How Frank Dux Inserted Himself into Martial Arts History (part one)

Image
Karate in the 1960's was a different ballgame than it was today. Sure, there was point fighting matches but in those days the practitioners were usually former military men who trained in Japan or Korea enduring the same hardships as the students there even if for only a shorter amount of time. Martial arts were taking the world by storm. And it was at the close of the decade when Victor Moore would face off against Mike Stone in Pasadena, California in 1969 and win the light-heavyweight championship in that match. Stone was coming off of a record 91-0 record against opponents. Moore was able to win the match and history records this part as true. Victor Moore There is another side to the story that a lot of people have been hearing a lot about over the last many years, though. It seems that was the same day a young, gangly thirteen-year old whiz kid who trained watching through the windows of other martial arts instructors would make his presence known.

A Legacy of Lies: Frank Dux and the Truth of his Lineage

When I began the journey to uncover the truth of Sam Lonewolf's lineage and how it was stolen by Gary Lee and Donald Miskel I never knew the road I was embarking upon would take me where I am at this moment. Within days of the first article's release I began to receive communications from various people across the country who knew of Lee, his Sports Karate Museum, or had received certificates from him or Miskel. Each told a story about how they were ranked in the system of Samuel Lonewolf who passed away in 2013. Suddenly there came the phone calls across Facebook Messenger. Different members of the Black Dragon Fighting Society began calling me regularly wanting to know about their certificates in particular arts, the claims they had heard among the members they knew, and finally they came to the question of whether or not I was telling the truth about Lee and Miskel. You see for years since Sam Lonewolf's death Gary Lee had inserted himself into the place of "inherit...
