"Dustin has a good grasp of the principals which make up the RKC system and the Hardstyle school of strength. He is an excellent instructor who embraces the "eternal student" mentality in his efforts to improve his skill as a teacher and a practitioner. He is strong in both body and character and is a true example of what it means to be RKC. I am proud to call him my student, my colleague and my friend." - David Whitley, Sr. RKC
