All Grades must show their competence at wrestling and sparring. All Grades must be physically fit to participate.
Unlike other Self Defence where you are taught a specific technique per attack, CombatSombo give you basic techniques which the students can use in numerous defences, i.e. learning a Major Hip Throw correctly is the fore runner of many Self Defence manoeuvres, This way CombatSombo comes a more practical system quicker. Students are encouraged to learn how to use weapons not as a means of aggression but as a means of defence "If you know how to use a weapon, you will know how to defend against it"
When grading the examiner may ask " You have demonstrated the techniques now demonstrate the move as a means of Defence, always follow the CombatSombo Philosophy"
Master Grades wear Black Belts with red tabs. Master Grades must hold a minimum of CombatSombo Instructor, other coaching awards can be recognised. 5th & 6th Degree are for long active service, they must hold a minimum of 3rd Degree in CombatSombo Wrestling, Black Belt with Red Blocks.
GrandMaster awarded by CombatSombo International.
