CombatSombo The rebirth.
Level 1 course was held at Black Knights gym
Burnley, it was supported by 8 people.
The students had a traditional back ground in
martial arts and had been training for many years.
They wanted to move forward with a system that
offered more.
The British Sombo Federation does this through
its coaching awards, it offers recognised governing body awards, it offers back
up, a chance to move into the sporting aspects of SAMBO, in Sport SAMBO and
Combat SAMBO.
Level 1 in CombatSombo.
Introductions and welcome made, advise on
setting up a club and all that goes with it, finding the correct venue, all
about insurance, first aid. DBS, planning classes and keeping records.
The foundations laid.
Covered warm up, stretching, movement, pad
work for the striking, kettle bells for strength building, circuits. This was
done to show traditional martial artist what high fitness and knowledge levels
are required within all SAMBO.
The aspects of coaching, the importance of
showing more than talking, looking for mistakes and correcting immediately,
class control, making sure the coach NEVER ASSUMES, coaching techniques from
different positions so students can see from different angles.
Understanding that one throw can be used in
many ways, like SAMBO its diversity, the basic foundation for the Sport SAMBO
side with knowledge on how things score, what points are given and when.
Two students did a little Sport SAMBO and the
rest were referees all giving scores they so fit, this was then discussed.
All students, planned a lesson and coached
what they had planned, constant feedback was given if mistakes made and a coach
assumed a student knew something they didn't.
A great day and excellent feedback.
The rebirth has begun.
