying to fight for their right of passage and a lot of members of the Kumite, were Black Dragons, so whose outing you Frank? Black Belt magazine is outing you? Other club members are outing you? Who Frank?
- Then Frank gets into facial recognition software, saying that there is a 98.7% chance it was him in the Kumite footage and that somebody was able to also determine that the footage was from 1980. Well right there, that's wrong, it couldn't have been you, if the Kumite footage was from 1980 because you said the Kumite that you took part in was from 1975. Not too mention that you told Dave that the footage of the Kumite will someday appear and people will pay big bucks for it especially when you're dead and when the footage finally surfaces. Well there is Kumite footage out there, it's on CZcams, so wtf are you talking about? The Kumite footage is already out there, you are claiming that it's indeed you and not Philiipe Cadoret, so what are you talking about that someday when the Kumite footage appears people will pay big money for it. The footage is on CZcams and where are the people paying big money for it? Also, from what I heard, Philippe Cadoret threatened to sue you for defamation, unless you stopped telling people that that footage consisted of you and not him. Furthermore, watching the Kumite footage is clearer then taking a picture of the footage itself. Smh!
- Towards the end of this video, Dux goes on to say that there were different types and levels of Kumite. The 'Big One's' and then there were smaller ones. Dave asks him if he fought in the one in 1980 - Dux responds by saying he 'doesn't remember' because he fought in so many. But the Kumite fight footage that is on CZcams is from 1980 which you state that forensics says it's 98.7% identifiable that it was you, now you're saying when asked about participating in the one from 1980 that you dont remember?!?!
- Now, there was a Kumite in Mexico? This is the first time that I am hearing about this, just like it is the first time I'm hearing about different levels of Kumite. Dux has never stated in any of his other interviews that there were many different Kumites and levels to them. All I ever heard, was that he fought in this underground secretive Kumite in 1975, in the Bahamas, now he's saying all of this.
He goes on to say that it wasn't about putting 'butts in seats' but in Bloosport we see lots of butts in seats with all of the Asians gambling on who would win each fight.... So if what you're now saying is true, then Bloodsport was a lie everytime we saw butts in seats gambling. Originally, we were made to believe that this was a secretive organization that had major gambling underworld ties to it that the mafia was involved, now its not about putting butts in seats. I guess you added all of that extra gambling mafia secret shit to hype up Bloodsport right Frank?!
- A real estate developer said you could rent for free in Beverley Hills because he wants you to teach there? I have no response to this other than to shake my head.
- Dux has said, time and time again that Dux-Ryu is based off of Koga Yamabushi Njnjitsu, now he's changing his tune and saying the same thing Sky Benson said, that Dux-Ryu is not a style, its about laws of combat and science-based. That's not what he has said in the past!
Your analysis of places of events and stipulations concerning there-in is absolutely Spot-On!
My conflictions lie with the Mathematical discrepancies of the amount of Trained Martial Arts Masters he claimed he has defeated in a very small alotted integer of time.
You should interview Dux with your questions.
what's going on is he's a compulsive liar
Also you can know Frank Dux was lying from the start of the Movie. The movie said the Kumite was held in Hong Kong. Kumite is Japanese for Karate sparring. Why would they name it that of ALL THINGS on a Karate term?? They only spoke Chinese, Cantonese in Hong Kong and China. So why would they speak Japanese? Especially since during a time when many Asian countries hated Japans guts
@@-WolfMan- I know. Its stupid isn't it? Imagine the same theme play out with any other full contact sport, knock out or stoppage to win the fight. He says in this interview he fought 20 guys a day who was all accomplished in martial artists over 3 days to win the Kumite. Imagine say... it was a boxing event. You got Muhammed Ali vs 20 other boxers, say if them boxers was of a lower class, but still pro's, someone like Dave Allen (British heavyweight boxer) who never even got to be British heavyweight champion (but still a fairly good pro boxer). Imagine Ali fighting 20 fresh Dave Allen's in a row... maybe if he was lucky, Ali could beat 5 fresh Dave Allen's but not 20 in 1 day. Ali maybe could beat 20 Dave Allen's in short point victory sparing matches in 1 day, but not 20 no holds bared fights. The guy is a lunatic, but he is fucking funny though. His lies could have fooled people 35/40 years ago when martial arts was a little more mysterious, but since the UFC has proved what does and doesn't work, his lies fall short and are hilarious.
_The Kumite is not about money or glory, but define you about yourself and your skills._
Looks legit.
Comparing himself to Mas Oyama's 100 fights IS comparing apples to oranges. That wasn't a competition. Kyokushin have these challenges as part of their black belt gradings etc, where you fight one person after another with no breaks. It's a test. It's not a karate tournament.
