Recommendation:

"I highly recommend Denis as an instructor. Denis has a kenpo leader attitude. Denis has demonstrated the ability to achieve what he sets out to accomplish. He has articulated his desire to foster the growth of Kenpo in his country of Ireland. It is these, among other reasons that I have selected Denis Bennett as a Regional Representative of the American Kenpo Legacy Association."
