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.
@@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.
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.
They don't want publicity, so why has Dux never shut up about the alleged tournament? Surely he'd be blacklisted, like they do in the Magic Circle, right?
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
@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).
I don't believe in Karma, i believe in God so What ever Frank Dux , This is a good interview. Darn I can't stop laughing 😆 Frankie Dux is he a mob boss to? Joking
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.
@@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
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!
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
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
@@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?
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.
@@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.
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
@@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.
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
@@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.
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!
@@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..
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.
Why hasn’t anybody else come out and talked about this kumite? Out of 300+ competitors and who knows how many spectators, Dux is the only one to talk about it? Come on, man.
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.
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.
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!!!
We know he's lying like an old weasel, but that's not the point of the blood sport movie, it'd not real to the book writer, but it's real to the little boys who became inspired by this and that's what really matters
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
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.
@@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
@@mrjuse5470Never, Frank Dux style is MMA and combination of Karate, Jujutsu,Kenpo,Krav maga and other arts,Muat Thai is legit but you can learn only striking especially low kick.Muay Thai is not a complete fighting style
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
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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).
It's interesting he doesn't know if the Catoret footage is him ? you would think a fighter would be able to know his own movements .. and is familiar with themself .
I commend you for having kept such composure while I’m sure there were moments you were fighting the urge to burst into uncontrollable laughter. I found it funny he mentioned Chong Li as well. Thank you for this Gem 👊
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.
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
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
@@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.
Just curious..watched Bloodsport as a kid. Did people actually die in this tournaments or was that just for the movie? Honestly, it wouldnt surprise me either way
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.
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
He participated in two Kumites in 1975 and 1980 but he never told he only fought just two Kumites.329 wins are overall fighting record which included Fight invitation from different Dojos,Karate fights he fought in Youth,329 is overall fighting record which includes 2 Kumite he won
@@arindambanerjee3326He’s a stolen valor fraud that can’t substantiate a single one of his outrageously absurd claims despite mountains of evidence against his laughable claims.
@@JRRob3wn Full of CIA lie,I read it and research about claims of Frank haters,He fought Kumite and I have enough research and evidence of that,apart from Kumite and his martial art career I have no interest about his military career and other claims.As per my research Kumite he fought and anyone who did deeper research about underground fighting circuit of 70s of Brazil and South East Asia along with some other places they know how this underground circuit worked and it was different than traditional open circuit.Some point karate and tiptap American Kickboxing fan of 70s will not understand about Pre UFC underground MMA type fight,it need research,you have to read books on this topic and other details and then you can come conclusion about his legitimacy.I am from India and no connection with Frank,one of my friend's uncle from India participated in a underground Kumite in 1978 Phillipines.
I only have one question, if he fought 60 guys in the Kumite? Where are they now, not one has stepped up and said yeah i was there and it really happened? I mean they can't all be dead?
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!
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.
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.
So, here's the big question. Best fighters from all over the world were invited correct? The Gracies were having constant fights back and forth with the best of the Japanese fighters. Rickson was dominating at that time, where was Rickson or any Gracies?
Notice how he avoids answering a simple yes/no question at 2:15 then again 15:15 and 16:30 Then the constant looking up and pausing and face touching. And as someone that uses facial recognition software, there is no way you could get any kind of match off that old grainy black and white footage shot from a distance.
He just keeps contradicting himself yet u let em get away with I get your doing because if u say something he'll probably end the interview or maybe u don't like confrontation but I wish some1 was there to show him how he's getting caught in his own lies. Again he claims it's secretive & it's not a spectators sport yet now he says bare knuckle fights & street fights came from the kumite because sailors went to the fights then went home started their own fights. How if it's not opened to the public can some sailors just show up uninvited
I think you did an outstanding job as an interviewer (as always).... I personally don't buy his story but I am deeply fascinated by him and this taught me quite a bit. Keep up the good work!
