Mientras el conjunto sea bueno, no soy exigente con las dimensiones, aunque una 95 bien puesta, es para mi el punto perfecto.
Jean-Claude Van Damme's karate teacher and coach was Master Claude Goetz. Jean-Claude studied in Goetz's dojo in Brussels, Belgium. Under Goetz's guidance, Van Damme developed an impressive array of kicks and strikes. Van Damme has also studied Taekwondo and Muay Thai, along with Shotokan Karate.
"In 1976, at the age of 16, Jean-Claude made his debut under his birth name, Jean Claude Van Varenberg. Fighting at the Belgium Open Championships in Brussels, Jean-Claude overcame a shakey start to stop Toon van Oostrum in 46 seconds. Master Goetz realized his young pupil needed more schooling before he was ready to compete again.
In 1978, after two serious years of training, 18 year old Jean-Claude entered his first tournament in Antwerp, Belgium in the Beginner's Division at the All-Belgium Open-Class Championship. Now equiped with more confidence and skill, Jean-Claude had little trouble in winning the tournament. He scored three victories; an 18 second knockout over German-born prospect Eric "Basel" Strauss, a 39 second stoppage over Michel Juvillier (Juvillier quit), and a 12 second stoppage of Orlando Lang.
Two months later at a tournament in Iseghem, Belgium, Van Damme won his second Beginner's championship with first round stoppages over fellow-countrymen Emile Leibman and Cyrille Nollet.
Van Damme's big break came at the Professional European International Kickboxing Championships in Brussels, Belgium. Fighting on the undercard of the main event between France's Dominique Valera and the U.S.A.'s Dan Macaruso, Van Damme knocked out France's Georges Verlugels in 2 rounds to win the Professional European Middleweight Full-Contact Championship. According to an article written by Mike Anders, founder of Professional Karate Magazine, " Van Damme was definitely an upcoming prospect." Multiple European Full-Contact Champion Geet Lemmens supported Anders opinion.
Van Damme did not rest on his laurels. He set his sights on winning the World Professional Full-Contact Championship. In a series of single-match competitions over a three week period, Jean-Claude stopped Andre Robaeys, Jacques Piniarski, and Rolf Risberg, in one round each, as he prepared for the up-coming world championships in the United States.
Van Damme traveled to Orlando, Florida in the United States, and entered the middleweight division at the World Championships. In his first tournament match, Jean-Claude climbed off the canvas to knockout hard-punching Sherman Bergman (Miami Beach, Florida, United States of America) with a round-house kick in the opening round. In his second match, Jean-Claude stopped Gilberto (Gil) Diaz (Madrid, Spain) in 33 seconds. However, in the quarter-finals, Jean-Claude was defeated by a Belgian fighter named Patrick Teugels. Teugels went on to become Vice-Champion of the World. In a rematch in Brussels a few months later, Van Damme avenged his only defeat by stopping Teugels in less than two minutes. Following the victory, Jean-Claude retired from active competition with a 15-1 (15 knockouts) record.
Controversy arose after Van Damme's film career took off because no record of his fights was available. This was due to his entire full-contact career being listed under his birth name of Van Varenberg, and some hype based to his 1980 defeat of Teugels."
