Frank Dux

Frank William Dux (lahir 6 April 1956) adalah seniman bela diri, koreografer pertarungan, dan penulis Kanada-Amerika. Menurut Dux, seorang ahli ninjutsu bernama Senzo Tanaka melatihnya menjadi ninja saat ia masih remaja. Dia mendirikan sekolah ninjutsunya sendiri yang disebut Dux Ryu Ninjutsu, dan mengatakan dia memenangkan turnamen seni bela diri rahasia yang disebut Kumite pada tahun 1975. Dugaan kemenangannya di Kumite menjadi inspirasi untuk film Bloodsport tahun 1988 yang dibintangi Jean-Claude Van Damme. Kemenangan Dux di Kumite telah diperdebatkan, begitu pula keberadaan Kumite yang dia gambarkan dan Senzo Tanaka. Dux bekerja sebagai koreografer pertarungan untuk Bloodsport, Lionheart (1990) dan Only the Strong (1993). Dia merinci dugaan pekerjaannya untuk CIA dalam buku The Secret Man pada tahun 1996, dan pada tahun yang sama ikut menulis cerita untuk film The Quest bersama Jean-Claude Van Damme. Dia menggugat Van Damme karena pelanggaran kontrak atas film tersebut, namun kalah dalam gugatannya pada tahun 1998. Dia juga kalah dalam gugatan terhadap Soldier of Fortune karena pencemaran nama baik pada tahun berikutnya, atas klaim mereka bahwa dia telah memalsukan dinas militer dan CIA.

Frank William Dux (born April 6, 1956) is a Canadian-American martial artist, fight choreographer and author. According to Dux, a ninjutsu expert named Senzo Tanaka trained him as a ninja when he was a teenager. He established his own school of ninjutsu called Dux Ryu Ninjutsu, and has said he won a secret martial arts tournament called the Kumite in 1975. His alleged victory at the Kumite served as the inspiration for the 1988 film Bloodsport starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. Dux's victory at the Kumite has been disputed, as has the existence of both the Kumite he described and Senzo Tanaka. Dux worked as a fight choreographer for Bloodsport, Lionheart (1990) and Only the Strong (1993). He detailed his alleged work for the CIA in the book The Secret Man in 1996, and that same year co-wrote the story for the film The Quest alongside Jean-Claude Van Damme. He sued Van Damme for breach of contract over the film, but lost the suit in 1998. He also lost a lawsuit against Soldier of Fortune for libel the following year, over their claims he had falsified his military and CIA service.
