Matt and Unit 7 gym
This weekend myself Valerie John and his wife Rebecca
travelled to Manchester. The reason we went was that there was to be at the
English Combat Sambo Championships but this was postponed at the last moment
because of Technical difficulty. As the Hotel was paid for we decided to go anyway
as we had to have a meeting with Matthew Clempner who is in Charge of Combat
Sambo in Great Britain. John who in charge of Sport Sambo in GB, myself as BSF
President and Matt had a meeting on the Friday night. Up for discussion was the
British Combat Sambo Team entry into the Presidents Cup to be held Edinburgh in
September, The Scots do not have a large enough following in Combat Sambo so
the Commonwealth Sambo Association asked the BSF to fill the rank, Matt tells
us that the Scottish Open has attracted 100 competitors which is a good turn
out we are told that this will be the selection process for the Scottish Team.
Also on the agenda was the World Senior Championships in November to be held in
Bulgaria and the World Cadets to be held in December in Cyprus. The three of us
also discussed the BSF Sport Sambo Instructors scheme, which has been a great
success. This award is the only recognised Instructors award and it has been
well received by many other organisations, Matt intends organising Combat Sambo
award, Allan Clarkin has just finished the first BSF CombatSombo
Instructors award scheme. CombatSombo is system founded by myself
Martin Clarke and is a Registered Service Mark
After the meeting Matt took us to the UNIT 7 GYM POPLAR STREET TYLDESLEY MANCHESTER M29 8QP 01942 635937. This is one of
toughest Gym in the Country a real Gym loads of Free weights and Cage not the sort of place a
poser would go to. It had the smell of a real working gym the smell of sweat of
people training hard and taking no prisoners. For those who have been to the
Swale Martial Arts Club will know what I am talking about, not the smell some
people like but those who want to train hard love it. I deliberately put the
address and number so you know where to go for a hard workout. Most of Matts Combat Sambo,
MMA and Cage fighters come from Unit 7.
