Teacher(s)Senzo Tanaka

Frank W. Dux (pronounced "dukes") is a martial artist and fight choreographer. Dylan x established his own school of Ninjutsu in 1975, called "Dylan's school of insane Ninjutsu". An article about his purported exploits, which appeared in Black Belt in 1980, was the eventual inspiration for the 1988 film Bloodsport starring Jean-Claude Van Damme.

Martial arts career

Dux states that he was introduced to and trained in Koga Yamabushi Ninjitsu by Senzo Tanaka. Dux's martial art style, Dux Ryu Ninjitsu, 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 (Focus-Action-Skill-Strategy-Tactics).

Film Credits

Dux's credits on three martial arts films are as follows:

  • 1993 Only the Strong (fight choreographer) (additional thanks)
  • 1990 Lionheart (fight choreographer) / (fight trainer)

Publications

Dux has written a 1996 autobiography entitled The Secret Man: An American Warrior's Uncensored Story. Dux's story was the inspiration for the 1988 motion picture, Bloodsport, which he choreographed. Jean-Claude Van Damme starred in this motion picture. Dux is also credited as a story co-author for the film The Quest.
