The Search for Count Dante Trailer 2

[KeniLeeBurgess]

Count Dante was more B T Barnum than Miyamoto Musashi. I have a bootleg copy of his book. I would not say it is anyway comparable to Go Rin No Sho. Although to his credit, he introduced martial arts to the US in it's early development. I would say he was a spokesman in the style of Charles Atlas.

Keehan was not a fraud...he was the real deal. There is no doubt that he created a persona to market his dojo...but he was the real deal.

[shihanUKS]

keehan was a publicity magnet...an eccentric...but not a fraud.He was the only promoter of mid-west karate on a mass level until Jimmy Jones took the reigns. Jones was Keehan's student but took a different route than his instructor and Jones was no fraud either.

[Shinkyu42]

It is nostalgia for sure....I remember seeing him and his lion back in 1964 in his dojo.

What a character! I look forward to the documentary.

Floyd Webb is being sued foir copyright infrigment boycott his film

[td121978]

Hmm why would the deadliest man alive be found cowering under the desk in the dojo he attacked with him and a few of his students?...The same dojo where his student got killed. Granted, he new how and who to market to, but not the deadliest.

[archanjo88]

I was not there I do not know. But what do you do when the cops show up, a man is dead and you are already on a beef? Or maybe he was scared shitless. This is why we make documentaries. to explore these kinds of questions from every angle.

[archanjo88]

Shino, no problem dude. You say what you think. No harm. Deadliest man alive??? Do I know? Dante was a loveable(or hateable)huckster, PT Barnum or the martial arts scene...he was martial arts in Chicago for a short time. His story is the emergence of martial arts in the midwest. As for Ashida Kim, he is more interesting than a lot of people even realize. These things need to be investigated to get a clear understanding. One thing for sure, Ashida kept the Black Dragon Society name alive.

[ShinoNoMono]

"see him fight or see him fight"?!! Fair point though. I have seen a clip of him fighting and he was fierce I'll give him that. He also had reasonable technique but he was also FAR from being the "dealiest man alive". I guess I would like to see a film of him, I was just annoyed because of the Ashida Kim nonsense on here and he's partly responsible for Kim! Sorry for my previous comment.

[ShinoNoMono]

Oh good god. The man was a fraud why is this being foisted on us?!

[archanjo88]

Why not. The worlds loves a great fraud. And then again, was he a partial or total fraud. Who knows for sure unless you research it? Did you ever see him fight or see him fight?

[charliekkendo]

THIS IS AWESOME. When?! WHEN?!
