2008 World Sambo Championships: US Team Montage

[Gojnic]

Love Sambo. I'm a BJJ practicioner and have nothing but respect for Sambo. One question though. Why the combination of a Gi top and shorts?

[sambosteve]

@Gojnic It is really about the lineage of various jacket styles of wrestling and no jacket styles of wrestling. I suspect the jacket and shorts was a middle ground.

[FRBS01]

ОТЛИЧНОЕ ВИДЕО...!!!

[ENJager]

Wow you met the great Last Emperor! Lucky you. I'm wondering, do you know if there is a difference between Combat Sambo and Systema? I believe both are taught to special forces for combat use, but I'm not sure what the differences between them are.

[FRBS01]

@ENJager SYSTEMA is not taught in SPECIAL FORCES AND WILL NEVER teach there ...

oNLY COMBAT SAMBO AND SPECIAL HAND AN HAND FIGHT.BECAUSE THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HOW BOXES AND BALLET

[malicesgossips]

@FRBS01 God, man, relax, everyone with a bit of brain in their heads already know that Systema is a bullshit.

[FRBS01]

@ENJager The system uses PICTURES AND SOME VIDEOS OF SPECIAL FORCES ONLY AS ADVERTISING

[Valmarclarke]

One of the best Worlds so far and I have been attending them since 1985

@LifterAndy

Wrong. Reilly Bodycomb, myself, David Juliano, and Mike Reush are all American born. Oleg Savitsky and Vlad Koulikov are US Citizens and moved here in their youth.

[hardstylemetalhead]

yo im in maui thai now and i want some ground game i was thinking sombo but idk what do u think about that not sure judo in my mind isent as evictive but at the same time im not the biggest fan of ground game but you would loose with out it

[MephistoWaits]

Train Combat Sambo...that way you can put your muay thay strikes to use and also get some ground game.

[THEBURNZINATOR]

i single handedly taught fedor sambo

[gnb9]

@THEBURNZINATOR loool sweet

[ReelxBigxFish]

i wish i could learn sambo, i don't think there is any place that teaches it near me.

[Dudongo86]

Is this the national russian song??? It is great, I think I heard it in Rocky 4. Great to see Vlad competing, I still have his tapes I thought he was older.

[ReelxBigxFish]

i think they have changed it, this is when they were the Soviet Union

[Dudongo86]

Really, this is the one I prefer maybe because I've never heard the other version.

[gnb9]

@Dudongo86 yes it is the russian national anthem

[Dudongo86]

Ok thank's

[akkeypro]

Vlad and Oleg - Russian Guys.

And join USA team.)

[thenosebleedkid]

Fantastic video, thank you very much.

[TomorrowYsera]

This looks like a total blast. I would love to do some big team competition like this. I train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, but I do love this sport, I would like to train it some day, if ever I could find a place. What sort of grappling techniques are off limits? Gi work against the rules? cross collar chokes etc etc? I don't actually know the rules of Sambo.

[sambosteve]

No chokes in sport, but they are allowed in combat. No shoulder locks where the hand passes behind the back (chicken wing). no toe holds or heel hooks in either.

[principearabias]

Wicked video Steve! Great job!

[shadowcar88]

this video needs more heavy metal. overall good tho, music was....ok. lol

[judoka1976]

Why hasn't Sambo been included as a olympic sport like judo? it should be.

[WarJudoka]

Because if anything it would be Pankration.
