2009 North American Freestyle Sambo Championships!

On October 4th, 2009 the American Sambo Association will host the Sixth Annual North American Freestyle Sambo Championships!

This year’s event will take place at the Rahway Recreation Center in Rahway, New Jersey.

The event will be jam packed with exciting Sambo and no-gi grappling.

As usual, we will host our OPEN Freestyle Sambo Championships, which is open to all Sambo, Judo, BJJ, Wrestling, and Grappling athletes – regardless of political affiliation. We welcome Sambo players from the ASA, AASF, and USAW to participate.

In addition, this year we will host no-kurtka (no-gi) submission or draw grappling 74kg 8 man challenge as well as a children’s sambo tournament.

This event grows each year and in accordance with ASA regulations, all medallists in the Sambo tournament will earn points towards our ASA National Freestyle Rankings and the ASA “Master Sportsman” award. Be sure to check our website for information about these rankings and awards.

All tournament information can be found at the American Sambo Association website: http://ussambo.com/upcoming_events.html
