Ismaïl Aissati (Arabic: إسماعيل العيساتي) (born August 16, 1988 in Utrecht) is a football player for AFC Ajax. He plays as an attacking midfielder who possesses flair and vision. Being born to Moroccan parents in the Netherlands, he is still allowed to play for either national team, should they want him, until he is 22 years old. He also played on loan for FC Twente during the second half of the 2006/07 season.

On October 19, 2005 he made his first UEFA Champions League appearance for PSV Eindhoven. In doing so, he became the youngest Dutch player ever to play in the UEFA Champions League, taking over from Ryan Babel, who debuted also at age 17, but eight months older. In the match against A.C. Milan he came off the bench in the 63rd minute. However, on November 1, 2005 PSV Eindhoven played the return match against A.C. Milan where he played the whole match, with Andrea Pirlo as opponent, playing with confidence.

Aissati is seen as a great talent and he is one of the most promising Dutch players for the future. At the 2006 UEFA Under-21 Football Championship, Aissati reached the tournament all star squad, mostly playing against 5 or 6 year older opponents, Aissati himself being 17. Aissati was linked to European giants A.C. Milan, Inter Milan, Valencia CF, Sevilla FC as well as Arsenal. In September 2006 A.C. Milan made a bid of around 11 million, but PSV rejected the offer and said he won’t leave for less than 15 Million.

In January 2007, Aissati was loaned out to FC Twente. On January 20, 2007, he played his first Eredivisie game for FC Twente against RKC Waalwijk.[1]

On 19 July 2008 Aissati agreed to sign a contract with AFC Ajax after passing his medical. Aissati will be only the fourth player in history to move from PSV to Ajax. Gert Bals, Peter Hoekstra and Kenneth Perez were the others.

THE QUEST:

As a child, Van Damme (birth name Jean-Claude Van Varenberg) hid himself in comic books and listen to Beethoven music. To help overcome his extreme shyness and overcome his timid nature - his father enrolled his young son into a famous Shotakon Karate school run by Goetz. By sheer will and determination he shaped himself into fighter winning his first karate match at 16 and then becoming at the extremely young age of 19 the Full Contact European Professional Kickboxing Championship. Subsequently, he turned his martial art skills into high profit by becoming an action/adventure movie hero with an appreciable following the world over. His numerous films have since grossed over $1-Billion in world-wide sales.

As an established action star, Van Damme took a hand at not only co-writing the script for the 1996 movie The Quest but he also directed it. As a youngster, Van Damme loved movies. As an adult he had a left over yearning for what he called the flavor of the “Errol Flynn-type pictures”. This ingredient was missing he felt from the high-adventure movies of more recent years. Van Damme used his star power clout to get behind the cameras and try to produce a modern fable dealing with the marital arts in an old-fashioned melodrama.

The 1925 period setting of The Quest allowed Van Damme to dwell fondly on his own mostly imagined world of his bygone youth. Van Damme directs several movie sequences with unexpected flair as a first time director such as the 1925 period street scenes of New York where the story essentially begins with Van Damme being a petty pickpocket thief leading a clan of young orphans suggesting a hint of Oliver Twist . Van Damme also beautifully captures a wide variety of exotic film locations as the epic unfolds much like a Jules Vernes numinous tale of world travel to a remote land.

The Quest, to many appeared to be a Van Damme film directed to youngsters as a salute to his own fond childhood fantasies. Unlike most of Van Dammes films containing extreme VanDammage and a high violence count, this film had mostly bloodless violence and was favored with a PG-13 rating allowing for a greater mass viewing world-wide.

As a spin-off of the 1988 hit Bloodsport, Van Damme playing Christopher Dubios, an agile and talented pickpocket thief, escaps from New York police and mobsters by hiding aboard a freighter as it pulls from port. Unknown to Dubios, the freighter is controlled by gun smugglers who force Dubios into slave labor until reaching an Asian destination where the freighter is attacked by pirates. Dubiois is captured and sold to a kickboxing trainer. Given to his surprising ability to learn Mauy Thai, Dubios is trained to enter a Tibetan tournament were the prize is an ancient, valuable golden dragon statute.

The film then focuses on some 25-minutes of various styles of martial arts in a Kumite-like setting called the Ghang-gheng held in the Lost City of Tibet. Van Damme mixes history and fantasy but uses 15 authentic and very talented fighters from Germany, Soviet Union, Scotland, Spain, Turkey, Brazil, Siam, South Korea, Greece, France, China, Japan, Okinawa, Kenya, U.S, and Mongolia for his movies fight elimination bouts. These fighters highlight one-on-one their culture fighting skills. Of course, Van Damme wins over the defending Mongolian fighter just as the audience expects. But, Van Damme has treated the audience to some spectacular fight scenes in the process.

