Hey Jack, I just remembered something interesting that I read in one of the Black Belt magazine articles on my site. You mentioned Bill Wallace. Wallace actually spent some time training with one of Dante's student's. Jim Concevic actually... the same guy who was killed during the "Dragon Wars". Just thought that was an interesting point to bring up.

No Francis... not even the people being sued. The BDFS claims just about anything containing the Count's photo or name. I can understand some of their concerns, but they really do push it too far.

Please everyone, also feel free to join my yahoo group at http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/1bdfs/ and help me spread the word on other blogs and forums. It's full of a lot of great newspaper and magazine articles about Count Dante if you want to learn more about this infamous individual.

Oh, OK Jack. I can understand that. I thought you were referring to the fact that he advertised in comics. A lot of people make fun of him for that. They don't realize those advertisements made him very rich... and legendary. We're still talking about him today!

Why is that good Jack. If you had joined his school you would have got to train with people like Mike Stone and James Jones Jr.. You would have gotten to meet other legends like Ed Parker, Robert Trias, Jhoon Rhee and even Bruce Lee to name just a few. Don't judge a guy by his advertisements.

Landowner... that's why Dante basically taught MMA and held MMA tournaments way back in the 60's before the UFC or organizations like it ever existed.
