Making sense of the real Kumite with Frank Dux! / Viking Samurai interviews Frank Dux

[@bmcarpetcleaningandfloorca4410]

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

[@davidshoyt1979]

@@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.

@@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.

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.

[@dragondon]

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.

[@cyborgchicken3502]

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

[@AlexanderLayko]

Whoo hoo Frank Dux is finally on the show.

[@JD202]

- 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 KZbin 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 KZbin, 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 KZbin 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 KZbin 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!

Especially since during a time when many Asian countries hated Japans guts

[@gutz323]

@@-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.

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.

@@WallKenshiro Yeah I'm just thinking maybe there's a tiny grain of truth because full contact sparring tournaments have existed for a long time in many different martial arts styles, even in Taekwondo one of the black belt gradings was to fight at least 5 opponents in rotation, or at least the club I went to....so I don't know, if this is really the case with Dux I don't get why he just doesn't admit it, why keep up the whole" secret underground deathmatch" BS.... I'm not saying he's telling the truth I'm just saying that what he's describing is very similar to Kyokushin Karate Kumite tournaments or the Sanda tournaments you've mentioned....so either he did do it and overly exaggerated it or he didn't and he just changed his story over time to to fit in with these narratives after learning that Kumite and Full Contact sparring tournaments are a thing.

[@osiris3550]

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.

[@neganstains5745]

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.

@@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.

A whole video dedicated to that trophy coming soon!

[@amk8411]

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.

Congratulation viking samurai. There's so many things that we don't know happening in the world I can't say if everything Mr. Dux is saying is truth or not. Things do secretive that we can't believe it's real. I like when he says there are things that are more important than those discussion about his skills and kumite experiences. I was all hear and amazed when he was talking about it though. Can't wait to watch the rest of the interview. Wonder if it was him or some friends or lawyer who got him to sue jcvd? I appreciate the guy. He looks like he's a good person. Love all your videos viking samurai.

Cool

[@lookingforwyatteearp3137]

Frank Dux is an old friend of mine. Have not seen him in years. Good guy.

[@JRRob3wn]

He’s a disgusting stolen valor CLOWN. A man of low character that has wasted his life concocting lies that will haunt his family for generations.

Awesome interview! This channel just keeps getting better. Hope you can get Jean-Claude Van Damme on one day.
