Three are First Sport CombatSombo Instructors


Sport CombatSombo Instructors Course

Sittingbourne January 3rd 2010

Well 2010 has taken of with a bang for CombatSombo members, not only can we offer CombatSombo and CombatSombo Wrestling (Sombo Freestyle) we can now offer Sport CombatSombo as well.
For some time now I have been working with our Insurance Broker to get cover for Sport CombatSombo and I am pleased to say that with some modification to the rules which you can find at http://www.combatsombo.co.uk/sport_combatsombo_uk_rules.htm, the Insurance company has agreed to insure us. To coach Sport CombatSombo you must be an IBFBCSA member, Sports CombatSombo Coach and be covered by IBFBCSA PI Insurance. Part of the agreement is that I Martin Clarke Founder of the CombatSombo system must be personally responsible for maintaining standards. So my first job was to take my most effective Sombo Coaches and qualify them accordingly. Colin Carrott Warriors Grappling Academy Sittingbourne, Ian Parker and Russell Dodds all passed the course with flying colours and become the only 3 coaches in the UK licensed to teach Sport CombatSombo along with me Martin Clarke.

Sport CombatSombo is a mixture of grappling and striking or rough translation would be a mixture of Kickboxing and Judo/Sombo. CombatSombo was invented and founded by Martin Clarke and was recognised by the International Body FIAS in 1990 as a style of Sombo, it also is a registered Trade Mark and is recognised by the UK Governing body for Sombo the British Sombo Federation. With the collapse of Communism the eastern block came up with their own system which they called Combat Sambo or Sambo Combat this is a much more vicious system and allows a lot more dangerous Techniques which are outlawed in the UK. The British Sombo Federation does not recognise Sambo combat or Combat Sambo as it does not meet the criteria of a safe Sport for All
