BLOODSPORT

     BLOODSPORT (based on a true story) stars Martial Arts Sensation JEAN CLAUDE VAN DAMME and is released by Warner Home Video with 92 minutes of "R" Rated color.

     This IS a Hollywood movie and NOT the usual Kung Fu movie!  It has a good story line with good actors, photography, direction, editing and sound track.   I definitely suggest you rent it at your local video store and you will enjoy it.  BUT, apparently every effort was made to make sure that no bulging crotches appeared on the screen, and the Continuity Editor had 100% success!  There IS one good blow to the groin.

     BLOODSPORT is the story of an Army Captain who goes to Hong Kong to fight at the Kumite, the annual "illegal" full contact main event of the oriental martial arts underground.  In one scene he is about to bed down with a lady reporter and he takes off his shirt and pants - and what do you see - bikini underwear!  A man who must have spent 10 years getting his sparring partners to use his nuts for target practice was wearing underwear?  I've seen lots of martial arts fighters who wear chains or spreaders on their nuts, but I've never seen one that wore underwear.  You seldom even meet a student who wears it.

     Frank W. Duk (who's story is told in the movie) was trained first in Japanese Ninjitsu; traditionally he would have worked out naked and be treated like a slave by his Master.

     There is a scene where Duk is strung up by his wrists and ankles, like drawn and quartered; that is a real test, but the real thing would be done nude and with another student using a cane (or bamboo stick) on the
trainee's ass and nuts.  The test might be administered everyday for a year.

     In the martial arts there are two ways of handling your nuts:
     1. Learn to pull them up into the body for at least some protection.
     2. Get used to full kicks and kneeing so you don't double up.

     Most students learn both.  There are about 10 methods of learning to control your muscles so you can pull your balls up into your body; some trainees can find a technique quickly, some can never do it well or reliably
- in any event it only cushions the blows.

      Also, some disciplines do not allow fighters to use the "easy" method.  In traditional Kung Fu disciplines quite a show is made by students to display their large testicles - in dojo tournaments, when they get down to
the last round, sometimes the cockiest combatant will have a younger student cane his nuts in front of the other fighter just before the match.

     I recently saw an underground match with martial arts students using electric shockers - a sophisticated version of a cattle prod, designed with a knife handle and used in place of a knife.  The 19 contestants varied in age from 18 to 22 and all fought naked, except two Vietnamese boys who wore G-strings made of white hanky material.

     The event was a double elimination tournament that took all afternoon and evening.  When it came down to the final match, the young man with the largest cock and balls of the two took a bottle of electrolysis cream (the
lotion they put on you to increase the conductivity before putting electrodes on for an electrocardiogram) and massaged it into his nuts and cock until he had a full hard on.

     The Ooh's and Aah's from the spectators and contestants were as impressive as the show the young man was putting on for his opponent; psychologically he had him half licked already, it took him ten minutes to finish it.

     Later that night at a private party, the 20 year old winner and his 19 year old cousin were demonstrated for the guests by their master; the young men each had a foot of chain hanging from their nuts.  The exhibition was
much rougher than anything we'd seen at the contest, and it was obvious they and their master knew how to entertain guys interested in BALLS.

     Several other contestants showed off their testicle and sexual prowess, ending with a very handsome blond haired blue eyed 18 year old with a gymnast's body.  When the display was over the host of the evening came up carrying a bucket, handed it to the blond and grabbed him by the nuts until he puked in it.

     The Kumite is at least 100 years old, but I'm sure it has been going on for many more years than that.  Many of the Japanese and Chinese contestants fight only in the nude and fully aroused - it has been reported that one oriental winner had nuts as big as grapefruit, another had nuts each as big as baseballs and a cock 13 1/2 inches long and as thick as a baseball bat.

     My "reporter" may have actually been a "story teller", or perhaps just a baseball fan, but can you imagine the psychological effect of a fighter dramatically stepping up on the platform, removing his bright silk robe and revealing such appendages.

     In a contest with apparently no code of ethics during the actual fights, the Kumite has very strict rules and traditions behind the scenes. The week long event has always been run by the Chinese version of the Mafia, for the purpose of gambling.

     It has also been reported they have a slave sale; about a year ago I saw a video tape made from a reel of 8mm silent color film, supposedly taken about 15 years ago, showing this.  It was very graphic and showed extremely rough handling, beating and sexual demonstration of mostly oriental teenagers.

     The couple showing me the tape were both college psychology professors who had meticulously memorized every word the original film's maker had told them; it was a twenty-four hour a day, three day commission auction sale. The first day they sold children and the second day teenagers.   The third day was reserved for "ineffective" fighters; the full grown martial arts
students who were bred for slavery, or they're family had signed a slave contract not to expire for several more years, or young men who just wished to remain slaves.  These students have gone most of the way through the
training system, but for whatever reason their owners think they will never make good fighters.  Such a slave could be used as a helper, janitor, masseur, disciplinarian, or trainer in a dojo.  They were also frequently
purchased by businessmen as combination bodyguard-sex slave.

     There was about 40 seconds on the film of an obviously occidental teenager being sold, and there were reportedly three such youths auctioned that day as "French" slaves.

     No cameras or recorders of any kind are allowed in the Kumite, but the film maker reported to the psychologists that on the first day of the event he saw a young fighter's nuts deliberated crushed by his opponent with the heal of his foot at the end of a badly mismatched bout; when by all rules you and I would go by, the fight was definitely already over.  There were no complaints from anyone, including the fighter himself or his master.

     At the Kumite, fighters and spectators are there by "invitation only". All combatants are thoroughly examined to make sure they are REAL men.  On the second day, a fighter who seemed very popular with the crowd, received
some unbelievable blows to the balls, including two knee drops while he was on the floor.  After the evening's action the film maker and his Chinese friend were invited to a "castration party" in the locker room, but there
were so many people that they were unable to squeeze in the door.  They had to settle for hearing the screams and the story being passed back by spectators in front of them.  Apparently one testicle was mush and the other
was badly damaged; the fighter's two friends were ordered by their owner to finish crushing the remaining ball before the sack was opened and the testicles removed.  He could never fight at the Kumite again.

     I am sorry to report that I do not have a copy of the above mentioned film, due to my greed in wanting a "first generation" copy of the tape; I could get a copy of the professors' work tape the next day, but we all
agreed it would be better for me to take the original tape they kept in their safe deposit box and have it copied professionally.  The semester ended, they went on a vacation, then I went on a little one, and finally I
found out they had accepted jobs at some other college.

     I have heard that there are "recreated" b/w stills taken in the early 1920's showing nude fighters and also many good locker room color stills taken in the last ten years; these should not be real, but maybe they are. If anyone has any material on the subject, I would like to hear from you.
