Some people have not requested access to FlowFighting® forum section and do not know that Coach Sonnon was nominated along side UFC champion and action movie star Oleg Taktorov as "Pioneer of American Sambo" by the American Sambo Association!

Good job to our Coach!

Congratulations to all of the nominees. I first met Sandy North at US National Sombo Championships in Kentucky in 1992. He's wicked on the mat. He deserves the recognition..

Scott,
Congrats on the nomination! Any one that you say is wicked on the mat is one skilled athlete! :)

[Robert V]

Congratulations!

You surely influenced my jacket wrestling more than anyone else.

[Jake Shannon]

Congrats!

I'm happy to see this as I don't think Scott gets enough credit from the newer guys in the Sambo world. :)

[Scott Sonnon]

Aaaa... I'm a dinosaur from the days when Sambo had more spellings than common sense, and more political FUBARs than GWB.

People will be giving RMAX props when the Team enters next year's nationals, though. ;)

Team?

congrats Coach!

Love the new avatar pic by the way. Great stuff.

[Scott Sonnon]

Team?

Yes, Team RMAX. There are 7 athletes currently on the Team. All will be competitive from NHB to grappling to kickboxing to fencing. RMAX will make announcements as they become available. After all, Nikolay Travkin was co-manager of a UFC Heavyweight Champion, and knows the 'ropes'.

I think that's great. I've been waiting and hoping for this for a long time. The primary reason I started to compete in Judo was to demonstrate the effectiveness of the principles I learned from you! Which worked great. Now you have real representatives!

Great news.
