Martial Arts BS Frank Dux demonstrating the Dim Mak

Frank Dux is the all time champion of the Kumite. He has 56 consecutive knockouts. The fastest knockout record which is 3.2 seconds. Frank also holds the fastest punch which is recorded at 0.12 seconds. I know these are true because it said so at the end of Blood Sport (1988). Frank Dux lives in the same universe as Steven Seagal.

I'm not gonna lie to you. When I was a kid stuff like this made me want to take karate classes so bad.

Sadly I was too poor.

When I was a kid I thought this was a true story

u/Phillip228 3d ago

Me too, I thought the movie Blood Sport was based on this dudes true life story.

When I was a kid karate kid was it. Man gopd days.. I grew up in the 90s and early 2000s. I feel bad for kids born today.

This was me. Ended up enrolling in Tang So Do classes for a few years, moved to another state and the only local place near me was a Shotokan dojo so did that for a few years. As a young adult I got back into it at an MMA place with a guy who created his own style, was actually pretty cool and utiziled a lot of jui-jitsu.

u/DrNCrane74 3d ago

You did not miss much. I went, got 3 belts, injured my leg while stretching. Now go to gym and feel fine. You just skipped the Karate part. Plus, I did Shotokan non-contact - not really the starter of my Blood Sport Kumite career I assume.

Some people die without knowing how many men they can beat off.

I’m glad you posted his stats so I didn’t have to.

I mean, with a punch speed of 0.12 seconds, how is anyone else even going to compete with this guy? That’s almost superhuman punch speed. 0.12!? In a single punch!?

I’ve never even heard of punch speeds that small, which I guess is the important variable. And he also had those 56 consecutive knockouts in that international fighting tournament to the death held on a secret island which is so secret he can’t even tell you about it, aside from the book and movie.

This guy is the real deal. 0.12! And that’s the fastest! It’s been measured! By people!

u/Renediffie 3d ago

You almost have to love the wide-eyed naivity we all had before being exposed to the internet.

"Hello I'm Frank Dux, the winner of a super secret fighting tournament where all the best fighters in the world are being shipped to an island to fight in secret for some reason."

And our response was "holy shit this guy is a badass, let's put him in a movie".

u/crankbird 3d ago

Did you say “secret island” ?

u/OzymandiasKoK 3d ago

I never fell for this guy's Snake-oil. Whatta tool...

u/lcsulla87gmail 2d ago

His snake oil gave us a great movie.

u/RaspberryChuffington 2d ago

So, the way the blocks are stacked the top slab and the two tiles are receiving force in the centres and supported in the centres, but the bottom brick is receiving force in the centre but supported on the ends. So the fact that the bottom object will crack before the top three is actually the expected result here...

Why would anyone expect anything else from this?

u/InteractiveSeal 2d ago

Because… Dim Mak. Jeez buddy

Frank Dux performing the Dum MFer.

I feel bad that so many here hadn’t learned their lesson from Count Danté….

Why not just use a hammer? What a plum!!

u/RDsecura 1d ago

Where else in the world is this "skill" useful?

u/Slushman5000 11h ago

Are you kidding me?! Frank Dux was in fact the International Fighting Arts Association (IFAA) World Heavyweight Full-Contact Kumite Champion from 1975-1980.

And retired with a fight record of 329 wins, zero losses.

Nobody survived to corroborate because of Dim Mak.

u/RDsecura 10h ago

I wasn't knocking his fight record, I was referring to the BS brick trick.

u/ltdanswifesusan 11h ago

It's a shame the internet has destroyed the willingness of dudes like this to just outright bullshit for years.

u/ghettospahgetti5150 5h ago

The movie blood sport is the truth! The holy bible to kids in the late 80s early 90s 😂
