Count Dante: The Deadliest Man Alive!
Benjamin Liu:
That page is pretty funny. It reads like it was written by a fanboy in junior high. At first I thought it was from Ashida Kim but it looks like it is by Ashida's rival to the ownership of the Black Cragon Fighting Society. I thought the other guy was supposed to be more reasonable than Ashida Kim, but I guess he is into similar over-the-top strangeness.
I've never heard of a "Supreme Grand Past Master" before.
I thought Ashida Kim came up with the term "fistic" but I guess Count Dante came up with it first.

i guess it was a term around before Kim and or Dante
Hock:
I particularly enjoy the fisticuliar manner in which fistics was used back then. One who predicted the outcome of fights back then was called a fistic mystic, I mean someone who knew about all things fistical.
I promise I will stop.

TLE:
'In 1973 Count Dante was requested to come to Hollywood, California by Counselor Films to do a screen test for the starring role in a Kung-Fu movie. The test proved futile due to the fact that the camera could not pick up his brutal, lightning - fast hand techniques. The motion picture studio's insurance coverage was canceled due to the injuries of stunt men and martial artists on the set because Count Dante did not pull his punches and kicks."
Geez....
