Congrats!!!
Congratulations, Joe!!! You are a terrific instructor and a great friend. All of us in Statesville are honored to know you and have you as our instructor.
Congrats. Who did he get it from?
Congratulations, Joe Hurst is a great asset to BJJ and the Law Enforcement community. He is one of the top instructors around and an honorable man. I believe he recieved his promotion from Daniel Moraes {Royler Gracie Black Belt}.
I want to thank Dassio Silvia (Barra Gracie) for giving me the black belt and Daniel Moraes (congrats to him for his 4th Mundial World title at 22 years old)for teaching so much good technicque for the past years It has been 12 years and I have to thank Relson Gracie for the teching and opening all the doors,and Carlos Lemos Jr. for all his help, Marcello Clemente for putting up with me for for those months in Brazil different times and Saulo that guy is a Phenom and mostly my family that sometime suffered to help me make this long journey, it has been a long road. I don't compete alot but I teach 5 days a week to SWAT and Police and plus my academies and train my technique. I may compete again in a year or so, after several surgerys.
A Black belt is simply a white belt that never quit.
I wanted to properly thank all that got me here.
Thanks
Joe Hurst
