In 2006, Maestro Colombini actively participated in the organization of the thirty-year anniversary of the foundation of the federation (Friendship Congress) organized in Pisa (Tirrenia). On this occasion he will receive a thank you award directly from Soke Clark for organizing the “Friendship Congress” stage. In relation to this there is an anecdote to tell relating to this event. Master Colombini, in order to take care of the organization of the Friendship internship, had to postpone the date of his wedding set in June 2006 to postpone it to September of the same year. As soon as Master Clark learned that Master Colombini had done this, he told him "I hope your wife does not want to strangle us ...". Soke Clark then took part in the wedding ceremony of M ° Colombini who will always be grateful to repay.

Since 2006 he has participated in every international event organized by the wjjf in which there is the presence of the Soke R. Clark and has participated since 2008 in all the Master Classes organized by M. Clark at the World technical headquarters in Liverpool (Samurai Club) today called the Clark Center . In April 2006 he obtained the rank of V dan in Pisa in front of Soke Clark;

In 2008:

Maestro Colombini detaches himself from the "Mancini Team" for reasons inherent to the management and organization of the same, and with the full consent of Soke Clark continues his path of technical growth and diffusion of the Ju-Jitsu of W.J.J.F. establishing together with Maestro Busà and Vignali the WJJF Pma Italia. In the same year he signed a contract with the Wjjf for the distribution in Italy of the programs (syllabus) of R. Clark. In 2008/2009 he controlled over ten Dojos covering the area of ​​Pisa, Cascina, Ponsacco, Livorno, Rome with about 250 students.

Maestro Colombini, since 1998, has always followed refresher courses in England under the technical direction of Soke Robert Clark with constant frequency and assiduous commitment, allowing him to guarantee his DOJOs a teaching of a high technical level.

In 2014, following a choice by Maestro Busà to abandon the Presidency of the PMA, he established a new ASD by founding the new WJJ PMA ITALIA which today has over 10/12 Dojos scattered throughout Italy. In 2015, following a meeting with its Provincial Technical Directors, it was unanimously decided not to renew the contract with Wjjf / WJJKO.

Maestro Colombini currently holds courses in Pisa, at the National Gymnasium “Mithos” technical headquarters for children and adults, as well as holding courses for instructors and kobudo lessons on weekends. Maestro Colombini represents, without a shadow of a doubt, one of the main interpreters of the Ju Jitsu and Kobudo syllabus encoded by Soke Clark, connoisseur of the Ju Jitsu syllabus up to the 7th dan and of the entire Kobudo syllabus.
