Northern Ireland Sambo Course

Colin Gary John

Since the early 1990’s Chris St John had been President of the Northern Ireland Sambo Federation and keeping the flag flying for Sambo in that country. In the mid 190’s BSF President FIAS Grandmaster Martin Clarke visited Belfast to give a 2-day course for him and his organisation. Since that date Chris has regularly attended courses and competitions in England
Since then one of his Pupils Gary Clarke (great name but no relation) has been promoting Sambo at his club at Enniskillen. To encourage him even more the British Sambo Federation sent over John Clarke BSF National Sport Sambo Coach and BSF Technical Director Colin Carrott to Coach  a course and examine Gary.
The Course was held at Fermanagh Lakeland forum Enniskillen and proved very successful and Gary was awarded his BCSA Level 3 Sambo Instructors Award. In fact so successful was the course that John and Colin have been invited back in August also both John and Colin are going to assist the Northern Ireland Federation in running the first Northern Ireland Sport Sambo Competition

With next years Presidents Cup being held in Scotland under the auspices of the Commonwealth Sambo Association and Scottish Sambo Federation, Sambo is being taken to all parts of the United Kingdom. Suggestions have already put forward that Northern Ireland maybe the place in 2017. There is one country, which the BSF does not have a national Organisation and that is Wales so we are looking for a representative in Wales so the Presidents Cup can be held in 2018 in the Country

IJF and Some Judo Coaches are wrong

Sambo/Judo 16 Year Olds win Judo medals




The International Judo Federation has decreed that Top Rated Judoka throughout the World cannot compete in any other Grappling Sport. I am surprised that IJF Judo Organisations tolerated this type of Dictatorship especially as it will not encourage other Grapplers to try Judo. Yet the decisions has been made BUT what has happened is unscrupulous Judo Coaches who are frightened to share their members with other grappling styles have been telling all their Judoka that they are not allowed to train with other styles, they also maintain that by training with other styles will ruin there Judo!

RUBBISH

I had quite a successful Competition career in Judo but I also competed and trained in Sambo and Olympic Wrestling plus I tried Kurash, Lucha Canaries and belt Wrestling, if BJJ was about when I was competing I would have tried that as well. Many other top Judoka have trained in other grappling styles and all agree it enhances their Judo.

One of the silly things people say is if I done another Grappling Sport I could forget myself and revert back to my rules RUBBISH Here is an example when I first started promoting Sambo in the early 1980’s I asked some Jiu Jitsuka to give it a try and their excuse for not competing was they may forget themselves and start punching, kicking and biting which obviously against the rules. I then confused them by saying would a Rugby player who also played football suddenly pick up the ball and run with it?

Three 16 years olds from the Young Judo Club/Warriors Grappling Academy Sittingbourne recently entered a Judo Championships at the famous High Wycombe Judo club and all won medals Gold’s Silvers and Bronzes in both their age group and the Adult section all have just got their Brown Belts and they were beating Adults and Dan grades all 3 have been to the World Junior Sambo Championships representing Great Britain.  Brandon Springet , Fergus Hamilton, Richard Seaman   train with John Clarke National Sport Sambo Coach who is also a 5th Dan judo. So what does that tell you? Also we had Ryan Coombes a Top class adult Judoka who is now training in Sambo he won Gold in his weight 82k and Silver in the open weight


So who is right the IJF and certain Judo Coaches who want total control over Judoka or those Coaches who say have a go to their adult players and try other grappling sports? You decide

World Sport & Combat Sambo Championship 2015

The World Sport and Combat Sambo 2015
Casablanca Morocco 

This Championships get better and harder year on year but it was pleasing to see many different countries winning matches and winning medals

This year the British Sombo Federation took 4 players:
 Emma Herd Sport Sambo u68k, Johnny Heron Sport Sambo u100k, Matthew Clempner Combat Sambo u100k, Chris Hoban Combat Sambo u82k
French TV interviewing Martin Clarke 

4 Officials:
Martin Clarke President  BSF, Robin Hyslop President SSF, Matthew Clempner Coach, Valerie Clarke Hon President BSF
2 Physiotherapists:
Kamila Kinga Gens, Jemine Thacker
3 Spectators:
Stuart Hoban
Connor Hoban
Gerald Tom Heron.

