SPECIAL UNIFORM FOR FEMALE MUSLIM ATHLETES
SAMBO UNION OF ASIA ADOPTED SPECIAL UNIFORM FOR FEMALE MUSLIM ATHLETES
http://sambo-fias.org/…/soyuz-sambo-azii-prinyal-spetsialn…/
This has recently appeared on
the FIAS web site something I am totally against WHY?
Sambo main attraction apart
from the Sport is that is Non Political, Non Religious and accepts people from
all over the World. By accepting this dress code for a minority religion
changes that because Sambo has to conform to an Islamic agenda at the expense
of all other religions and non-religious people. Sambo should remain Secular
Also the reasons Muslims want
this is to preserve their modesty does that mean they think those women not
wearing this garb are NOT MODEST? Is this Garment Modest?
Once you make a change to the
rules to suit just one section of Sambo you will have to be obligated to make
changes to other groups:
1) Many women and some men feel wearing shorts is
undignified. So do we change the rules for them to wear Trousers?
2) Reports have been made that Colours can affect a
persons judgement and mental state, these are mainly bright vivid colours. So
if someone complains a Red Jackets is bad for them are we expected to let them
wear another colour
3) Would you allow a Sikh to wear Turban if not why not?
These are just three examples
I have been involved in Sambo since 1975
as a competitor and official for a while I was a member of the FIAS Council and
am now am British Sambo Federation President. In all those years I have met
people from all over the world and never once has religion ever came into my
dealing with them, the one thing that united us was Sambo and the fact that its
regulations were common to us all. If this dress code goes though (which I
expect it has) Sambo will not have Common Goal.
I am not sure people would want to belong
to an organisation that put religious doctrine before the interest of the Sport
will survive. By accepting this dress code FIAS will cause division in its
ranks and membership will not increase but fall. Muslims are welcome to Sambo
but they must conform to our rules as everyone else does, if they find that
difficult join another sport.

Has been wishes to say something
I no longer do much Coaching if any I leave that up to
others I have taught, I am basically an administrator. It is very rarely I
comment on Judo/Sambo/Jiu Jitsu clips but I have a little experience in
competing and training
So here are a couple of my thoughts
1)
Teaching children I have always thought that
they should be loyal to one club, mainly for their benefit as belonging to
several clubs and having several coaches is confusing and in the long run
detrimental to their improving. Yet I believe they should enter as many
competitions as possible and belong to many organisations. This will help them
and also keep their coaches up to date. In the past when I taught 1 tried my
best to be at all competitions my students attended. Yet in the 1970’s, 1980’s,
1990’s things were a lot different if you wanted to you could attend a minimum
of 2 competitions a month throughout the Country, which was not unusual. In
those days in grappling sports there was just Judo, Free Style Wrestling and
Sambo now we have multitude of Grappling Sports, which obviously spreads the
participants. When youngsters are about 14 years then I used to encourage them
to visit other clubs.
2)
With Adult Novices I would still use the premise
of the first 6 months to Year stick to the same club and Coaches after that you
should spread your wings if you want to. In my area there would be many clubs
who offered a good competition night but those were the days when Judoka would
train 4 times week sadly that is not the case today
3)
The amount of times I have heard a parent saying
my youngster will make the Olympics without any idea what that entails and of
course when the Youngsters has had enough who do they blame yes the Coach. It
is strange that Parents still live their dreams through their children instead
of realizing the achievement is that offspring enjoyed their time in Judo and
met many people from different walks of life
4)
Training to be an Olympian or World Class player
is not easy and requires lots of dedication, sacrificing your social life and
costing a lot of money. Plus you may not even make it even if you make it that
doesn’t mean you will become rich in fact most probably you are years behind
your friends who concentrated on their work, just ask yourself how many
Olympians have become household names? If you are a family man your family has
to put up with the hardships I know mine did. Yet after all this there is
something inside you that drives you on to become Olympian/Champion even if you
did not make it you still have the pride I TRIED

SAMBO v SOMBO
Why the Name Sombo?
The reason it is called British Sombo Federation is because we are recognised by UKSport for the Sport. The BSF have been told if we change the name to Sambo we will lose our UKSport recognition something we are not prepared to do just to appease people who do not our Sport. FIAS the International Sambo Body accept our name and understand why it is used. If Sambo comes an Olympic Sport it will need government recognition. I will agree the UK are now the only country using the word Sombo. It obvious that people are not aware of the history of the word Sambo, it used to be a derogatory word for Black people and was seen as a racist hence the reason why we used use the word Sombo. Sombo we was introduced in the 1980's to avoid to complaint of Racism. This was introduced by Josh Henson the USA President and was for the English Speaking Countries supported by FIAS. Before that the Brits used the word Cambo in the 1970's. I think the Word Sambo is no longer considered a Racist term in the English Speaking Countries but until UKSport accept this we will continue use the Word Sombo in the BSF as we have to accept we live in a PC World

British Open Sport Sambo 2018
British Sombo Federation
British Open Sports Sambo Championships
April 21st 2018
Burston Hotel Folkestone
This years British Sport Sambo event was held at the
Ballroom of the Burston Hotel. This Hotel is near Folkestone Harbour and beach
and made an ideal venue for those wishing to make the British Open a weekend
experience
 |
| Medal Winners |
The Ballroom was a luxurious venue far removed from the
normal clinical Sports centre, the event was organised by English Sambo
President Colin Carrott ably assisted by National Coach John Clarke and Keith
Costa plus we must not forget all the other officials who officiated without
whom the competition could not run.
The event was very well supported with players from all over
England, Scotland, N Ireland, Germany, Holland and Ghana plus there were many
Eastern Europeans who now live in the UK.
The Senior Men’s event was very well supported, plus we had an unusual amount of Masters participating, sadly the Women’s event had very low entry, the BSF need to make a determined effort to encourage more women. The Cadets 11 year to 14 years was very poorly attended and next year will be dropped from the event, National Coach John Clarke has said if there is a demand for a British Championships for Cadets he will run an event at his Club.

| Ashley Costa |
There featured some tremendous matches with some really big
throws and submissions and lots of surprises. Ashley Costa came out of
retirement to win Gold in the Masters Event and was awarded throw of the day.
The throw of the day is awarded to the Gold medallist who performed the best
throw.

| Tom, Georgio, Jonathan |
Jonathon Heron (Cheshire Sambo) Northern
Ireland Army Doctor was back on the scene and won Gold in the Senior Men’s
event, Georgi
Goergiev (Cheshire Sambo) the
Veteran Coach/Fighter won Gold in the Masters and the Seniors keeping up his
continual winning record. Billy Wilshire (Fightworx) has
been improving over the last few years, training at various venues, always
turning up Squad session as well as entering many events home and abroad, this
proved a dividend when he won the Gold medal in style.
There were two shock defeats first was Tom Burton (Cheshire Sambo) a top Class Judo and Sambo Player who was expected to take Gold that was until he met James Rogers (Team Mushin) whom specialises in arm locks and leg locks . Tom was dominating the match but when they went to the ground he was caught with a Leglock, the same happened in the Finals to 18-year-old Lewis Clarke (one of the Clarke dynasty) Warriors Grappling Academy who succumbed to the Leg Lock.
 |
| Ryan Cottom |
The next favourite was Ryan Cottom Warriors Grappling Academy who was matched against a very strong German Jannik Wezill when the match finished they both had 1 point each but the German had a positive point while Ryan’s point was a negative point so therefor he lost the match

British Sambo has come a long way since I formed the British
Sombo Federation in 1986 and there is more to come
