Episode 684 - Hanshi Frank Dux

Hanshi Frank Dux is best known as the character from the movie, Bloodsport, but he is much more than that.

The important lesson I try to impart with people is that, when you stop being plural in your thinking, every aspect in your life changes. And you will be surprised in how life becomes that much sweeter because you;re not looking outside yourself. You can really taste what things are going on, you can start setting goals you otherwise thought impossible…

Hanshi Frank Dux - Episode 684

If you’ve spent any amount of time in the martial arts or done any quick research, you will find that Hanshi Dux is often known as a controversial figure in the martial arts. However, his discussion with Jeremy goes places you would not expect. Hanshi Dux started training at a young age, and growing up, really wanted a way to test himself. This interview goes there, but also goes places you wouldn’t expect, and becomes a lot more philosophical and contemplative than one might expect. Listen in and tell us what you think. ~Andrew Adams
