SOMBO


The Origins of Sombo (Sambo)

Sombo (short for Samozoshchita Bez Oruzhive - translates to Self Defense Without Weapons) originated in Russia.  See "What is Sambo"  

Sombo Associations in the US include:


US Sombo Association Newsletter



Sombo Equipment

 Note: Jerry Matsumoto gets all his gear from Sombo Joes.

Sombo Joes http://sombojoe.com/
Oleg Taktarov http://www.olegt.com/
Club Kozak http://www.clubkozak.com/EN/intro.htm
Igor Yakimov http://www.rus-sambo.com/ 
American Sambo Association (ASA) http://www.ussambo.com/store.html 

Freestyle Sombo competitions usually require:

  • Kurtka - Similar to a Judo Gi, a blue and red kurtka are normall required for competition, although a wrestling singlet is sometimes an option.

  • Sambofki or Wrestling Shoes - Sambofki are the soft shoes with ankle support worn in Sombo

  • Grappling Shorts - Sombo shorts should match the kurtka worn and be tight fitting. Alternatives are wrestling singlets or strapless trunks.

  • Groin Protector - Required.

  • Mouth Guard - Required.

  • Knee Pads - Optional.

  • T-Shirts - Normally T-shirts are not allowed to be worn underneath the kurtka for safety reasons.
