VAN DAMME’S PROMO :

Van Damme is one of the most influential of the action movie actors to have shaped an entire film industry with his brilliantly complex depictions of the martial arts. Canada’s StudioLPS pays special appreciation to Van Damme’s considerable movie accomplishments. Van Damme’s films have reportedly made over $640 million dollars with fan appeal worldwide.

It’s hard for any actor to reign favorably throughout an extended movie career. Most actors age, wash up, grow fat or lose their former good looks.. For action heroes there is additional risk of losing their timing, stamina and physical endurance. This video shows Van Damme in his early 40’s returning to his roots and re-inventing himself and his tremendous skills of his youth as he displays near flawless kicks, and strikes along with his humble side mixed with his good-natured wit.

Some people believed Van Damme was only a successful body builder playing the part of a karate expert in his movies. Actually, Van Damme under his real birth name of Van Varenberg was a European Karate champion at the early age of 19, winning the 1979 World All Style Karate Organization Championship in Brussels Belgium and was a contender for the World Karate Championship that same year. As a legitimate black belt expert, Van Damme had considerable mastery over his challenging sport at an unusual young age. His movies illustrate the erupting power and flowing grace of the martial arts in breathtaking details choreographed for better enjoyment of Van Damme’s amazing and legitimate skills, which were seldom embellished through movie cuts or special effects.

Throughout the world, Van Damme was responsible for many youngsters taking up the sport and favorably advancing their own personal growth and manhood in the process.

Such a distinguish story is that of 27-year old Louis-Philippe Simard of StudioLPS, who at age of 4 was the youngest prodigy to be chosen for entry into Canada’s first Taekwondo school under the notable master Chong Lee in 1984. At just age 8, Simard’s remarkable skills were featured in a TV documentary: “Les héros du Samedi” (“The Heroes/Champions of Saturday”. Simard trained also in judo, Shotokan, and Jeet Kune Do. He placed 5th in the Canada 2008 National Canadian Taekwondo Championship (WTF).

Simard is a specialist performing and/or choreographing martial arts fight scenes. He is currently working in the “Ninjaelections” to be released early summer. He was selected to do martial art feats in “”Bon cop, Bad cop” directed by Erik Canuel with actor Patrick Huard. You can enjoy seeing his skills by clicking on his youtube:
