Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there.

Being a father isn’t just a title. It’s a responsibility.

It’s about being the person the people who rely on you need you to be. Being strong when strength is needed, patient when patience is needed, and present when it matters.

There’s an old saying: “It’s better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war.”

Strength and kindness aren’t opposites. A good man should be capable of both. Train your body. Train your mind. Develop discipline, courage and self-control. Then use those qualities to provide, protect, teach, guide and love.

Our children learn far more from watching who we are than listening to what we tell them to be.

So today, celebrate being Dad — and tomorrow, keep working on becoming the man your family needs.

Happy Father’s Day, fellas. 🥋👊

WORLD SAMBO CHAMPIONSHIPS 2026 REGULATIONS PUBLISHED

The International SAMBO Federation (FIAS) has published the regulations for the World SAMBO Championships 2026. The 50th anniversary tournament will take place in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, from 6 to 8 November, with medals contested in Sport SAMBO, Combat SAMBO and Blind SAMBO among both men and women.

The Championships will be hosted at the Game Sports Arena in the Olympic Village and will bring together three disciplines:

Sport SAMBO
Men: 58, 64, 71, 79, 88, 98, +98 kg
Women: 50, 54, 59, 65, 72, 80, +80 kg

Combat SAMBO
Men: 58, 64, 71, 79, 88, 98, +98 kg

Blind SAMBO (sport class SVI1)
Men: 64, 79, 98 kg

Sport SAMBO and Blind SAMBO will be contested using a group-stage format followed by knockout rounds, with repechage bouts for finalists. Combat SAMBO will follow a group-stage and knockout system without repechage. The team medal count will be conducted according to the Olympic principle.

Athlete registration is carried out exclusively through the FIAS Electronic System – FIAS Database. Each national delegation may include up to 33 athletes, five coaches, a doctor, a masseur and a head of delegation.

A separate requirement applies to athletes with visual impairment: national federations must submit a completed medical diagnostic form no later than 10 October, with classification of the athletes taking place on the eve of the tournament.

Completing an anti-doping education course remains a mandatory condition for accreditation – either ADEL, a national anti-doping organization's course, or an ITA webinar series certificate. Certificates must have been obtained no earlier than 1 August 2024 and submitted to FIAS by 4 November; athletes without this document will not be accredited for the Championships.

The full regulations, including uniform requirements and the technical rules of competition, are available in the International SAMBO Federation's calendar: https://sambo.sport/en/events/chempionat-mira-po-sambo-2026/
