FIAS Approved Range

FIAS stands for the International Sambo Federation, the world governing body for the sport. 'FIAS Approved' is an official certification mark indicating that a piece of equipment, like a uniform or mat, has been tested and meets the stringent quality, safety, and regulatory standards required for use in official competitions.

While not always mandatory for day-to-day club training, using a FIAS approved uniform is highly recommended. It ensures you are training with the same equipment you will compete in, helping you get accustomed to the specific fit and feel. For any official competition, a FIAS uniform is required.

Genuine FIAS approved uniforms and gear will have an official FIAS certified patch or label sewn onto them in a specific location as per regulations. Always purchase from reputable suppliers to guarantee authenticity. All products in this collection are certified.

A Sambo Kurtka is distinct from a Judo Gi. The Kurtka is a tighter-fitting jacket with belt loops at the waist to keep the belt in place, and shoulder straps (or 'wings'). It is worn with shorts, not long pants. These design differences are specific to the rules and techniques of Sambo.