In the early UFCs those guys did 3 fights in one day and were absolutely exhausted by the end. Royce Gracie actually had to drop out of UFC 3 because of the fatigue inflicted on him by Kimo Leopoldo. That's why 56 back to back no holds barred "fights" in one day seems unbelievable and fake. Unless these Kumite fights were actually quick one minute sparring matches or they were against complete bums or a bunch of little Chinese guys he was a foot taller than and weighed more than them by 150 pounds it just doesn't seem realistic. Or maybe he discovered an easy way or a trick to force his opponents off the runway. Did eliminating someone like that count as a "knockout"? I'm trying to give this guy some benefit of the doubt. "He won his fights quickly and with minimal exertion because of the dim mak". Sigh okay let's assume that's true. How did all the other guys in the tournament make it that far? Was everybody dim makking each other? Did Chong Li use dim mak? Someone claiming to have fought 56 hardcore matches in one night is an insult to the people who actually did fight and defeat multiple opponents in one night. Royce Gracie, Rickson Gracie, Don Frye, Dan Severn, Oleg Taktarov, Marco Ruas, Mark Coleman just to name a few. You're lucky to still be standing after a 12 round boxing match let alone 56 fights.
Yeah that’s where I’m at with it. The process he describes would necessitate an insane pace for all the combatants to rotate through each other to the point where around 8 of them have fought 20 people or 20 fights each on 3 consecutive days. So… let’s say the total number of participants was 40. At least 8 of them had at least 40 fights a piece in 3 days. So even if they are 1 minute fights, even if they were strung back to back to back with no time in between, that’s 20 minutes of fighting per day at a bare minimum per at least 8 people which is over 16 hours of consecutive fighting in one day. Not to mention all the other fights between guys that don’t make it through all 20 fights each day and drop out. It gets to the point where there aren’t enough hours in the day real quickly. I’m sorry… this guy is suspect. Big time. Maybe he is nice. Maybe he is knowledgeable in martial arts… maybe he has taught some people some valuable stuff… sure. But he is at least 80% full of shit. Also… the thing at the end of bloodsport that shows how fast his knockout punches and kicks were… how were they tracking this in the late 70’s? Did they have a speed gun? Some kind of meter? How did they measure that? How did he happen to catch all those guys in a row with knockouts in one day? That is total nonsense. This Kumite stuff sounds like fairy tales where the details are fuzzy. He seems to remember in an extremely vague way.
- 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 TH-cam 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 TH-cam, 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 TH-cam 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 TH-cam 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.
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.
Frank claims "they" did a forensic study to prove with facial recognition that the video was him, but I ask: who is they? What investigative group was this and where is the article/video/report/etc. detailing this study?
He's great at doing that. "What THEY didn't tell you is it matched me 98%." Ok. Then how did you hear about it Frank? So they only told you the result of their findings and nobody else? Then he goes "is it me? I don't know." We all know he says that because he wants to leave the door open to backtrack in case the truth is revealed. But Frank, if it was 98% you, then why would you even have any doubt?
@@smutjunkies559 Exactly. He knows damn well that more gullible viewers will not question who "they" are and will just soak it up because it sounds impressive. Deniability is a favorite tactic of his now. He knows that "fair" people want to give him the benefit of the doubt and so he exploits it fully. I have to say that I'm legitimately disturbed by how many people here in the comments are flipping to his side now.
This man is pathetic with all the lies he says.. Viking samurai is doing a disservice by not pushing back. He knows that frank is lying, but won't call him out because he doesn't hurt Frank's feelings.
Yeah Frank, sure they mesured the fasted kicks by counting the frames. In the year 1975!, they dont even do it nowdays in the ufc. Also why would they even film the tournament if it was so secret??
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.
Whaaaat, You made it happen? You are the boss hahaha, I really love all your contents, interviews. They always bring me back to my childhood. Keep it up samorai.
He helped bridge the gap between north n South Korea. He brought electricity to poor people in Africa. It just never ends. Was he there when Noah built the ark too? The only place he hasn't been is to the psychiatrist office. You forgot to ask him about the store bought kumite trophy he had made himself.
He definitely won a real trophy but had to sell it to raise money so that lonely widows could purchase _battery operated devices_ to keep them company. The one he'll admit to purchasing was a replica. The widows want to remain anonymous so asking for proof is disrespectful!
@@sh0k0nes I have known a few in my 48 years of life. Most were females though. Notice the Amber Heards of this World lie about other people. Dux lies about himself.
