British Sombo & Combat Sambo Championships and Trials
Biddenham
International School Bedford
Sunday June 30th 2013
Bedford
This was the BSF 23rd British Open I doubt if
many other Countries in FIAS can boast a record like that. There were doubt
that the event would even take place as the drop of in people participating in
Martial Arts and Combat Sports has been phenomenally distressing, the so called
imaginary Olympic Bounce has not happened to the Martial Arts and Combat
Disciplines. Yet through the hard work of the British Open Organisers Russell
Dodds the event was a undoubted success with over 250 people attending the
event, one of the best for many years.
Bedford is certainly the best venue being very central close
to the major motorways, just a few miles from the International Luton Aeroport
and has many reasonably priced hotels and of course we have the now famous
Bedford Grappling Academy with Russell Dodds at its head to organise events.
There were several foreign athletes at the event all were
living in this country, there were players from Bulgaria, Lithuania, Latvia and
Ghana but we were very pleased to see a team from the American Sambo
Association in attendance some of these lads are regular visitors to BSF event
and the are most welcome
First on were the children for many of them it was their
first Sombo competition, all them were Judoka so this was
a new experience. The general consensus was that Sombo/Sambo rules were much
more enjoyable as the rules of Judo were very restrictive especially where in
Judo you can be eliminated on a pin. In future the BSF will organise the
British Juniors on a separate day or include a smaller mat area at the British Open.
Sombo in GB desperately needs Lady Competitors but those that did compete were
of very good standard.
The men’s Sombo/Sambo was the event that everyone was
looking forward to. The 74k , 82k, 90k, 100k, 100k plus were all very
competitive. Vinnie Dragon won the 74k title as youngster he trained a great
deal in Sambo and this showed when winning this category, Lithuania has many
Sambo Clubs, In the u82 k class 20 year old Jamie Marzetti
won his 3rd British Open title, this year was the most competitive
event for him, the thing about Jamie he knows what Sombo rules are especially
the knowledge that you can pick your opponent of the ground and throw them for
maximum points this he did several times much to the delight of the audience.
90k Danny Carrott came up against his old adversary Danny Roberts, Roberts on
the last 3 occasions has beaten Carrott so most people were expecting him to
take Silver. No way! Carrott managed to pull something out the bag to beat
Roberts on a very slim point’s victory. Georgie
Georgiev is a Bulgarian who has lived in the UK for many years and has
become a regular on the BSF scene he is a real class act in both Judo and
Sombo. He won the 100k class for the second year running, if he and Vinnie
could get British Passports they would be eligible for selection to the British
Team. The 100k plus was one of the best entries in the British in many years,
Michael Hutchinson proved to be the best on the day winning Gold in his best
ever performance, not only did he win the Sombo he also won the Combat Sambo
the only person on the day to take 2 British Titles. Although not up to World
Class Combat Sambo standard, he still looked impressive seeing a 6ft 2ins 150
kilo and doing a round house kick to the head is something to behold.
A satisfied BSF Chairman Martin Clarke
There was only 2 divisions in the Combat Sambo and it Jamie
Wilkinson who was the one who impressed the Judges in the past all those who
have competed in Combat Sambo and SportCombatSombo have just used kicking and
punching forgetting it is the throw and submission that makes you a winner. Jamie
Wilkinson who trains at the Red Rose CombatSombo Club and is trained that using
his strikes to get close to his opponent and throw them was the way to win. He
was the only Combat Sambo Player who the selectors considered good enough to go
to the Worlds.
Robin BSF President being interviewed for FIAS Web site
BSF Chairman Martin Clarke recently met with the FIAS
Russian President Mr Vasily Shestakov in London the meeting was a great success
and a press release will be available next week. Because of this Andrew
Moshanov FIAS Head of Development visited the British and met with Chairman
Martin Clarke there has been some bad blood between the two of them and the BSF
but this face to face meeting has cleared the air, now they can work together
for the benefit of FIAS Sambo. Many in the FIAS should consider having face to
face with their rivals
