The Legend/Myth of Frank Dux
The story of Frank Dux is like that of the search for Bigfoot. As much as I want to believe all of the his stories; from his career as a covert operative, his Kumite fighting, and his writing and consultation in Hollywood, there is a certain part of me that just can’t imagine that all of these tales really happened. Frank’s life told my Mr. Dux is so remarkable that it reads more like a sequel to a Forrest Gump movie than an actual person who has developed relationships with countless people over the years. Many of Frank’s travels and stories can be documented in some way or another but for every picture that exists of Mr. Dux in some far away foreign land; there are stories of his exploits that we are unable to verify. There is no doubt that Frank is a legendary Martial Artist who has developed his own system that he still teaches to this day, but for the legend of Frank Dux to be believed, we as a public need more than his word and that of a few of his closest friends and pupils.
When I think of Frank Dux I immediately think of the movie Bloodsport and the impact it had on me as a kid. I have carried my love of action movies and martial arts for the last 30 years and it is in large part due to the story of Frank and his victory in the Kumite.