As per usual the stadium for the World Championships has 3 International Size Mats and in most cases has a very large TV screen, over the past few years FIAS (International Sambo Federation) has had its own TV Company which films it live over the Internet. The tournament itself was organised extremely well, there was a  few problems over the language barrier although this did not affect the British Team . The Opening ceremony was quite spectacular and loud.
When GB hosted the World Championships in 1992 there was just 12 nations remembering that was in the era of the USSR, which encompassed many Countries. Now FIAS has 82 registered countries with another 20 provisional members.
Matt Clempner in Red

On Day 1 we had just one fighter Matt Clempner he was one of our main hopes for a medal. In 2012 Matt had won a Bronze in the 100k plus Sport Sambo event but since then has lost weight and has been competing in various Strike and Grapple events with some success recently winning a medal at the Presidents Cup. Matt started the match at a steady pace putting some strong strikes and when they locked in we all thought Matt will throw his opponent but the technique did not work and they both stumbled to the ground with Matt being caught with a leg lock. Sadly the repercharge system only allows players to contest for Bronze if they lose to the finalist and Matt opponent went out in the next round.
A win for Chris 

Day 2 we had two fighters up Johnny Heron u100k Sport Sambo and Chris Holbon u82k Combat Sambo

Johnny Heron a very experienced Judoka who has competed for GB and trained in Japan but he had the misfortune to have the Georgian Loriashvili first round who was eventually to win Gold. As soon as they took hold you could see Johnny was in the wrong weight Category he eventually went out 8 pts. to Nil. His fight for the Bronze did not fare a lot better but on this occasion he pulled back right near the end to gain a point although he lost this was a better performance.

Chris Hoban came out like a storm in his first fight against the Czech fighter beating him 5 puts to 1pt a cracking win and our first win in a World championship for many years his next fight was against Kazakhstan which he lost but even this fight he showed no fear and was trading head buts punches as good as anyone.  The Kazak fighter went to reach the finals so Chris went to fight the Moroccan for Bronze, which he beat confidently even though the noise from the audiences was phenomenal. The Moroccan Team were no easy fights they had been winning matches in Sport and Combat Sambo throughout the Tournament. That was as far as Chris would go he lost out in the Bronze playoff to the Ukrainian. Chris was one of the Best GB fighters I have seen for a long time as he comes from Manchester not a surprise once he improves on his throwing Techniques I am sure he will medal next year

Day 3 Emma Imrie Herd Sport Sambo u68k
Emma a very experience Judo player form a famous Scottish Judo Family fought in her second International Sambo event. Once again she seem well out of her weight group as all the other players were bigger then her. She lost her only match to a Serbian Player who dominated the match. Emma put up a spirited fight and went the distance to lose on points
New Concept Coaches Box 

On watching the GB team over several years I believe our chances of World medals will come in the Combat Sambo and the reason I say that is the Combat Sambo players compete in many Strike and Grapple competitions and they train like professionals with Matthew Clempner Senior in charge of Combat Sambo he has a lot of International plans for them. The Sport Sambo players are not so lucky as the only other Jacket Wrestling they can do is Judo and with the IJF now telling all top level Judoka they can not compete in other Grappling Sports this is now being misunderstood by the majority of Judoka who think they also can not take part in other grappling sports. I believe the dictatorial attitude of the IJF will see an even further decline in Judo Jacket Wrestling like BJJ does not help Sport Sambo players because theirs is mainly a ground fighting sport while the emphasis in Sambo is throwing So the answer is for more sport Sambo events in GB no matter how small and for Sport Sambo to travel to Open Internationals. John Clarke Sport Sambo National Coach will be taking players to the Paris Tournament in May, there is the Dutch Open in March and a Belgium Open in February. From now on the BSF will only select people for World and Europeans if we consider they have a chance of winning a match, no longer can these two competitions be just to give players experience this can be done in minor Internationals.

