All I can remember about the movie is... that its about a young guy who is competing in some sort of martial arts competetion oversees (not in the U.S.) where he and several other opponents must travel through the countryside and fight certain opponents to the death. Their opponents are waiting for them throughout the course at certain locations. I believe the movie was made in the 80's. I know it's pretty vague, but that's all I can remember. Anyone got any ideas??

Sounds like Gymkata (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089243/)