Viking Samurai has become the go-to guy on things related to Van Damme and martial arts movies in general.
This guy is even more delusional than I thought. Thanks for the interview, man!
Woah well done Viking Samurai I can't belive you got to interview Frank Dux well done 👍
I picture Frank Dux flying around the world like he is in Street Fighter trying to beat the last boss. great interview!
I can't believe you got to talk to Frank Dux I shouldn't be surprised tho, looking back at the last months or especially last year, the amount of interesting people you got to talk to / interview in your videos is just amazing and while listening to this awesome people I happen to discover Ron Smoorenburg for example so thank you for that and especially for this video! Keep up the good work and who knows what's next... JCVD is waiting 💪😎
David, you did it!!! You got the man, the myth, THE LEGEND, Frank W Dux!!! I, myself, am proud of you, as well as your followers. You are SOOO close to getting your lifetime goals, getting JCVD, Stallone and Arnold on the channel. You deserve more respect and adoration from us fans than you get, but when is the Universe ever fair.
Congratulations on getting Frank Dux on the channel. Love to get Don Wilson and Frank on at the same time. I'd pay money to watch you talk to both.
@@larryb4598 have you been following Don's posts on Facebook?
He's crazier than I ever thought.
If you think he's crazy you should see his simps. They are jock riding for dux all over the comment section.
I think he and Steven Seagal need to get together to share memories of all the real fights they have never been in.
You the man for this interview doing the undoable mad respect
Really glad you got him on, good job love the interview technique engaged and not confrontational at all, it would have been very easy to just rip in and call him out on this that and the other, and overwhelm him with quick fire questions, like the fact you actually gave him a chance to talk, well handled congratulations
He should at least challenged him a little more than he did.
Regardless of where the truth ends and the stories begin, the man needs to be applied to writing something: movies , shows whatever.
I'm glad that you are giving everyone their chance to speak their side of the story.
👍
Doesn’t remember how many fights he actually won but he literally has it on the Van Damme poster behind him in his house 😂
Remember, Dux claims the reason he accepted the “invitation” to fight in the Kumite to honor his Shidoshi’s family clan.
In his book and when talking to anyone that would listen he’s been claiming Tiger Tanaka taught him his families special form of ninjitsu that was only passed on through the family from “father to son, father to son” claiming Tanaka had a long lineage of warriors in his family.
And how did Frank continue to honour his Shidoshi and the family secret ninjitsu?
By selling lessons in it to literally any human with a few thousand dollars a year plus testing fees.
Makes a lot of sense…that whole honouring my Sensei and his family.
I made a similar comment on another video. Tanaka style was effective enough to allow him to triumph. It shouldn't have needed modification when, as he said himself, the Kumite was the proving ground for techniques. Rather than preserve it, he founds a derivative style he named after himself.
I'd really like to hear exactly what Frank considers to be embellishments of his 'true' story and what elements were for dramatic license.
MCDojo is the way to go! Gotta live big and pay the bills!
Tanaka was obviously a person that never existed . Their is no record of him , photos , or anyone ever even knowing who he was . Despite being claimed as a Ninja master
@@SJ-ty5rw Plus, Tanaka ninjutsu is supposed to be Koga ryu. Depending on who you ask, it was either completely lost to time by the modern day or never existed independently of Iga. Frank has a long-running feud with Bujinkan and particularly Stephen K. Hayes - probably more due to him getting called out than continuing the historic rivalry between the regions.
Ninjutsu in general was heavily romanticized for Western audiences. It wasn't a sacred tradition passed down from father to son in the way Frank describes it. The teaching methods were more communal in nature. Like a tribe, the entire clan would have benefitted from the proceeds of a job.
He is the reason Goku and Vegeta had to form gogeta blue
Hey Viking, next time ask him if he really did a flying helicopter kick and a drop down splits ball punch at the Kumite in real life.
He’s answered this several times in the past. The answer is yes. He did those things.
There is no defense for the drop down splits ball punch. That was the punch he used for the fastest knockout.
Viking Samurai always a good show Sir👍, thank you!
At the end of the day
If it wasn't for Frank Dux we would of never had the greatest martial arts film of all time.
Give the man respect for that✌💪
Honestly really enjoyed this interview with Frank. Wasn't sure it would happen! But you couldn't have done a better job interviewing him, and he genuinely seems like he's great to talk to. I think at this point we should just accept Frank as Frank. I almost don't care about the "truth" any longer. If we're to focus on the positives, I think he's done a lot of good things for martial arts. Bloodsport was one of the biggest reasons why I got into martial arts, and this is true for a lot of people, including those who have become champions in both kickboxing and MMA. I mean, the latest season of Cobra Kai even features Bloodsport!
