The Deadliest Fraud in Martial Arts History (Count Dante)

Описание: The Rise and Fall of John Keehan - Would a Sensei Lie? How a Fake Count Dante Started a Dojo War. In 1970, a brutal gang war erupted on the streets of Chicago, but the soldiers weren’t using guns—they were using nunchucks, spears, and karate chops. This is the true story of John Keehan, the man who reinvented himself as "Count Dante," the self-proclaimed "Deadliest Man Alive."

We dive deep into the sociology of 1960s martial arts tribalism, the fraudulent comic book ads that built an empire, and the fatal night Dante stormed the Green Dragon Society’s Black Cobra Hall. Discover how this bizarro world of dojo storming intersected with the Chicago Mafia, a corrupt judicial system fixed by lawyer Robert Cooley, and the $4.3 million Purolator heist.

🥋 THE TECHNICAL TAKEAWAY: The Triangle of Force
Despite the lies, the "Triangle of Force" concept (Focus, Action, Skill) is valid mechanics:
Focus: Identifying the target before moving.
Action: The commitment of body weight (Redline Mechanics).
Skill: The removal of "telegraphing." Read the full breakdown in the comments.
