About Us
The Blueprint for Success.
We don’t just organize trips; we provide a proven system for development. With over 40 years of combined experience on the mats and in the cage, our mission is to bring the „Dagestani Discipline“ to the global martial arts community. At 23yearsdagestan.com, we bridge the gap between amateur potential and professional execution.
The Foundation
Our training camps are built on the combined expertise of Lukasz Zielonka and Johannes Lüken, bringing together over four decades of professional fighting and coaching experience. Lukasz, a former KSW MMA Professional and double Black Belt in BJJ and Luta Livre, serves as the architect of our grappling and MMA programs. He infuses every seminar with the raw intensity and tactical precision of the professional cage. Complementing this is Johannes Lüken, our dedicated stand-up specialist. With more than 20 years in the game, Johannes provides the technical foundation in Boxing and Kickboxing, breaking down complex striking mechanics to help athletes of all levels find their power.
This system isn’t just theory—it’s a proven blueprint for success. Our coaching teams have developed elite European fighters like Alexander Wesner, Serge Neumann, Sofia Waschenko, and Adrian Lungren, guiding them to spots on National Teams and appearances at European and World Championships. Whether you are a total beginner or an active competitor, we offer you direct access to the same championship-caliber environment that built these athletes.
