ETC Castle Rock is excited to host Professor Dustin Denes for a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu seminar!
In 1999, Dustin traveled Brazil with his friend and mentor Antônio Rodrigo “Minotauro” Nogueira. He then moved to Rio de Janeiro to maximize his progress in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He spent more than two years as a brown belt with the Brazilian Top Team, competing against and beating the best in Brazil. He became Brazilian Champion in 2000 and achieved the rank of Black Belt in the fall of 2001.
After a professional mixed martial arts debut in Japan, Dustin returned to the United States and accepted an opportunity to be part of a new team. He chose to compete and strive for success in Mixed Martial Arts for years to come. Dustin played a major role in the founding and first generation of the American Top Team.
