"the kumite" as in the bogus competition that frank dux ended up tricking van damme into making a movie (a fraud decieving a ballerina- nice) about never existed.
Dux's "achievements were manufactured" (see link below)
The term "kumite" referrs to simply sparring. That does exist and should.
There are "illegal semi-ruleless tournaments" held in varying states- again link below. These tournaments are more like Pride with less rules. Basically it is not "to the death" and it is the ruleset which IMO Pride and UFC should operate. Of course they can add rules for sportsmanship.
"Underground fighting"

The kumite never existed. However stuff like that does still happen. except it has moved out of the orient and into places like the United Arab Emirates.

Kumite is just a term for contact sparring.It is a drill that simulates a real life situation. It is still used in modern times.

Yes study up on the Asian Martial Arts scene. They have this type of competition every year. But It is not the same as the one on TV, and in Movies. They are just tournements just like any other martial arts tournement here in the USA.
