- I have two questions and was wondering if anyone out there knows...
-
- 1) I just saw Van Damme's movie "Bloodsport" again on TV - pretty good. What
- I'm curious to know is the history behind the guy he was portraying, Frank
- Dux. Until this movie, I've only heard of this guy once, but I gather that
- he was/is a heck of a martial artist. Does anyone out there have enough
- free time to give me a brief biography of him?
-
- 2) And I'm trying to find out all I can about this school of Karate called
- Goju-Ryu. From what I've heard from the guy that teaches it here at UBC,
- it comes from Okinawa and was supposed to be the basis of the 'Karate Kid'
- movies. Its supposed to be an old but effective form of karate.
-
- Comments, suggestions, info? Thanks all in advance.
