.`........@. THE RISE OF JEAN CLAUDE VAN DAMME!.-------------------------------- ------------..IN THE BEGINNING THERE WAS BRUCE LEE..SINCE HIS UNTIMELY PASSING, THE MART-.IAL ARTS WORLD HAS BEEN BESIEG ED BY.HOLLYWOOD HOPEFULS SEEKING EXPOSUR E.IN THE HOPE OF FOLLOWING IN "THE.LITTL E DRAGON'S" FOOTSTEPS. AND,THAT.IS, EXCE PT A YOUNG BELGIAN BODY-.BUILDER/MARTIAL ARTIST NAMED JEAN.CLAUDE VAN DAMME...FR OM THES START, VAN DAMME PROVED.EXCEPTIO NAL. IT WAS NOT JUST HIS PHY-.SICAL APPE ARANCE IN A FIELD WHERE.GOOD LOOKS ARE A DIME DOZEN. IT WAS.NOT HIS MARTIAL ARTS SKILL LEVEL, FOR.THOUSANDS HAVE ATTAINE D SUCH EXPER-.TISE IN THE PAST DECADE. I T WAS HIS.MENTAL ATTITUDE. VAN DAMME REM AINS.REFRESHINGLY POSITIVE WHILE MAKING. HIS MARK IN THE MOST COMPETITIVE.BUSINES S IN THE WORLD...JEAN CLAUDE OFFERS ACTI ON FILM EN-.THUSIASTS THE PERFECT BLEND: A.TRAINED ACTOR WHO ALSO HAPPENS TO.BE A CHAMPION BODY-BUILDER, A PRO-.FESSIONA L MODEL AND BLACK BELT KICK-.BOXING CHAM P. RATHER THAN JOIN THE.RANKS OF THOUSAN DS OF MARTIAL ART-.ISTS TRYING TO PARLEY THEIR SKILLS.INTO A FILM CAREER, HE SIM PLY LISTS HIS.TRAINING AS ONE OF MANY PO INTS IN HIS.FAVOUR..."I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE INTE-.GRITY OF MARTIAL ARTS I N FILMS," SAYS.VAN DAMME,BRIMMIMG WITH E NTHUSIASM.."THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS THAT PRODUC-.ERS OF THESE FILMS ARE, FOR THE MOST.PART, IGNORANT OF WHO'S WHO AND.WHA T'S WHAT"..EVIDENCE OF VAN DAMME'S BOX O FFICE.APPEAL WAS APPARENT FROM THE START ..HIS FIRST EXPOSURE TO THE AUDIANCE.CAM E IN THE FILM 'NO RETREAT, NO SUR-.RENDE R'. THIS FILM, FOR THE MOST PART.AN AMAT EUR EFFORT, WAS SIGNIFICANT.ONLY IN THAT VAN DAMME STOOD OUT.AS A RUSSIAN KICKBO XER. THIS WAS FOL-.LOWED BY THE HIT 'BLO ODSPORT' AND.THE FORGETTABLE SCI-FI FILM CYBORG,.WHICH, ACCORDING TO CRITICS, WA S .FINANCIALLY SUCCESSFUL ONLY BECAUSE.O F VAN DAMME'S PRESENCE...HIS NEXT EFFORT , KICKBOXER, WAS THE.THIRD HIGHEST-GROSS ING FILM IN THE.BOX OFFICE IT'S FIRST WE EK OF RELEASE.AND TOPPED THE VIDEO RENTA L CHART.FOR WEEKS. .."MY FATHER ENCOURAG ED ME TO TAKE.KARATE WHEN I WAS A CHILD. " RELATES.JEAN CLAUDE. "I WAS VERY SMALL AND.GOT PICKED ON A LOT. I TOOK TO IT L IKE.A FISH TO WATER, BUT I ALSO WANTED.T O GET BIGGER AND STRONGER SO I.STARTED T RAINING WITH WEIGHTS. THIS.WAS BACK BEFO RE BODY-BUILDING.CAUGHT ON, SO I TOOK A LOT OF TEAS-.ING FROM THE OTHER KIDS BEC AUSE OF.MY WEIGHT LIFTING."..HIS AMAZING KICKS ARE PERHAPS HIS.HALLMARK. SURPRIS INGLY ENOUGH, VAN.DAMME INSISTS THEY WER E BORN OUT OF.NECESSITY. "EVERYBODY AT T HE DOJO.(KARATE SCHOOL) WAS TALLER THAN ME,.SO I MADE A SCIENCE OUT OF STRETCHIN ..EVENTUALLY, I WAS ABLE TO REACH.EVERYB ODY'S FACE WITH A KICK. LATER.ON, WHEN I OPENED MY OWN SCHOOL, I.APPLIED THE PRI NCIPLES OF WEIGHT TRAI-.NING AND STRETCH ING AND MY STUDENTS.EXCELLED.".UPON ARRI VING IN LOS ANGELES, HE MADE.CONNECTIONS WITH CHUCK NORRIS. ."CHUCK BROKE INTO F ILMS THE HARD.WAY," SAYS JEAN CLAUDE, "A ND PICKED.UP A LOT OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT TH E.BUSINESS WORKS. HE REALLY THOUGHT.ME T HE ROPES. I KNEW, THOUGH, THAT.CHUCK'S T HE STAR IN HIS FILMS, SO I.HAD TO BREAK AWAY FROM HIM AND.MAKE IT ON MY OWN. TWO WEEKS AFTER.I BROKE AWAY, I GOT THE PAR T IN 'NO.RETREAT, NO SURRENDER'."..IN AN INDUSTRY THAT DOES MUCH TO.CRUSH THE SP IRIT, VAN DAMME HAS RE-.MAINED SURPRISIN GLY POSITIVE. DOUBLE.IMPACT, OPENED SECO ND AT THE BOX.OFFICE, AND HIS NEW FILM U NIVERSAL.SOLDIER HAS RECENTLY BEEN OPENE D.HERE IN HOLLAND...SIGNED.... .EARTHSHA KER..