My thing about This" Kumite" is during the time of this supposed event, how come Benny Uriquriez, Mike Stone, Thomas LePuppet, and many other world renowned Karateka's weren't invited? If this was a tournament about skill they would have been honorably invited. That's my opinion though 🤷🏿♂️
If they were invited, but they wouldn't attend because they weren't getting paid for it... the kumite doesn't pay their contestants... guys like Benny the jet and Mike Stone were big timers back then, that got paid big dollars... why would they participate in something they weren't gonna get paid for... back then Frank Dux didn't have the fame or the fortune, so he didn't care... back in the day I did 13 years of martial arts and participated in so many tournaments in Qld and NSW and never got paid one cent, actually it cost us money for all the travel and accomodation... when you are a budding martial artist, you'll fight in everything to prove yourself and for the experience... Mike Stone and Benny the jet and the others you mentioned were way past that sort of status, and like I said, would want to be well and truly paid for their time and their 'name'...
@@tjsullivan5119Disposing of 329 bodies without alarming authorities is an impressive feat! They must have used the same people that made Frank’s military records disappear!
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. 🙏🙏
It's verified that the Fuji logo was authentic to date the film 1980 or before. However was Fuji films and official sponsor of a secret underground kumite???
No existence of Phillipe Cadoratte and it was a fictional character.I researched and couldn't find a single line info in Google.I researched details history of French Kickboxing team and talked with some kickboxer and as per research no man named Phillipe Cadoratte ever be a part of French Kickboxing team, totally fictional character when Dux published a footage of his real fight but I doubt that it was from his original Kumite but the footage was real Dux fighting footage.From height to looks dito same.A son of Phillipe Cadoratte emerged that time and published that footage in a website and claimed Frank stolen the footage.A guy in your tube posted the link of the website in TH-cam comment section and I clicked that.Nothing is there and everything removed from that site and their was nothing about Phillipe Cadoratte.And the so called son totally disappeared after that and still disappear. It was Frank Dux and He had excellent fighting skills.If Phillipe Cadoratte was such a famous and high calibre fighter than atleast a single line of information expected.I don't know Frank fought Kumite in Bahama in 1975 or not or can't tell about that footage was from 1975 Kumite.May be it is from another tournament but it was Frank Dux and there is no doubt.From that footage and experience of his students shared in social media it is clear Frank Dux was a real badass fighter with exceptional skill and the footage is the proof his fighting was far more deadly than kickboxing fight or full contact Karate fight of his time rather it was almost brutal of today's UFC standard.
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.

They don't want publicity, so why has Dux never shut up about the alleged tournament? Surely he'd be blacklisted, like they do in the Magic Circle, right?
Lmao. Great point.
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).
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.
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 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I don't believe in Karma, i believe in God so What ever Frank Dux , This is a good interview. Darn I can't stop laughing 😆 Frankie Dux is he a mob boss to? Joking
I love how he runs into a wall with his lies but just sidesteps it and keeps going. He never runs out.
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

I agree because it does sound Plausible.

Not hard to give his side when he created the story….
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.
When i was young i watched it everytime i was at my big brothers house and 100 times at home....great times

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.
Why hasn’t anybody else come out and talked about this kumite? Out of 300+ competitors and who knows how many spectators, Dux is the only one to talk about it? Come on, man.
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.
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.
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
We know he's lying like an old weasel, but that's not the point of the blood sport movie, it'd not real to the book writer, but it's real to the little boys who became inspired by this and that's what really matters
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
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
@@mrjuse5470Never, Frank Dux style is MMA and combination of Karate, Jujutsu,Kenpo,Krav maga and other arts,Muat Thai is legit but you can learn only striking especially low kick.Muay Thai is not a complete fighting style
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
So he was 16 when he fought in 71 😂..his time line is all over the place..
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
Wow great interview, it was the most sincere I have ever seen Dux in an interview. Great to see both sides of this
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...
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
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.
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.
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).
It's interesting he doesn't know if the Catoret footage is him ? you would think a fighter would be able to know his own movements .. and is familiar with themself .
I commend you for having kept such composure while I’m sure there were moments you were fighting the urge to burst into uncontrollable laughter. I found it funny he mentioned Chong Li as well. Thank you for this Gem 👊
I consider Frank a friend.
