Northern Ireland Sambo Course
 |
| Colin Gary John |
Since the early 1990’s Chris St John had been President of
the Northern Ireland Sambo Federation and keeping the flag flying for Sambo in
that country. In the mid 190’s BSF President FIAS Grandmaster Martin Clarke
visited Belfast to give a 2-day course for him and his organisation. Since that
date Chris has regularly attended courses and competitions in England
Since then one of his Pupils Gary Clarke (great name but no
relation) has been promoting Sambo at his club at Enniskillen. To encourage him
even more the British Sambo Federation sent over John Clarke BSF National Sport
Sambo Coach and BSF Technical Director Colin Carrott to Coach a course and examine Gary.
The Course was held at Fermanagh Lakeland forum Enniskillen and
proved very successful and Gary was awarded his BCSA Level 3 Sambo Instructors Award.
In fact so successful was the course that John and Colin have been invited back
in August also both John and Colin are going to assist the Northern Ireland
Federation in running the first Northern Ireland Sport Sambo Competition

With next years Presidents Cup being held in Scotland under
the auspices of the Commonwealth Sambo Association and Scottish Sambo
Federation, Sambo is being taken to all parts of the United Kingdom.
Suggestions have already put forward that Northern Ireland maybe the place in
2017. There is one country, which the BSF does not have a national Organisation
and that is Wales so we are looking for a representative in Wales so the
Presidents Cup can be held in 2018 in the Country
