D'Antonio, David Joseph

Military records reveal served less than 30 days, No Active Duty or Overseas Assignments, No Military Education or Specialized Training, No Decorations or Awards issued. Military Records

Mr. D'Antonio owns and operates the Bufukan Ninpo Dojo located in Audubon Pennsylvania. He is known to make the aforementioned claims about his military service to entice people into joining his school for money. He also has a long list of degrees and certifications that he is known to use as a recruitment tool. Former friends, students and other martial artist strongly contest Mr. D'Antonio's background and say that it is as fraudulant as the claims he makes about his military service.

When confronted about his claims or credentials it is reported that Mr. D'Antonio becomes extremely angry and hostile.

When SPEC/SEC initially inquired about his qualifications he e-mailed back that he was indeed a former Force RECON Marine and his affiliate (seen below) was a former US Navy SEAL. After pressing him for more details about his service Mr. D'Antonio admitted in writing to us that he had lied to us about being in Force RECON and admitted to having been put out of the USMC on an ELS discharge. He has since recanted his written apology and has continued to make his outragous claims. Apology
