Jean-Claude Van Damme PROMO KARATE KICK SHOW (1 of 2)

i agree but jet li is just that , a martial artist. there is a fine line between martial artist and actual fighter. i think he would kill van damme but i also thing that if he fell in a pit with a ufc champion he himself would meet an abrupt end.

Jet Li is a real life Martial Artist and know more effective skills then Van Damn ever will!

Dude, on a bad day with a hang-over, You can take Van Dumb out with your moves. His kicks are so opened that tripping his ass won't be a issue!

van damme does give martial arts a bad name. he was a coke head ,a woman beater ,a womanizer, an alcoholic, and he did make a false claim about being a world champion. so dont tell me about what is and isnt his fault about the impression people have of him. now, i think his movies are entertaining but he did try to market himself as a real fighter which clearly he is not. it makes me laugh every time someone talks about how accomplished van damme is as a martial artist. does he behave like one?

oh and are you calling me a white belt? well ok then where do i start. 1996 sport juijitzu national championship in winston-salem north carolina , i won my division there. 1996 sport juijitzu world championships in charelston wv , i took a silver medal there. 1998 c.s kim all martial art open national , i won it and again in 2001. i was ranked #4 in the world by the isja full contact rankings in 1997. i hold a 1st degree black belt in tang soo do along with cross training in juijitzu and boxing.

another thing. i didnt teach like that to be tough, i taut that way so that i know in my heart that im giving my students the same 200% effort that i expected from them and so i knew they could actually survive in a real world situation. fighting is very bad , but , yes i taut my students that if they took every effort to avoid a fight and were still forced to fight then they were to become a destructive animal with absolute willingness to win even if it meant fighting dirty. tell me im wrong.

really? what exactly am i wrong about? the reason i didnt have many students is because in my school every student was required to spend at leas 1 full year in every belt rank , and sparring every class was mandatory. so naturally it wasnt very popular with your typical soccer mom who wants a couple hour baby sitter for her kid everyday. and yes i held class everyday. also my students were required to compete in full contact competitions in order to even be considered for rank promotion.

who cares ! did Van Damme said he want to be
the #1 on 6.5 billions people ???
Did he say i'm better to Bruce Lee ?

LOL ! you are so wrong .........

you say : " dont forget that a real fight is a brutal and nasty thing and there are no rules and the cheater always wins in a real fight. even bruce lee himself said that. "

if Van Damme fight, he is in jail....
his career will end,
and you will say "what a jurk....he fought"

Thank you Van Damme for not hitting people.
It is not the way to be on earth.

Jean-Claude Van Damme is far from being responsible for what you're saying.
He's not even close to it.
Do you really thing he is responsible for
the "white belt" perception about what is martial arts ?
That martial arts is for street fight ?
That because the actor Van Damme kick on
screen they need to learn how to destroy someone ?
This is so a white belt comment from
a : "i didnt have many students but" master.

dont take offense to that. its just that i love martial arts with all my heart and i just want to make sure that the line between being able to fight and looking good on film is very clear. dont forget that a real fight is a brutal and nasty thing and there are no rules and the cheater always wins in a real fight. even bruce lee himself said that. bruce even bit a man in a fight when he was a teenage but he did what it took to win and thats all that counts. movie guys dont have it in them.

top list for movie martial artist or actual fighters? because if your talking about being able to fight for real then van damme and jet li should be removed from your list and replaced buy chuck norris and don "the dragon" wilson. but of course norris and wilson arent as fun to watch as van damme and jet li but they are real fighters and real champions. in fact the only man on that list of yours who i think could really street fight is bruce lee, after all the street is the only place it counts.

i hope no body takes offense to my last comment but i love martial arts even though my career is long over. people like van damme give it a bad name . when people came to my school learn from me they wanted to learn what they saw in movies , not the real brutality that fighting is. i didnt have many students but the ones i had learned very quickly that fighting IS ONLY REASON TO LEARN MARTIAL ARTS,if its fun your doing it wrong. of course, the teachers out for money to sell belts would disagree.

van damme is just a pretty face with a high kick. he is a show martial artist which doesnt count. im sorry to burst any ones bubble but the only reason one should learn martial arts is strictly for fighting. all the other benefits of it should be viewed as an added bonus. although you couldnt tell now i have 20 years experience in the arts and pro fighting and i will now reveal the biggest secret of all martial arts of all styles....... ready ? ok here it is..... THERE ARE NO SECRETS AT ALL!!!!

no way that JC is better than Jet Li!
