    Looking back, Tanaka needed this to help get him through the death of his son. Frank took on this burden to learn at the masters feet to give his mentor hope that the teaching will go on in spite of the loss of his son. And what better candidate to do that than someone who was already like family? In essence, Tanaka could see how deeply Frank cared about the art and his family. How much of a difference they had made in his own life. The philosophy that he taught him in youth was applied and the logic was sound. It was Frank's way of conveying gratitude for allowing him to be a part of his family. To raise him up from tragedy as Tanaka had done for him from delinquency. Brilliant writing and performance.

      However, in reality, Frank Dux, as portrayed here by Van Damme never did meet Tanaka, and he was never was in any Kumate. He never received any sword awarded to him and he traded in the sword to sea traveling pirates in exchange for the lives of young boys who were going to become slaves. Believe me, Bloodsport is a kickass movie. But this movie is completely bogus telling us about Frank Dux and the Kumate as well as being trained Senzo Tanaka, not even meeting him for even ten seconds.

In all his training scenes with Frank he stays stoic and stern faced, but the candidness he shows with his wife while Frank is blindfolded does a perfect job of illustrating how proud he is in that moment. Then in the final scene of this training montage, when he presents Frank with the katana, you can see the tiniest little hint of a smile across Senzo's face.

A true measure of a man. He will not show pleasure to his student because he wants the student to understand success is long term. It’s continuing in its process and development. Miyagi did the same a small nod or smile, it demonstrates to his student it’s not enough everything is in stages. My Father was like that extreme discipline, courage and strength.

      It's SUPER sad that the "real" Frank Dux was a complete and utter phony, but it doesn't change the fact that JVCD, Roy C., Lettich (Director), and the entire cast and crew were outstanding. The music was wonderful, the editing helped showcase JCVD while not taxing Roy, and there was obvious care put into the screenplay.
      My favorite JCVD film is still "Lionheart", though. :) All about making a little girl and her mother happy and healed. I *LOVED* THAT. And the entire cast and crew was---once again--brilliant. I only wish JCVD did more films like this, and just a few less like Universal Soldier.

      @@quentinwade6536 You are absolutely right.
      I took karate in the 1980's when I was about 8 years young.
      Only made it to blue belt.
      Finally decided to quit.
      A few years later I tried kickboxing.
      And just recently I gave a try at kempo karate.
      Even though I never made it to a high level belt in either of the arts I took up. These videos still get my adrenaline rush going in overdrive.
      I'm glad your son is also motivated by these videos.

      I can see where you are coming from. I can tell you're a true martial artist because a true one never puts down any form of self defense. He also understands the link between martial arts and how it actually corresponds to the yin and yang - having peace and balance. I myself love and practice Tai Chi Quan, study the Tao Te Ching, and respect all forms of martial arts. There is no one single form that is meant for everyone. The only martial art that is vague in balance and harmony that I have a hard time seeing a merge would be the art of Sumo wrestling. But if the men choose to follow it, who am I to argue.
