Here's the photo from the promotion.

- Sam Osman competes (and wins) at the Pans in the Brown Belt Master Medium Heavy division.
- Omar Sabha (the silver medalist from the same division) comments on the photo with a link to a Facebook post from December of last year, which is Sam's instructor (Scott Schilling)promoting him to black belt.
