Hello everyone! My name is Roger Perez and I just received my Black belt from Master Carlos Machado himself in front of the Association Gathering, 18 October 2025. I came to Master Machado as a blue belt and have received all of my promotions and stripes from him directly. I teach and roll 6 days a week at my Academy with 2 other Carlos Machado Black belts at Dynamic Martial Arts in Wichita Falls Texas. Appreciate any help or votes the community can give to help verify my promotion. thank you all.
