NINJAS ARE BULLSHIT! FASST/DUX RYU

What is the Dux Ryu  system all about? On  Frank Dux's website duxryusystems.com His FASST/ DUX RYU is highly touted by Dux himself.

Dux advertises that he teaches special forces groups police officers and other in military service this secret system of Dux Ryu.  It is further credited as "America's first premier and truly original martial science". Along with; "Frank Dux's  FASST program is what the martial arts is supposed to be..."

As you read the site you will see other statements describing the system as secret, original and created by Frank Dux's own legendary and empirical experience. Dux continues to boast that he has rare first hand knowledge of real combat.

This week ninjerkiller.blogspot.com shed some light of what's actually in the FASST /DUX RYU curriculum. The blog also provides the curriculum along with instr testing programv ia pdf files.

As I read thru the pages Frank Dux's  curriculum it is filled with movie references and strategies and philosophies of Musashi, Sun Tsu, Bruce Lee as well as concepts and technques taken from a variety of martial arts as well as techniques taken right from the pages of a movie script.....BLOODSPORT...secret techniques taken from a screen play.  FASST DUX RYU iSecrets of Warriorship is 200 pages of utter made up bullshit. To steal from the ninjerkiller blog it is a  copy and pasted, plagiarized work of total fiction.  As one reads the pdfs you should ask yourself will movie fight scenes actually work in real life?  NOT!

FRANK DUX HOLLYWOOD FRAUD PT. 2

I have the distinct feeling that this blog will be a long one dealing with the fabrications of the world’s biggest Ninja phony Frank Dux. Proving once again that Frank’s all time favorite subject is himself, Dux made the following post on social media:

 "On the set in the 1989 making of Lionhearted -- a fictional spin off on my based on true events story entitled: Bloodsport."

 Dux not only sticks to his claims that  "Bloodsport" was based on "true events"  which have been long debunked but he doubles down and is saying  that "Lionheart" was a "spin-off" on "Bloodsport," obviously he is  implying that "Lionheart" was also based on Dux's "true story" and his "further adventures" afterwards. Dux claim however was once again found to be fabricated and misleading.  

It seems that Dux, even  from the beginning,  was not as involved in the making of “Bloodsport”  as he would like to make people think. Sheldon Lettich wrote the script for the movie and has produced contracts none of which indicate Dux had a hand in writing the story that Dux claims was based on his life. Dux claimed the movie was based on his life and that he co wrote the script for it. In actuality Dux did not own the rights to the script for Bloodsport nor did he even write a script. Indeed the contracts shows that Mark Dissalle owned the rights and hired Lettich to write the script.  You can find  contracts for Bloodsport here. http://ninjerkiller.blogspot.com/2018/08/frank-dux-shoulder-padded-porkchop.html   

 Dux further  claims that he "retains all literary rights" to "Bloodsport". However Bloodsport  is currently owned by an Italian producer named Alberto Lensi, who bought the title from Mehrez..Alan Mehrez had  bought the rights to Bloodsport from its original rights owner Mark Disalle. Mehrez produced the "Bloodsport" sequels. So Dux never actually owned any rights to the Blood sport property.

 Despite Dux’s claim that “Lionheart” was a “spinoff” of Bloodsport . “Lionheart” director Sheldon Lettich, says that  Jean Claude Van Damme is the one who came up with the original story, and it had nothing to do with "Bloodsport" or Dux's "true story," or Dux's "subsequent career as an underground fighter," another boast which he has made at various times.

 Dux  desperately and continually paints himself  in a positive light  taking credit for work done in Hollywood that he simply did not do. It’s all self-generated smoke & mirrors. A attempt to hang on to a career that he himself destroyed with constant lies and fabrications. Frank Dux is a master con man. He is quite literally the man who put the "bullshit" into "Bullshit Martial Arts. As Dux systematically makes various grandiose claims about his brief involvement with a few movies, his Hollywood claims are being debunked and we are learning that he even lies about what he actually did in his brief stint in the movies.

 Frank Dux bullshit martial Artist and Hollywood phony…… Yes ”Ninjas are bullshit” all right and Frank Dux damn sure proves it beyond a shadow of a doubt, by screwing over the folks that actually did the work that Dux takes credit for.

FRANK DUX HOLLYWOOD FRAUD

Recently Frank Dux was boasting about himself online. Frank Dux's favorite subject appears to be Frank Dux. He was bragging about his involvement and claims to have "overseen" the fight choreography for the final climactic scene in the movie called Lionheart.
"That’s me overseeing the fight choreography in Lionheart s final climactic scene.  Originally the film was entitled The Wrong Bet.  Jean Claude Van Damme contributes his own ideas while he pretty much Directed all the action and camera  angles... in which he was trying to recapture success and elements of  my choreography Bloodsport final fight scene between him and Bolo.  If you compare the choreography you will notice the they are virtually same like the hand strikes to the knees, jumping spinning kicks, overcome a physical vulnerability/ handicap etc."
According to Lionheart director, Sheldon Lettich,  Dux is exaggerating his involvement, making wild claims, trying to hog all the credit. According to Lettich, the movie's director if you compare the choreography you will notice they are not even close to being "virtually the same."  He goes on to say that it was not  Dux's choreography as he claims both Van Damme and Michel Qissi had a lot to do with it too.  If you compare it with the final fight in "Kickboxer" you will notice similarities as well, and that was solely choreographed by Van Damme and Qissi.
Lionheart's director went on to add that even though Dux was involved in "Lionheart", it doesn't mean that gives him "carte blanche to boast that Van Damme, Qissi, and the rest of them were merely trying to "recapture" the "success and elements" of his choreography in "Bloodsport."  Van Damme and Qissi were also on the set of "Bloodsport," and both of them contributed a great deal to the success of those fights as well."
You have to take the many claims of Dux with a grain of salt.  In all honesty it seems Dux took to the credit for guys like Van Damme and not the other way around like Dux claims. Dux was fired from a movie project not too long after Lionheart because he couldn't cut as the fight choreographer on "Only the Strong" starring Mark Dacasscos. Lettich concluded with;  It's incredibly wrong and egotistical of Dux to claim more than his fair share of the credit."
This isn't the first time Dux's version of things that supposedly happened has been refuted. Dux proclaimed involvement with the movie "Bloodsport" has been disputed as well. He claimed to have had a hand in writing the script for Bloodsport as well as own the rights to Bloodsport both have which been refuted and disporoven by the movie rights various owners , producers director and writers.  Dux is widely considered a fake and a fraud amoung legitimate martial artists. Dux has also made claims of being awarded the medal of Honor for his service though Dux's military claims have long since debunked.
As a once big fan of the movie Bloodsport the fact that the movie involves a character like Dux is now a major stain on the film itself. His exposure as a fraud looms over the film like a black cloud so much so that once Dux was exposed for all his military and spy claims I never made an attempt to watch  the movie again or even purchase the movie on video or dvd.
