It’s called a hakamaIn the movie, they dressed me in an Aikido skirt.
Do you do the hands in the sand thing ?
I had a co-worker named Blaine 35 years ago who was into Jeet Kune Do and pretty religious. He said he had buckets of gravel that he would work with his hands, like jamming his hands into the sand for an hour training session, to make his hands stronger or something.
Some more info on Ninjitsu:
Based on his understanding and personal beliefs that traditional Ninjitsu is inferior, Frank Dux did not abandon it entirely but embraced its principals and based on his own empirical knowledge established the first American system of Ninjutsu, Dux Ryu Ninjitsu and DUX FASST (Focus, Action, Skill, Strategy and Tactics). Due to its ferocity and measurable effectiveness, the DUX FASST tactical application system is only transmitted to elite Law Enforcement and Military personnel. A fact corroborated by Glock Monroy, the tactical advisor who teaches defensive tactic instructors at Mexico City Police Department’s Police Institute. Monroy is President of the professional association governing the teaching of defensive tactics in Mexico as well as in other countries throughout Latin America, FISMDC (Federacion International de Sistemos Mixtos de Defensay y Combate.A.C). Glock Monroy states:
“Mexico’s elite law enforcement agencies invested considerable resources and time in evaluating and utilizing DUX FASST. We found it provides a startling measurable and decisive advantage. So much so, that when being taught in Police Institute in Mexico City, all of its practitioners are fingerprinted and photographed. They must enter into individual confidentiality agreements stating that if the officer is discovered transmitting DUX FASST in any unauthorized manner they risk being discharged from the department as well as risk criminal prosecution. We hold it in such high regard… Frank Dux has refined close quarter combat into an exact science, identifying specific laws and formulas that will reproduce the same result, time and again. And yet, are flexible to meet the consistently changing nature of combat.”
I would be very surprised if shithawk has never heard of Frank Dux, if he is training in Ninjitsu.
I had heard of him but didn't put two and two together until this thread.im only 32.the ninja fad was in the 80s before my time.Frank Dux has been proven a fraud.he can't keep his stories straight and has been caught fraudulent many times.not taking anything away from your part in the movie Gypsy.Van Damme is a good martial artist in his own right.bet you didn't know he originally had the part to be The Predator.i mean the guy in the Predator suit.its on YouTube if anyone cares.its kinda funny that suit is so shitty! lol
In the movie 'Bloodsport' many different martial arts styles were exhibited, Wing Chun, Wu-Shu, Monkey Style and other types of Kung-Fu were shown, along with Taekwundo, Karate', Judo, Sumo, Wrestling and Boxing....
I studied Kyokushin Karate up till brown belt, so was no expert, didn't need to be because I got knocked out in a matter of seconds by Chung Lee (Bolo)...In the movie, they dressed me in an Aikido skirt, although I never studied that....It was kinda fun though, boring at times waiting around for your turn on camera, but overall an experience I will never forget.
Is Chung Lee a real life bad ass in martial arts ? I always assumed he probably was because he looked pretty damn vicious in the movie LOL.
I must have watched that movie 500 times as a kid and had no idea until now you were in it. That’s pretty cool !!
