Title: Jean-Claude Van Damme and what he means to me, and my life.
Post by: Your Average GymRat on March 01, 2012, 04:10:03 PM
As I reflect back on my childhood, it wasn't easy. I was weak and sickly; the target of bullies. Afraid of my own shadow, I was picked last for team sports. I was beaten up and stuffed into lockers.

Then one rainy Saturday afternoon I walked into the cinema and saw the movie Bloodsport. It was there in that moviehouse that I found hope. I sat transfixed, watching Jean-Claude's rippling muscles and stupendous Karate kicks. It was there that I found my calling. I didn't know much, but I knew two things that afternoon: I would become a bodybuilder, and I would become a black belt in Karate.

That night I was furiously curling a rusty old barbell I found at the town dump until I thought my arms would fall off. I enrolled at the dojo with my newspaper route money and began training in earnest.

As the months passed I looked forward to each new Van Damme release. Kickboxer, Lionheart, Death Warrant, Double Impact...With every movement Of Jean-Claude's taught, ripped physique I found reason to carry on. I felt like he was a personal friend; someone who cared about me deeply.

My own physique began to explode with muscles, and my Karate training forged me into a weapon. I began vanquishing my former tormentors with a calculated ferocity which was frightening. The hunted became the hunter. I wandered the ghettos late at night hoping to encounter street blacks who would try to rob me, so I could implement the moves I learned in the dojo and smash the muggers and gangbangers with these iron fists and these nitro glycerine feet.

One day I looked in the mirror and saw Jean-Claude Van Damme looking back. I had arrived. I had completely transformed myself into a thing of male beauty, backed with awesome martial skills which enabled me to maim, destroy, and punish at will.

I will always be grateful to Jean-Claude Van Damme as the inspiration for what I've become. I'll never forget that rainy Saturday in the cinema. Thank you Jean-Claude, you're my special friend.

Van damme still doing well despite ruining his career in hollywood, he makes movies in eastern europe all the time, straight to dvd but gets paid well.

stallone was nice to give him a spot in expendables sequel which i think will be garbage like the original.

Rocky 4 is boring because the conflict is pulled right out of an ass. What did Drago do? His only crime was to be a boxer.
