IBF/BSF Summer Camp
 |
| One of the first Summer Camps at the Schools Journey Centre St Mary's Bay late 1960's |
International Budo Federation
British Sombo Federation
Annual Summer Camp 2017
This years camp was once again a great Success, always being
held in August and the Venue was Swale
Martial Arts Club Sittingbourne Kent home of the British Sombo Federation
Centre of Excellence. The event organised by John Clarke 6th Dan
Judo Master of Sambo and Colin Carrot 5th Dan Judo Master of Sambo.
 |
| Margret Clarke Paul Evans Nobby Clarke sadley all deceased |
The history of the Camp started in 1965 by the IBF 1st
UK President John (Nobby) Clarke 6th Dan Father of Martin Clarke and
Grandfather of John Clarke. The first venue was the Schools Journey Centre St
Mary’s Bay New Romney Kent abd was over a 4 week period 2 weeks of Juniors and
2 weeks of Seniors.
Nobby had a multiple of different coaches on the course from all over the World and not only featured Judo but Karate, Tae Kwon Do, Aikido and Jiu Jitsu. In the early 1970’s the Schools Journey Centre was demolished to make room for housing, Nobby move the camp down the road to the Army Cadet Camp still using the same format. This was in the halcyon days of the Camp with up to100 people attending each week, this was at time when people were not holidaying abroad and were pleased to have a cheap week by the sea as well as doing something they enjoyed this was to soon change.
In 1988 Nobby suffered a Stroke and Heart Attack at his beloved St Mary’s Bay, which he would never recover from he, died December 7th 1990 at the age of 63.

| Nobby Demonstrating a Technique |
In 1988 Nobby suffered a Stroke and Heart Attack at his beloved St Mary’s Bay, which he would never recover from he, died December 7th 1990 at the age of 63.
 |
| On the last day was a Grading which lasted all Day on the Saturday night Grades were give |
His son Martin Clarke now an 8th Dan Judo 6th
Dan Jiu Jitsu International Sambo Grand Master took over it is ironic that with
the passing of Nobby things would have to change for the Camp. Sadly People
were no longer prepared to give their holiday time for Martial Arts Courses so
numbers dropped and it was now just a week for Seniors and a week for Juniors.
The next problem was that Laws had been introduced when it came to residential
camps for Juniors, with helpers have to attend special courses this was to
become an expensive out lay for the camp and required many more paid helpers.
The Camp had always been intended to offer an affordable course for children
from all social classes but with these added expenses it trebled the cost, so
ended a very successful part of the IBF programme. It is pleasing to say that
may people contact us saying they remember their child hood days at the camp
with fondness. So we now just had one week with a maximum of 50 people.
 |
| Just a week at the ACF camp 1988 |
 |
| Members at the Dibgate camp 2008 |
The next change would be the closing of the ACF Camp in the 2000’s
we were lucky that the Army allowed us to use a new ACF Camp at their Army Camp
at Dibgate Folkestone but in 2013 we told that the Army no longer hired the
facility to Non Military Personnel. So it looked like the end of Summer Camp
with the loss of facility and with people no longer wishing to train for week,
this was great disappointment to Martin as he felt the Camp kept the memory of
his father alive.
Yet the 3rd generation of Judo Clarkes would come
to the rescue in the form of Martin’s Son John. He suggested that instead of a
weeks course he would organise a 2 days course starting Friday night and
finishing Saturday. Martin gave John a free hand and it has proved a successful
transformation. Part of what made it unique was the fact nearly participants
slept in the Dojo over night, with some Beer Waza, Food, Games etc. made the
bonding people got at the original camp still part of the modern camp. Sometimes
you have to bend and go with the times to make a success. With both knees being
replaced and a hip Martin is now just an administrator for the IBF and BSF as
he said it was time for him to move aside and let the next generation take over
like his father did with him everyone comes surplus to requirements. The Camp
will now go from strength to strength

| Judo Sambo at SMAC a Modern Day Camp |
Report by John Clarke 6th Dan
This year camp was a Friday
and Saturday with fight night on the Friday. The fight night had 22 players
from all over England and it was one of the hardest for a long time, lots of
knocks and bruises for most but that's all part of the sport.
Course instructors: John Clarke 6th Dan Master of Sambo and Colin Carrott 5th Dan Master of Sambo.
Summer camp had 28 on it and it was an amazing day with players from Scotland, Somerset, Bournemouth, Deal, Dover, London, Bedford, Folkestone and Sittingbourne.
The course was for Judo and Sambo with a few BJJ players as well. The day had everything from throwing, Arm and leg locks, Strangles, hold-downs, turnovers and even more fighting. All the BSF instructors had to take a lesson and an exam, along with everyone doing a grading too.
