Black Belts --To date: in my 19th year as a Black Belt, only 3 individuals have achieved the rank of Black Belt under Dustin Denes / Chop Master. No handouts here. No points for attendance only. No points for groundwork in itself, wrestling and/or Judo is necessary. 100% of fights will start on the feet! Champion mindset is a mandatory.

​Only credit for Disciplined PROGRESS // Commitment and RESULTS

Быть знаменитым некрасиво.

Не это подымает ввысь.
Не надо заводить архива,
Над рукописями трястись.

Цель творчества самоотдача,
А не шумиха, не успех.
Позорно ничего не знача,

Быть притчей на устах у всех.
