The American Sambo Association offers various levels
of membership tailored to your specific needs:

Professional Memberships are for Sambo schools or other martial art schools that endeavor to include American Sambo Association training principals into their curriculum. A professional level membership is not a franchise and does not require schools to conform ranking systems to any particular standard.  Our goal is not to standardize your training routines. Rather, we hope for integration of principals of training, movement, and technique into your current curriculum. Sambo is a martial art born of diversity and the American Sambo Association supports diversity in their Professional Member Clubs. A Professional Membership requires a high level of commitment on the part of members.
