During the BlackCombat attack drills seminar on the 6th of January 2019 Bridport martial artist Scott McGregor received his award for the brown belt. Since Scott’s first graduation as a white belt a lot has happened.
While his previous grading still was under the rules of Anti Terror Combat, this self defence organisation got renamed shortly after and is now BlackCombat. http://www.blackcombat.org
All relevant rules apply the same way and Scott went in the recent months through this bone-breaking training.