Cool
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
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
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.
Just curious..watched Bloodsport as a kid. Did people actually die in this tournaments or was that just for the movie? Honestly, it wouldnt surprise me either way
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.
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
He participated in two Kumites in 1975 and 1980 but he never told he only fought just two Kumites.329 wins are overall fighting record which included Fight invitation from different Dojos,Karate fights he fought in Youth,329 is overall fighting record which includes 2 Kumite he won

@@arindambanerjee3326He’s a stolen valor fraud that can’t substantiate a single one of his outrageously absurd claims despite mountains of evidence against his laughable claims.
@@JRRob3wn Full of CIA lie,I read it and research about claims of Frank haters,He fought Kumite and I have enough research and evidence of that,apart from Kumite and his martial art career I have no interest about his military career and other claims.As per my research Kumite he fought and anyone who did deeper research about underground fighting circuit of 70s of Brazil and South East Asia along with some other places they know how this underground circuit worked and it was different than traditional open circuit.Some point karate and tiptap American Kickboxing fan of 70s will not understand about Pre UFC underground MMA type fight,it need research,you have to read books on this topic and other details and then you can come conclusion about his legitimacy.I am from India and no connection with Frank,one of my friend's uncle from India participated in a underground Kumite in 1978 Phillipines.
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.
I only have one question, if he fought 60 guys in the Kumite? Where are they now, not one has stepped up and said yeah i was there and it really happened? I mean they can't all be dead?
Do research properly,there are witnesses
Fascinating interview with Frank Dux, Viking!! That was engaging, right from the beggining. Great job!!👏👍👍
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!
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
_The Kumite is not about money or glory, but define you about yourself and your skills._
Looks legit.
but ill make a movie off it and make tons of money!
Great video man I enjoy your videos I been waiting a long time for this

Congrats on getting Frank Dux! The man everyone talks about but you talked to. Love your videos.
So, here's the big question. Best fighters from all over the world were invited correct? The Gracies were having constant fights back and forth with the best of the Japanese fighters. Rickson was dominating at that time, where was Rickson or any Gracies?
But Rickson never fought Sakuraba!! The Gracie Killer!
@@ShengProductions his son had just died in drug overdose. He never fought after that.
Notice how he avoids answering a simple yes/no question at 2:15 then again 15:15 and 16:30 Then the constant looking up and pausing and face touching. And as someone that uses facial recognition software, there is no way you could get any kind of match off that old grainy black and white footage shot from a distance.
He just keeps contradicting himself yet u let em get away with I get your doing because if u say something he'll probably end the interview or maybe u don't like confrontation but I wish some1 was there to show him how he's getting caught in his own lies. Again he claims it's secretive & it's not a spectators sport yet now he says bare knuckle fights & street fights came from the kumite because sailors went to the fights then went home started their own fights. How if it's not opened to the public can some sailors just show up uninvited
I think you did an outstanding job as an interviewer (as always).... I personally don't buy his story but I am deeply fascinated by him and this taught me quite a bit. Keep up the good work!

Viking Samurai has become the go-to guy on things related to Van Damme and martial arts movies in general.
In the early UFCs those guys did 3 fights in one day and were absolutely exhausted by the end. Royce Gracie actually had to drop out of UFC 3 because of the fatigue inflicted on him by Kimo Leopoldo. That's why 56 back to back no holds barred "fights" in one day seems unbelievable and fake. Unless these Kumite fights were actually quick one minute sparring matches or they were against complete bums or a bunch of little Chinese guys he was a foot taller than and weighed more than them by 150 pounds it just doesn't seem realistic. Or maybe he discovered an easy way or a trick to force his opponents off the runway. Did eliminating someone like that count as a "knockout"? I'm trying to give this guy some benefit of the doubt. "He won his fights quickly and with minimal exertion because of the dim mak". Sigh okay let's assume that's true. How did all the other guys in the tournament make it that far? Was everybody dim makking each other? Did Chong Li use dim mak? Someone claiming to have fought 56 hardcore matches in one night is an insult to the people who actually did fight and defeat multiple opponents in one night. Royce Gracie, Rickson Gracie, Don Frye, Dan Severn, Oleg Taktarov, Marco Ruas, Mark Coleman just to name a few. You're lucky to still be standing after a 12 round boxing match let alone 56 fights.
