The Real Combat System is truly up and running with our 2ND Grading having taken place on Saturday 5Th of December.
The standard was once again amazing which continued on from the first grading. We were very honoured to have John Awesome Anderson and Brian collier taking their black belts with us. They both gave presentations as this by their own admissions was where they felt most uncomfortable. Both guys have graced the real pavement arena many times and having a fight would not be very hard for either of them. Both were very nervous about giving a presentation and especially as the presentation was about themselves. How ever when they had finished the respect in the room for these two guys was enormous and bearing in mind it was very high to start off with, this was some achievement. Matty and myself were very proud that they wanted to grade in our system its a real honour to have them on board.
Arron Clamp had to fight very hard to get his Black belt, which he did to a very high standard. Aaron showed great tenacity and courage accompanied by a good level of fighting skills and came through the grading with flying colours. We now have 5 black belts, Steve Deehan, Mark Chambers, John Anderson,Brian Collier, Aaron Clamp, a fantastic array of talent.
Everyone at the grading was fantastic and congratulations to them all on passing their particular grades.
The gradings are designed to take people out of their comfort zones (I think from the look on peoples faces we achieved this)
All growth takes place in the discomfort so keep it up!! Its easy to stick with what you know after all we all crave certainty, but with freedom comes uncertainty and that's scary.
Thank you to everyone for all of your continuing support, have a great Christmas and new year with love from Matty and Tony
