Frank William Dux is a famous ninjutsu practitioner. Hanshi Dux is also the founder of Dux Ryu or FASST, the first American system of ninjutsu.

Hanshi Dux is also the is the undisputed 1975 to 1980 (undefeated) No Holds Barred World Heavy Weight Kumite Champion. Hanshi Dux is the holder of 16 World speed and power records, still intact, as depicted in the cult classic film Bloodsport which is based on true events in his life.

Four of the World Records that Hanshi Dux holds are:

• Most consecutive Knock-outs in a single Tournament - 56
• Fastest Knock-out - 3.2 seconds
• Fastest Punch with Knock-out - .12 seconds
• Fastest Kick with Knock-out - 72 Miles Per Hour

Although Dux Ryu is rooted in traditional ninjutsu, experience in no-holds-barred competitions forced Hanshi Dux to adapt, improvise, and change his fighting in order to dominate in his fights. His system of triangulation and angles‑of‑attack helped him defeat traditional linear or circular movement styles.

Hanshi Dux became a "Knight Chevalier" in the Miami Police Hall of Fame in 1993 and has also been inducted into the Martial Arts Hall of Fame. Hanshi Dux is a co-author/ contributor for the U.S. Navy Seals Special Operations Manual