He hits guys in pressure points and doesn't get fatigued cause he ends fights fast 😄
@@bubaba8938 😂
Yeah that’s where I’m at with it. The process he describes would necessitate an insane pace for all the combatants to rotate through each other to the point where around 8 of them have fought 20 people or 20 fights each on 3 consecutive days. So… let’s say the total number of participants was 40. At least 8 of them had at least 40 fights a piece in 3 days. So even if they are 1 minute fights, even if they were strung back to back to back with no time in between, that’s 20 minutes of fighting per day at a bare minimum per at least 8 people which is over 16 hours of consecutive fighting in one day. Not to mention all the other fights between guys that don’t make it through all 20 fights each day and drop out.
It gets to the point where there aren’t enough hours in the day real quickly.
I’m sorry… this guy is suspect. Big time.
Maybe he is nice. Maybe he is knowledgeable in martial arts… maybe he has taught some people some valuable stuff… sure. But he is at least 80% full of shit.
Also… the thing at the end of bloodsport that shows how fast his knockout punches and kicks were… how were they tracking this in the late 70’s? Did they have a speed gun? Some kind of meter? How did they measure that?
How did he happen to catch all those guys in a row with knockouts in one day? That is total nonsense. This Kumite stuff sounds like fairy tales where the details are fuzzy. He seems to remember in an extremely vague way.
As Frank would say, "You have to understand, I am no ordinary man, I can beat over 300 men and KO over 50 consecutively in the same tournament"!!!!
Exactly and Royce back then and to this day would choke the piss out of Dux.
- 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 TH-cam 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 TH-cam, 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 TH-cam 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 TH-cam 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.
Frank claims "they" did a forensic study to prove with facial recognition that the video was him, but I ask: who is they? What investigative group was this and where is the article/video/report/etc. detailing this study?
He's great at doing that. "What THEY didn't tell you is it matched me 98%." Ok. Then how did you hear about it Frank? So they only told you the result of their findings and nobody else? Then he goes "is it me? I don't know." We all know he says that because he wants to leave the door open to backtrack in case the truth is revealed. But Frank, if it was 98% you, then why would you even have any doubt?
@@smutjunkies559 Exactly. He knows damn well that more gullible viewers will not question who "they" are and will just soak it up because it sounds impressive. Deniability is a favorite tactic of his now. He knows that "fair" people want to give him the benefit of the doubt and so he exploits it fully. I have to say that I'm legitimately disturbed by how many people here in the comments are flipping to his side now.
This man is pathetic with all the lies he says.. Viking samurai is doing a disservice by not pushing back. He knows that frank is lying, but won't call him out because he doesn't hurt Frank's feelings.
Yeah Frank, sure they mesured the fasted kicks by counting the frames. In the year 1975!, they dont even do it nowdays in the ufc.
Also why would they even film the tournament if it was so secret??
Also Frank said he fought kumite in Mexico and chon li won that one. How can that be if Frank claims to be undefeated?
And why they recieve one Trophy if It was secret.
@@robertocaetano4945 A trophy with OLYMPIC rings on it LOL
These pod casters just keep frank dux famous lol .😂
Viking Samurai, your content just keeps getting better. Great interview.
This guy is even more delusional than I thought. Thanks for the interview, man!
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.
Frank stated he rec. The Medal of Honor. He displayed a US Army Medal. He was in the Marines.
Whaaaat, You made it happen? You are the boss hahaha, I really love all your contents, interviews. They always bring me back to my childhood. Keep it up samorai.
Whoo hoo Frank Dux is finally on the show.
He helped bridge the gap between north n South Korea. He brought electricity to poor people in Africa. It just never ends. Was he there when Noah built the ark too? The only place he hasn't been is to the psychiatrist office. You forgot to ask him about the store bought kumite trophy he had made himself.
A whole video dedicated to that trophy coming soon!
He definitely won a real trophy but had to sell it to raise money so that lonely widows could purchase _battery operated devices_ to keep them company.
The one he'll admit to purchasing was a replica.