Anti Doping Seminar

Much has been heard about Drug taking in Sport, our International Sambo Federation FIAS has its own Programme to eradicate drug abuse. Just before he died Russell Dodds attended one of these courses and I was given his participation certificate. Where ever I go Russell name comes up he had a massive influence on everyone he met even at the World Championships many were coming to me telling me stories about Russell he certainly will not be forgotten

FIAS Congress 2015

World Sport Sambo/Combat Sambo Championships
Casablanca Morocco
November 12th – 16th


The World Sport Sambo/Combat Sambo is divided into two sections the Thursday was the 27th FIAS Congress and from the Friday, Saturday and Sunday it was Competition event to find the 2015 World Champions


FIAS Congress this year was very important and we were told FIAS has 82 full member countries and 20 provisional members. This in itself shows how Sambo has developed over the last 30 years, in 1992 when Great Britain hosted the World championships in Herne Bay, there was just 12 countries in FIAS. In the early days of FIAS we could hold a meeting of Country reps in a Small Restaurant, which it often was, now we have to have a large meeting room with interpreters etc. to cater for the countries from all over the World.


Several very important issues were discussed especially the Calendar of Events I will circulate a full list at a later date, the next years World Championships will be held in either the USA or Bulgaria. Finance in Major sports Organisations is always a controversial issue but the Financial Report by Andre Klymanko was excellent, a very open and honest report something other International Sports Bodies can learn from.
 
BSF President Martin Clarke making a point at the Congress 
The major issue was that of the Legal Battle between FIAS and other group claiming to be FIAS led by David Rudman ( A well respected Sambo Player of the past)  and Mr Shultz. This battle has had civil and criminal implications and was very damaging for World Sambo. It was with great joy that the matter has been resolved without any of the above being proceeded. This was due to all parties getting together and resolving the issues. President Shestakov should be congratulated on this outcome as it proves that a good International President can put the interest of his sport before anything else and congratulations to FIAS Legal Commission led by India’s Suresh Gopi for taking World Sambo through these legal difficulties. Thanks must also go Dalil Essakali President of the Royal Moroccan Sambo and Tai Jitsu Association who organised the event.
 
Interview by French TV 
Some exciting news for Scottish Sambo Fans it was decided the next Presidents Cup will be held in Scotland in November 2016. For the past two years the Cup was held in Dartford and Manchester and was extremely successful the events came under the auspices of the British Sombo Federation. Next year to encourage Sambo throughout the UK the venue will be Scotland and will be hosted by the Scottish Sambo Federation a BSF affiliated group. Unlike the past where it was a British Team next year’s team will be a Scottish Team
 The coordinator for this event will be Robin Hyslop he has told me there will be a Scottish Trials in February to select a team for this event the trial will be open to all members who are Scottish and are members of a BSF recognised association. The format will be also different as there will be 4 Combat Sambo weight 2 Ladies and 2 Men’s Sport Sambo event and all positions in the relevant groups will gain points for an over all Winning Country

Also can I bring to your attention two Internet publication which have been very helpful to Sambo they are www.insidethegames.biz and https://www.joomag.com/magazine/sport-in-profile-uk-issue-10/0590499001443086811
 
FIAS also has its own Fan Club look it up on facebook and have your say

SA Sport Sambo/YJC Junior Judo

Southern Area Open Sport Sambo Championships

BSF Centre of Excellence

Sittingbourne

October 18th 2015



The Warriors Grappling Academy led by BSF National Sport Sambo Coach decided to organise this event at the Centre, which is also home to the Academy. Although the venue is small compared to a large Sports Hall its till has a 9m x 9m mat area and the most important part it was free. Sambo in the UK is the UKSport recognised body but does not receive any grant aid so everything has to be paid for via entry fees from competitors.
This competition was the most successful one so far held at the club it attracted fighters from all over Kent, London and Bexley. The fights were very impressive and explosive and had the audience captivated as expected the Warriors Grappling Academy picked up most of the medals. Sittingbourne was where the British Sombo Federation was formed in 1986 with just a handful of members. Now with have representation N Ireland, Scotland, England South West, South East, London, North West, North East, North and Northern Home counties.
The Warriors will be holding several Sport Sambo Competitions and Courses in the New Year.
National Coach john Clarke and English Sambo President Colin Carrott are of to Northern Ireland in November to to give a course
