D'Antonio David
Encyclopedia : D : DA : DAN : D'Antonio David
D'Antonio David or "Soke Fujita" is an American Ninjutsu martial artist and instructor, who owns and operates the Bufukan Ninpo Dojo located in Audubon, Pennsylvania.
Fighting style, lineage and teachings
His ninjutsu style is called Koga Ryu Wada Ha, of which Mr. D'Antonio claims to be the last iemoto (inheritor), after 11 years of training with Sokes Harou Oyama and Fred Barnes [link].
He mentions having studied Tae Kwon Do, Aikido and Kung Fu, as well as the Iga style of Ninjutsu, although his greatest qualification and teaching preference is in the aforementioned Koga Ryu Wada Ha style.
His art name "Fujita" was supposedly self-chosen after his elder master, Soke Seiko Fujita.
Controversy
His name appears in the signature of two hatemail posts on the Real Ultimate Power internet site (or at least somebody signed with both his real name and Soke title) , a well-known Ninja parody site. Whether those posts were really made by Mr. D'Antonio or not, is hard or impossible to tell, as the actual e-mail is witheld by the Real Ultimate Power's administrators.
