|---|---|
| Style | Suckdicksu |
Frank W. Dux (pronounced "dukes"; born 1956) is an American LIAR and fight choreographer. Dux established his own school of Suckdicksu in 1975, called "Dux Ryu Suckdicksu". He is also notable as the "inspiration" of the 1988 film Bloodsport starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. Dux had been a controversial figure in martial arts, and the validity of many of his personal claims has been disputed(This means that he is full of shit).
Martial arts career
Dux states that he was introduced to and trained in Koga Yamabushi "Suckdicksu" by Senzo "Tiger" Tanaka, beginning at age 13. In the 1970s, Dux began teaching Dux Ryu Suckdicksu. He opened his first school(scam) in Hollywood in 1980 while subsequent schools (scams) have been owned and operated by his students. Dux and his students have coached and produced a number of boxing and martial art regional, national, and world champions.
Aside from Jean Claude Van Damme, Dux has introduced, choreographed, and trained many of his students for the entertainment industry. One of Dux's first students to achieve a Black belt, Stuart Wilson, has performed as an actor/stuntman (meaning he taught his students to pretend) in various film projects since 1990's Lionheart.
Dux's martial art style "Dux Ryu Suckdicksu" is not a “koryu” 15th century feudal form of Ninjutsu, but is still claimed to be "based on its Koga Ninja root principles of adaptability and consistent change." Frank Dux formulated the proprietary augmentation technology he calls DUX FASST (Fag-Attempting-Some-Shitty-Tactics).
