Authentic Sambo Uniforms & Equipment in Australia

Step onto the mat with confidence with our premium collection of Sambo gear, designed for both the seasoned practitioner and the aspiring beginner. Originating in Russia, Sambo is a dynamic martial art and combat sport that demands durable, high-performance equipment. Whether you practice Sport Sambo or Combat Sambo, having the right uniform is crucial for performance, safety, and honouring the tradition of the sport. We proudly stock and ship our entire Sambo collection from within Australia, ensuring you get your gear fast.

The Sambo Kurtka (Jacket)

The centrepiece of the uniform, the Sambo Kurtka is a specialised jacket distinct from a Judo or BJJ Gi. Featuring reinforced shoulder straps for gripping and sturdy belt loops to keep your belt secure during intense grappling exchanges, our Kurtkas are built to withstand the toughest throws and submissions. Available in the regulation red and blue colours for competition.

Durable Sambo Shorts

Unlike other grappling arts, Sambo utilizes shorts instead of pants. Our Sambo shorts are designed for maximum mobility and comfort, crafted from durable materials that won't restrict your movement. They are made to match the colour of your Kurtka for a complete competition-ready uniform.

Essential Sambo Shoes (Sambovki)

Proper footwear is non-negotiable in Sambo. Sambovki are lightweight, flexible wrestling-style shoes with soft soles that protect your feet and the mat while providing excellent grip for takedowns and footwork. Our Sambovki offer the perfect balance of support and flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Sambo uniform called?

A traditional Sambo uniform consists of a jacket called a Kurtka, matching shorts, and special wrestling-style shoes called Sambovki. A belt is worn through the Kurtka's loops. The uniform is typically red or blue for competitions.

What is the difference between a Sambo Kurtka and a Judo Gi?

While they look similar, a Sambo Kurtka has key differences from a Judo Gi top (Uwagi). The Kurtka features reinforced shoulder straps ('wings') for gripping and integrated belt loops at the waist, which are absent on a standard Judo Gi.

Do you need special shoes for Sambo?

Yes, Sambo is practiced in specific footwear called Sambovki. These are lightweight, flexible shoes with soft leather or suede soles designed to provide grip on the mat, allow for intricate footwork, and protect the feet of both practitioners.

What equipment is needed for Combat Sambo?

Combat Sambo requires more protective equipment than Sport Sambo. In addition to the Kurtka, shorts, and Sambovki, practitioners need open-fingered gloves, a mouthguard, a groin protector, shin guards, and sometimes headgear.

Do you ship Sambo gear across Australia?

Yes, we do. All our Sambo gear is stocked locally in Australia, and we offer fast and reliable shipping to all states and territories, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, and Hobart.