The Quests fight scenes are so elaborately filmed that a single fight move might contain more than 20 camera angles capturing in slow-motion choreographic splendor the raw, gritty power and flowing beauty of the skilled martial art talent that might otherwise be missed by the typical members of an audience not necessarily skilled in the martial arts themselves. Van Damme proves himself through his directing to be a deep thinker capable of depicting intricate fight choreographic with relevant social context to favorably shape a sportsmanlike attitude for youngsters and wet the appetite for older viewers as well. Van Damme even performs with some noticeable improvement to his acting. The movie enjoys a tremendous benefit from the awesome music delivered by music editor David Bondelevitch; he was nominated for a Golden Reel Award Best Sound Editing.

Bloodsport Redux {2008}
Jean-Claude Van Damme Highlights.

Bloodsport 2 was rumored/canceled.
__________________________________

World’s Famous Martial Art in History

The movie 1988 “Bloodsport” remains one of the best entertaining martial arts movies of it’s time and is considered a cult classic. This movie introduced Jean-Claude Van Damme and made him both a star and an International icon to a world-wide audience. The movie showcased Van Damme’s amazing athletic abilities, and his genuine martial art skills.

At age ten, Jean-Claude Van Damme of Brussels (real name Van Varenberg) took Shotokon karate lessons. At age 16 he won his first tournament in 46 seconds. He won his black belt at age 18 and won the European Professional Karate Association’s middleweight championship at age 19. He had a fight record of 16 knock-outs to l loss. As a kickboxer, Van Damme also studied Taekwondo and Mauy Thai.

Additionally, an impressive array of international martial artists and their captivating and — at times spectacular fighting styles, ranging from Kung Fu to Jeet Kune Do and Muay Thai are displayed.

Part of the mystique of Bloodsport is it is said to be based on the 1975-180 real life experiences of Frank Dux an American from California. Dux a skilled martial artist claimed to be first Westerner to win the secret, underground Martial Arts Competition known as the Kumite. In reality, Dux maintains he fought and “won” his Kumite tournament in Jamaica; the movie Bloodsport, nonetheless, takes place in Hong Kong. Dux choreographed the fight scenes for the film and provided the basic script for Bloodsport. The fight scenes are the main attractions of the movie; plot and acting take a back seat. As the “strong and silent type” Van Damme handles his star role well enough, but he - like Bruce Lee had only marginal English skills.

“Bloodsport” tells the story of Frank W. Dux (Jean Claude Van Damme), trained from youth in Ninjutsu by a Japanese master, Senzo Tanaka (Roy Chiao). To honor his mentor, Dux leaves for Hong Kong to participate in the Kumite —where the world’s best martial artists are secretly and invited every five years.

The movie unfolds showing the intense preparations for the Kumite by a number of different skilled fighters (climbing trees, smashing coconuts or breaking large ice blocks and strong boards). Dux’s past training is highlighted. The film skips to Dux’s present workout in a military gym, where his participation in the Kumite is in doubt when officially prohibited from attending. Feigning need for a shower, Dux escapes the base and makes his way to Hong Kong meeting fellow American contestant, Ray Jackson (Donald Gibb) and a female American journalist, Janice Kent (Leah Ayres), who is attempting to write about the clandestine, illegal event.

The tournament begins, Dux beats all of his opponents, including a Syrian fighter (Bernard Mariano), a Muay Thai kickboxer (Paulo Tocha), and a formidable Sumo wrestler (David Ho) advancing to the third and final day of the tournament to face defending Kumite champion, Chong Li (Bolo Yeung who incredibly was 49 year old at time of filming but looking like 30). Li is the callous villain and when discovering Dux to be the better fighter, stoops to throwing salt to blind Dux during the match. Unable to see, Dux relies on his keen sense to fend off Li and then to resoundingly win. The film closes with Dux returning to the United States and screen shows statistics detailing the real-life achievements Frank W. Dux’s such as having the fastest recorded knock out record.

The soundtrack, composed by Paul Hertzog uses synthesized sounds and classical Asian instrumentation featuring: Fight to Survive, On My Own-Alone and Steal the Night. Van Damme and the 1988 “Bloodsport” motivated a resurgent interest in the martial arts not seen since the untimely death of Bruce Lee some 15 years earlier in 1973.
