There are certain achievements in life that do not merely mark progress, but define who you are and who you will become. Achievements of this magnitude are rare, and for that reason alone must be regarded as sacred. Receiving my Black Belt from a true legend, 6th Degree Black Belt Master Dustin “Clean” Denes, stands as one of the highest achievement in my life journey, and has profoundly influenced every spectrum of my being in the pursuit of success and greatness.
Training and cultivating the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a special path, but not all Jiu-Jitsu is cut from the same cloth. To have earned the full spectrum of rank, from White through Black, under one Master and one lineage is an uncommon and meaningful accomplishment. Undying loyalty and sacrifice are not optional; one must be prepared to die if necessary defending the flag of our Jiu-Jitsu.
I could write until the sun burns out about my friend, brother, and Jiu-Jitsu Master, Dustin Denes. Please click the link below.
A story from the beginning :
White belt To Black belt …”Never say die, its what you sweat for when no one is watching that truly forges your character, what follows discipline and sacrifice is results, Gold counts, concentrate on the winners, conventional wisdom is almost always wrong, go hard or go home, you don’t need luck if you have hard work, the secret ingredient is determination, time is undisputed it waits for no one, what would the you who is underneath the ground give to be the you who’s standing on top of the ground right now.. These are more than statements, than quotes, they are the truths that hold tremendous weight, and have repeatedly pushed me into achieving more and more in life ...Thank you Clean
Jiu-Jitsu is perhaps the center of the Temples training program off of which other areas of study are positioned. The warrior mindset is the approach we take to provide the diverse martial arts education our students will receive. We concentrate more on complete individual development to deal with reality, rather than preparing for sport competitions.
