Frank Dux is the subject of an action movie called Bloodsport, which is a biography about his life and fighting career. Stated at the end of the movie, this is all you need to know about Frank Dux:
From 1975 to 1980 Frank W. Dux fought 329 matches. He retired undefeated as the World Heavy Weight Full Contact Kumite Champion. Mr. Dux still holds four world records:
Fastest Knockout - 3.2 seconds
Fastest Punch with a Knockout - .12 seconds
Fastest Kick with a Knockout - 72 mph
Most Consecutive Knockouts in a Single Tournament - 56
The Kumite is a super secret, invite only, no holds barred, mixed martial arts tournament held once every five years. No one famous is ever invited because no one who has time to be famous can possibly have enough time to train to compete effectively in the Kumite.
To my knowledge no one has ever come close to breaking Frank Dux’s records. This fact makes him the toughest man who ever lived and the best fighter since humans invented the punch. And it is not unfair to say that anyone you have ever thought was a decent fighter would be pounded to a pulp by Frank Dux.
No one has the experience or the skill to approach Frank Dux’s epic feats up superhuman fighting strength. In fact Frank Dux’s records are so fantastic that people claim they’re not even true. Such naysayers would refer us to MMA today and muse about how not even the best fighters in the UFC or PrideFC have ever come close to the kind of numbers that Frank Dux has generated.
The simple answer is that the UFC is a haven for no talent bums who can’t hack it in the Kumite. Case in point, has any UFC fighter ever even been invited to compete in the Kumite? Fat chance. The sorts of fighters that the UFC attracts care more about money and fame than honor or true martial arts skill.
People may also doubt the number of fights Frank Dux fought, 329 fights in five years. If you count those five years to their entirety you get 1,825 days when divided by 329 fights gets you a fight ever five to six days. No one in the UFC could fight that often. So what does that say about UFC fighters?
But what about injuries? Even good fighters get cut bad sometimes, or break a hand, tear muscles or ligaments, get caught by lucky shots and knocked out, or lose decisions. Well Frank Dux isn’t just a good fighter, as previously established, he’s the best fighter to exist since mankind has invented the punch. So nothing like that could ever happen to him. No one can catch him off guard and he never makes mistakes, even if he did no one else in the world is skilled enough to capitalize on his mistakes.
There’s one point of contention I have with how Frank Dux is treated by naysayers; Chuck Norris facts are an example. Obviously Frank Dux should be the subject of these facts and not a second rate martial artists like Chuck Norris.
When I read Chuck Norris facts I can’t help but see how Frank Dux could make them better. For example an original Chuck Norris fact is: “Chuck Norris’ tears cure cancer, too bad he’s never cried.” But if you inject some Frank Dux in the results are superior, as one would expect when Frank Dux gets involved: “Frank Dux found out that Chuck Norris’ tears can cure cancer so Frank Dux beat up Chuck Norris until he cried. And that’s how Frank Dux cured cancer and won the Nobel Prize.”
Frank Dux is my hero and if he’s not your hero by now you should consult a neurologist.
