VAN DAMME'S PROMO :

Van Damme is one of the most influential of the action movie actors to have shaped an entire film industry with his brilliantly complex depictions of the martial arts. Canada's StudioLPS pays special appreciation to Van Damme's considerable movie accomplishments. Van Damme's films have reportedly made over $640 million dollars with fan appeal worldwide.

It's hard for any actor to reign favorably throughout an extended movie career. Most actors age, wash up, grow fat or lose their former good looks.. For action heroes there is additional risk of losing their timing, stamina and physical endurance. This video shows Van Damme in his early 40's returning to his roots and re-inventing himself and his tremendous skills of his youth as he displays near flawless kicks, and strikes along with his humble side mixed with his good-natured wit.

Some people believed Van Damme was only a successful body builder playing the part of a karate expert in his movies. Actually, Van Damme under his real birth name of Van Varenberg was a European Karate champion at the early age of 19, winning the 1979 World All Style Karate Organization Championship in Brussels Belgium and was a contender for the World Karate Championship that same year. As a legitimate black belt expert, Van Damme had considerable mastery over his challenging sport at an unusual young age. His movies illustrate the erupting power and flowing grace of the martial arts in breathtaking details choreographed for better enjoyment of Van Damme's amazing and legitimate skills, which were seldom embellished through movie cuts or special effects.

Throughout the world, Van Damme was responsible for many youngsters taking up the sport and favorably advancing their own personal growth and manhood in the process.

Such a distinguish story is that of 27-year old Louis-Philippe Simard of StudioLPS, who at age of 4 was the youngest prodigy to be chosen for entry into Canada's first Taekwondo school under the notable master Chong Lee in 1984. At just age 8, Simard's remarkable skills were featured in a TV documentary: "Les héros du Samedi" ("The Heroes/Champions of Saturday". Simard trained also in judo, Shotokan, and Jeet Kune Do. He placed 5th in the Canada 2008 National Canadian Taekwondo Championship (WTF).

Simard is a specialist performing and/or choreographing martial arts fight scenes. He is currently working in the "Ninjaelections" to be released early summer. He was selected to do martial art feats in ""Bon cop, Bad cop" directed by Erik Canuel with actor Patrick Huard. You can enjoy seeing his skills by clicking on his youtube:

  • I "think" sarazhan, ...

    I "think" sarazhan, if I understand correctly you are suggesting Van Damme is an actor who does fight scenes well enough in the movies - but that he is not a true fighter.

    Indeed, Van Damme is an actor who does fight scenes particularly well -- becasue he was at age 19 the European Professional (Middle Weight) Kickboxing Champion and had a 17 to 1 KO victories. His movies highlight karate skills to enterain audiences; they of course do not reflect true street fight skills.

  • mikeshredder, your ...

    mikeshredder, your comment "its a photo shoot not training" is as astute as it is short and on the money. I don't believe WadoAJ meant to denegrate Van Damme but overlooks both your point and my point that Van Damme is extremely rip, sharp, accurate and powerful for being middle age (was born Oct 1960). This shows Van Damme has snapped back from his former difficult years of "excess" proving he was a Champion not only back then - but stil even now!

  • Your absolutely ...

    Your absolutely right, isshinru, Van Damme has "whooped" ass 16 out of 17 times in his professional kickboxing career - to include an unbelievable and smashing revenge in 1980 on Patrick Teguels who was then the World's Vice Champion kickboxer. This clip is of Van Damme nearing his mid-forties. A vast majority of young men in their mid-twenties could not keep up with Van Damme who has more inner strength than all his critics combined!

  • A kick to the head ...

    A kick to the head means now that Van Damme would be off balance. Trying to kick a man in the head while he is aware of the situation, is like trying to punch him in the foot, you are giving yourself to him. When and how long have you been studying martial arts pollotkd?? You need to change teachers with that philosophy.
