Overview

"Sambo, which originated in the early 20th century in the Soviet Union, is a combat sport and martial art. Sambo is an acronym representing the Russian phrase ""SAMozashchita Bez Oruzhiya,"" which translates to ""weaponless self-defense."" It was formulated through the integration of strategies derived from diverse martial arts, such as judo, jiu-jitsu, and grappling, with an emphasis on effective combat and practical self-defense. Sambo encompasses an extensive array of methodologies, such as submissions, joint grips, throws, and takedowns. Sambo is classified into two primary styles: combat Sambo and sport Sambo. - Sport Sambo emphasizes strikes, takedowns, and ground grappling techniques in its competitive variant. While sharing many similarities with judo, it also incorporates characteristics of wrestling and other forms of martial arts. In order to accrue points, participants strive to attain dominant ground positions or execute clean throws while donning blazers reminiscent of judo uniforms. - Combat Sambo: In addition to grappling, Combat Sambo incorporates striking techniques such as elbows, jabs, and kicks, making it a more realistic and practical form of the martial art. Initially designed with military and law enforcement objectives in mind, its primary concentration was on equipping individuals with the necessary skills to engage in hand-to-hand combat scenarios. Combat Sambo teaches its practitioners how to counter and defend against a variety of assaults, such as grabs, holds, and strikes. Sambo is renowned for its efficacy and adaptability in both self-defense and athletic settings. It has amassed an international following and is now a popular pastime among people of all ages and backgrounds."
