How Frank Dux Inserted Himself into Martial Arts History (part 2)

Image
While it is becoming increasingly obvious that Frank Dux has been embellishing (to put it nicely) his own martial arts background and history the reader must know he had to have some help. Obviously in regards to the theft of Sam Lonewolf's system for example Gary Lee was not acting alone. It was shown very clearly that Lee was enabled to do what he did with the help of Reverend Don Miskel. From there you can see clearly how far up the chain of the Black Dragon Retirement Society this actually goes. Frank Dux (above) as he prepares to yell at the Subway cashier for not putting extra pickles on his sub. This was a dark day in the history of the franchise. It is absolutely no secret now that Frank Dux has attempted on two ends of history to attach himself to the legacies of other martial artists and organizations. One was in 1969 claiming to be the winner in a match with Victor Moore , thereby being inducted into the BDFS as the youngest member at the time. The second attempt finds t...

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.

  "So far not one judan certificate that I have come across supposedly from my father has turned out to be authentic. Now it is quite possible that my father an 8th dan could have given someone a judan certificate. However, a tenth dan certificate coming from an 8th dan could only be considered honorary at the most, not a promotion. Since my father only claimed to be an 8th dan that would mean the recipient purposely misrepresented it to the public or their students as something more than honorary. This does not however explain the fake certificates like the ones mentioned and pictured above and below." ---Samantha Lonewolf In January 2022 Gary Lee was contacted by Samantha Lonewolf about his claims to be the inheritor of her father's system of Kenpo. As has been shown Lee has done every dip and dodge devised to get away from that pesky thing called evidence. The evidence? Simple. It shows Lee never inherited a thing from Lonewolf as he had been claiming steadily since 20...