The widows want to remain anonymous so asking for proof is disrespectful!
It’s a real pathology. I actually know a couple of people with this condition. It’s actually fascinating to hear them fabricate things
@@sh0k0nes
I have known a few in my 48 years of life.
Most were females though.
Notice the Amber Heards of this World lie about other people.
Dux lies about himself.
@@adamkane7513 u might be on to s'thing...all the guys I know lied about themselves🤔
I love how he fumbles for dates, and places.
He's old now.. you'll do the same
It ain't about money or riches or fame but I want a big goddamn over the top trophy to take home.the guy that taught dux is a James bond character.
36 mins of BS. It was entertaining though.
My thing about This" Kumite" is during the time of this supposed event, how come Benny Uriquriez, Mike Stone, Thomas LePuppet, and many other world renowned Karateka's weren't invited? If this was a tournament about skill they would have been honorably invited. That's my opinion though 🤷🏿♂️
If they were invited, but they wouldn't attend because they weren't getting paid for it... the kumite doesn't pay their contestants... guys like Benny the jet and Mike Stone were big timers back then, that got paid big dollars... why would they participate in something they weren't gonna get paid for... back then Frank Dux didn't have the fame or the fortune, so he didn't care... back in the day I did 13 years of martial arts and participated in so many tournaments in Qld and NSW and never got paid one cent, actually it cost us money for all the travel and accomodation... when you are a budding martial artist, you'll fight in everything to prove yourself and for the experience... Mike Stone and Benny the jet and the others you mentioned were way past that sort of status, and like I said, would want to be well and truly paid for their time and their 'name'...
or Chuck Norris ...Bill Wallace...Howard Jackson
Man, Thomas LaPuppet. I haven't heard that name in many years. Such a great fighter.
Because it wouldn’t make sense to risk injury and your pro career for no pay
@@johnfarnhamexperience but Frank stated it was ran buy a whole lot of gamblers meaning Money was definitely involved right?
329 wins and nobody can find one single living opponent, I wonder why that is
He killed them all in the tournament
Exactly not sure why people can’t understand that
@@tjsullivan5119Disposing of 329 bodies without alarming authorities is an impressive feat! They must have used the same people that made Frank’s military records disappear!
19:30 - when he really goes off the rails! 😀
How do martial arts clubs get to be invited to the kumite and how do they get known to be invited?
This was so good. Thank you so much for this, it cleared up many questions I've had over the years.
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. 🙏🙏
Thanks to Frank Dux we have the greatest martial arts movie of all time (BLOODSPORT)
It's verified that the Fuji logo was authentic to date the film 1980 or before. However was Fuji films and official sponsor of a secret underground kumite???
All the Kumites were not secret
The guys a nut case worse then Seagal..Amazing how you kept a straight face Viking..
Seagal’s stories at least have a grain of truth, this stuff is just pure fantasy.
Hey Viking Samurai, how about having Phillipe Cadoret as your next quest?
No existence of Phillipe Cadoratte and it was a fictional character.I researched and couldn't find a single line info in Google.I researched details history of French Kickboxing team and talked with some kickboxer and as per research no man named Phillipe Cadoratte ever be a part of French Kickboxing team, totally fictional character when Dux published a footage of his real fight but I doubt that it was from his original Kumite but the footage was real Dux fighting footage.From height to looks dito same.A son of Phillipe Cadoratte emerged that time and published that footage in a website and claimed Frank stolen the footage.A guy in your tube posted the link of the website in TH-cam comment section and I clicked that.Nothing is there and everything removed from that site and their was nothing about Phillipe Cadoratte.And the so called son totally disappeared after that and still disappear. It was Frank Dux and He had excellent fighting skills.If Phillipe Cadoratte was such a famous and high calibre fighter than atleast a single line of information expected.I don't know Frank fought Kumite in Bahama in 1975 or not or can't tell about that footage was from 1975 Kumite.May be it is from another tournament but it was Frank Dux and there is no doubt.From that footage and experience of his students shared in social media it is clear Frank Dux was a real badass fighter with exceptional skill and the footage is the proof his fighting was far more deadly than kickboxing fight or full contact Karate fight of his time rather it was almost brutal of today's UFC standard.
