On April 20, 2008 the American Sambo Association will be co-sponsoring with the Canadian Combat Sambo Federation the annual 2008 Canadian Combat Sambo Challenge and Freestyle Sambo Open.

For rules and registration forms contact skoepfer@nyc.rr.com

This year we have combined these two events into a single tournament with 2 divisions. Athletes may enter one or both divisions (you must fill out a seperate registration for division).

As always, we recommend the Days Inn Downtown Hotel in the heart of downtown Montreal: http://www.daysinnmontreal.com/daysinn/hotel.htm

Athletes who place in this tournament will be eligable for our ASA North American Freestyle and Combat sambo Rankings and will earn points towards our ASA Master Sportsman Award:

Registration fees are $35 (Canadian) for one division, or $50 (Canadian) for two divisions.
ASA members who pre-register will recieve their member discounts.

Here is the highlight from last year:

I know, I will be there that night...and will be looking to watch it somewhere!

I'll be there two, I managed to get tickets. When and where is this on Sunday? I am taking a train back to Toronto Sunday afternoon but it would be cool to watch the Sambo if there is time.

I'd go watch if it was in Toronto, any plans to come to TO?

Won't be in TO. Contact Eugene to find out the address of the event. It is at a gym just outside of montreal.

Why is there no Sambo near me?

I was impressed by the clip. It is very good to have a format that incorporates strikes, throws & submissions. This art can be practiced on it's own, or you can move on to MMA.
