When he is done with that, I have every thing he needs to make a documentary on Chung Moo Quan, including a well researched 300+ page book that could be used for a script and all the resource contacts he could ever need to do it right.
Heres another trailer
Where did this “Jive” crap come from? Don’t make me get bruce lee roy on yo assee…

I posted that link a couple of years ago…
Did you? It seemed familiar to me but I couldn’t find it on a search. It was only a cursory search. I’d be eager to merge this with your original thread if you can find it, just for archival sake.
Didn’t Ashida Kim have the “World’s Deadliest Kata” called COUNT DANTE?
this guy is great. Count Dante is great. there is a school about 25 miles away that claims to be associated with him. its total garbage.
[QUOTE=sanjuro_ronin;823551]I wonder who will play Dante in a movie…My money is on Benecio DelToro !

sorry it took me so long to notice this

Now that’s what I’m talking about !
I remember reading some articles with photos about Dante in some martial arts magazines back in the mid-1970’s (probably Black Belt) - before he was killed. He allegedly died as a result of a “dojo war” that he himself stated. My overall impression of the guy was that that besides being an absolute lunatic - he was also a prototypical liar and fabricator of self serving and preposturous stories about himself.
Take a lot of what you read in the first post of this thread with a Giant grain of salt.

Actually, his student is the guy who got killed in the “dojo war”… they went into a kung fu school and found out they apparently had some weapons in there (silly karate people!) 
Dante died of some form of cancer, I am tempted to say lung but I don’t honestly remember… at the time of his death he was working as a hair dresser :eek:

He would have been a great asset to our forum.

I think we have enough ASSets
I think what makes him interesting is the mix of lies and truth. He made up an obviously fictitious background yet unlike the typical losers who do this now, Dante did some wild things that are documented like the “dojo wars” or robbing banks. Weird stuff

Troy,
With this you were an even bigger martial arts geek than me. I bow to you my brother.
they should realy change that.
for one thing, he’s dead and ofr another thing, he might be able to go for “one of the oddest men alive” but deadliest? No one is the deadliest except for the one who recently killed another!
if drop another ten lbs, I might be able to squeeze into it and look reel sexy this summer.
who am I kidding-more like 20 lbs.

Heh, heh, yeah, I know… I also have a near complete collection of the old black & white “Deadly Hands of Kung Fu” comic book/ magazine from the 70s, and have owned many of the old mail-order martial arts courses advertised in the comics & mags.
I’ve always been a bit of a martial arts history buff, so I love collecting all this stuff, but now I need to make enough money to get myself to the USKSF Lei Tai Championships in Maryland this summer, so stuff has got to be sold…
DEADLIEST MAN ALIVE! The Strange Saga of Count Dante…
… and the Black Dragon Fighting Society. Now available through Amazon.Com. Enjoy!
the original charalatan!
comic book ninja.
But interestingly, unlike most charlatans & comic book ninjas, there was actually something to him. 5th degree black belt under Robert Trias, former Midewest director of the USKA, was in both the marine Corps and the Army. Weird, but interesting life…
