| | Kumite (tournament) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The event was originally portrayed in the 1988 Jean-Claude Van Damme movie Bloodsport, in which Van Damme's character, Frank Dux, battles his way through the rounds, ultimately triumphing over a malicious fighter named Chong Li, portrayed by Bolo Yeung. |
 | | The character was, in turn, based on a real person named Frank Dux, who claimed to have been a CIA operative, and to have participated in a real Kumite tournament. |
 | | While no known Martial Arts governing body will acknowledge the existence of such a tournament, Frank Dux has claimed that he did, in fact, attend and win the 1975 Kumite, in which the events of the movie Bloodsport took place. |
