All Grades must show their competence at wrestling and sparring. All Grades must be physically fit to participate. Blocks, parries and avoidance techniques must be used at all levels.
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.
