Grandmaster Chief Adrian Roman Worldwide Respected USA.
Grandmaster “Chief” Adrian Roman
The Chief has worked on the hit television series “Walker, Texas Ranger”. He is a songwriter and new author. His new book "The Apprentice Warrior" is about practical self-defense has just been released. He is currently authoring a suspense novel about the discrepancy and injustices within the Choctaw Nation to be published in the near future. Today, the Chief lives in Dallas, TX and offers personal instruction in Falammichi-Native Kenpo (advanced self-defense) and American Kenpo (Ed Parker System). Red Warrior/Tushkahoma, Master knife Defense and Apprentice Warrior System (practical self-defense),began studying Martial Arts with Grandmaster Adrian Roman, ‘Chief,’ as he is known throughout the Martial Arts world, nine years ago. Chief is a full-blood Choctaw. He was born in 1942 in an Indian hospital in Talihina, Oklahoma. In 1957 the Bureau of Indian affairs relocated his family to Dallas.
Chief was an athlete while growing up and went into martial arts as a young man, studying under masters in the field becoming a 9th degree Kenpo instructor as well as Grandmaster of Tushka-homma, a fighting art he developed to honor his native people. He is in several halls of fame for martial artists.
For 35 years Chief’s teaching has been an embodiment of the Choctaw word ‘falammichi” a word often translated as ‘defending’ but it means far more than that.
‘Falammichi’ also means repaying, restoring, refunding, renewing. The same word means one who practices falammichi. Chief teaches how to take someone’s aggressive grasp or punch and take control, repaying him for his aggression but only in order to return things to their proper place

Although Dux Ryu is rooted in traditional ninjitsu, 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 was the 1975-1980 World Heavy Weight Kumite champion and is the holder of 16 world speed and power records. He is a qualified instructor in 22 disciplines and was the inspiration for the movie "Bloodsport."

The Frank Dux Controversy From Wikipedia
Dux has been a controversial figure in the martial arts community as the validity of many of his personal claims have been disputed publicly. First, his claim to be the winner of a secret underground no-holds-barred martial arts competition, "The Kumite," as profiled in the movie Bloodsport, is by definition unverifiable. The Los Angeles Times reportedly claimed that Dux's displayed Kumite trophy was ordered and picked up just a few miles from Dux's Southern California home. Dux, in rebuttal, states that The Los Angeles Times used a receipt with an incorrect spelling of his name to back up their claim.
In his book The Secret Man (1996, ReganBooks), Dux claims that Director of Central Intelligence William Casey approached him to become a contract paramilitary agent for the Central Intelligence Agency in missions around the world. This, again, is by definition unverifiable, and many have called it into question.
In a November 1998 article titled "Stolen Valor: Profiles of a Phony-Hunter," Soldier of Fortune magazine accused him of falsifying his military record.[1] Photos of him in uniform are presented as showing both Army and Marine decorations and medals, inconsistent with his personal statements. Dux has stated that those pictures were from a costume party and not indicative of his past record.
Dux sued Robert Brown, Alexander McColl, Larry Baily and Soldier of Fortune magazine for libel and slander; Case No: BC198883, Superior Court of California, Los Angeles County. This was in response to accusations of his making false and exaggerated claims of elite U.S. military and CIA service to embellish his credentials and market himself.Dux failed to overcome the burden of proof as to actual malice as per New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, 376 U.S. 254 (1964), the United States Supreme Court case which established the actual malice standard which has to be met before press reports about public officials or public figures.
In Stolen Valor: How the Vietnam Generation Was Robbed of Its Heroes and Its History, author B.G. Burkett allegedly requested Dux's Marine Corps records from 1975-1981 via the Freedom of Information Act. This demonstrated that he was stationed with Marine Corps Reserves during this period and never saw overseas action, contrary to his claims.
In a 1998 trial against Jean-Claude Van Damme, Dux's friends said some of Van Damme's claims were not true and the "testimony damaged Dux's credibility."
