  • I'm in NYC... What BJJ school are they from and when will they throw another cross discipline "style vs style" tourniment. Hell throw in judo and catch wrestling and and expand the brackets.

  • Cool throws my the sambo guy in the 2nd fight of the video, but BJJ guys had good defense on their backs.

  • all put together, what was the score btw bjj vs sambo?

  • Oleg ,nice to see him still around

  • slams are allowed? what kind of tournament is this?

  • where i can watch all the fights? and how many fight are there?

  • Some of the best names from Russia/Ukraine were trained in Sambo. It seems when ever there is talk of MMA or UFC, Its always the BJJ that that the majority of people prop up on a pedistool. Truth is, they all have their strengths and weakness. Sombo and hapkido are some of the most fun to watch.

  • @pizzasuits Bjj plus Wrestling equals ultimate grappling.

  • always on the ground...dick

  • The Sambist at 1:21 new he was going to sleep!!!

  • BJJ, Sambo and Judo are all great arts with emphasis on different aspects of grappling. Sambo focuses on 50/50 throws/subs, BJJ focuses 80/20 subs/throws and Judo 20/80 subs/throws. Everybody needs to stop the arguing and enjoy them all.

  • @19thaman79 Lets not forget wrestling.

  • Was that Oleg Taktarov awarding the medal at the end?

  • @MarshalNey13 yeah

  • Jiu-Jitsu is better than sambo, no questions asked.

  • @xSmithamanx Lets see BJJ teach you how to successfully disarm an opponent and snap his arm like a twig...while standing up. Oh, and just for fun, lets see BJJ teach you how to take someone down in such a manner that you could shit in their mouth. Just saying. Ground to ground, i'd agree BJJ is better, it focuses on ground fighting. Sambo focuses on a more total defense, similar to krav maga. Its a better all around art.

  • @xSmithamanx Actually there is a ton of questions asked. The sports are different. If these Sambists are Sport Sambo players then they are not use to chokes. In a sambo match throws and takedown are much more important then in a BJJ match. This is one art fighting another art using their own native rules thus BJJ in this context has an automatic advantage

  • Yeah all this arguing is useless. Totally depends on the fighters....the fighters execute the discipline.

  • i lake sambo more bjj is best

  • how did the matches end ??? 8-0 bjj???

  • Nog stopped competing in Sport BJJ (competitions) when he started MMA. If you want to see how powerful and strong his no-gi BJJ is, just look at his submission victories and then look on the actual videos and see how he actually submitted them. Nog's BJJ is def top 5 .. not competing in ADCC does not make you a lousy submission artist ... Plenty of people never competed in ADCC who are submission masters. Also, Eddie Bravo is a major influence and a grappling-figure in BJJ world ...

  • both styles r great.

    

  • It always appeared to me that it goes something like this : Judo 80% standup 20% ground Sambo 50%/50% Bjj 20%/80%

    All three are sick arts and if nothing else compliment each other.

  • what is the different between sambo n bjj? i know its grappling art and it focuses on footlock. do they do stuff like open guard, passing guard and stuff like that?

  • @yuenj01 Sambo is another grappling art that focuses on takedowns, pins, and fast submissions (all types of arm locks, groin locks and leg locks.. NO Chokes in Sport Sambo allowed). In Combat Sambo, everything is allowed (similar to MMA). Both Sambo & BJJ have open guard, closed guard, passes, position control, etc. Ground game is very important in Sambo and Sambists are known to have a very good ground game. This video is biased towards BJJ, so don't judge Sambo based on this video alone.

  • The ref has tits. Like, big lucious tits.

  • Ueshiba Morehei(Aikido) is a Jiu jitsu master trained under Takeda Sokaku of Daito Ryu Jiu Jitsu but sense that it lack of multiple attacks/defends, weapon attack/defences & thought that takedowns r not applicable in a real fights where one need to act fast without taking too much time on the ground.For him, Jiu jitsu will be better & applicable only in the ring or competitions...

  • Guys so far the debates have been respectful. Ill be posting real differences in the methods of each style here. Each sport version has a very different end goal, SAMBO based in combat origin and BJJ based in sport origin. Sambo in its total form covers defense of knives, multiple attackers, ect. If you train many things, you spread thin, Bjj covers 1 thing, ground work. So better? At what? Sport BJJ? well that would be BJJ. Better at SAMBO? That would be SAMBO.

  • BJJ is way better than sambo..period..

  • @lampard1986 other than a few top elite BJJ players like Gracie or Machado, BJJ guys do very poorly in Sambo/Judo competitions because there's a time limit spent on the ground. No one in Sambo/Judo is going to give you 5 minutes to secure a freaking kimura. You don't get 5 minutes on the streets to secure an arm bar, you get seconds. Another fact is that Sambo guys do much better in BJJ comps because they're used to fast-paced work on the ground OR on top & they use that towards their advantage.

  • @pcjudosambo thank you for your reply..here is what i think...if you put a bjj player vs sambo or judo in a grapling match(without GI) then the BJJ player would win allmost everytime..i agree that for some bjj players is hard to compete in sambo/judo but that is because in sambo matches there is points for pining your opponent back to the mat..so every time a sambo player is on top vs bjj player he is not looking for sub,he is looking to use power so he can pin him down and win ot points..

  • @lampard1986 well, not true because Sambo guys train massive without GI. I would agree that a BJJ guy would beat many Judokas in no GI but Sambo, no. Remember, Sambo is a wrestling art, which involves a lot of greco-roman, freestyle wrestling takedowns & catch wrestling submissions that require NO GI. So yes, judoka might have problems in NO GI, but a Sambist is quite adapted to it, it's part of the training. Also, while on top, points are earned and pinning is a proven self-defense move.

  • @pcjudosambo look man..i am from bulgaria..we have the absolute world best sambo fighters in the world...our sambo fighters are just unbeatable..they are multiple time world and european champions and every time when they fight they humiliate russians..if you dont believe me you can search about rosen/rumen dimitrov(the twins),blagoi ivanov(the only man to beat Fedor)...i am telling you they are extremly strong but they just dont have what it takes to submit a good BJJ purple belt..

  • @lampard1986 yeah, Ivanov did beat Fedor in Sambo (one time out of 3 I think). Do you really think if you put a BJJ guy into a Sambo comp he would submit everyone? Only a top level BJJ guy would and there are a few of them, not many. There is a reason why more Judokas and Sambists are going to BJJ comps and not many BJJ going to Judo/Sambo comps ... no one has properly answered that question yet, want to give it a shot?

  • @pcjudosambo Ivanov is 1-1 with Fedor..i am not saying that bjj guy is going to submit everu sambo or judoka in a sambo comps...i am saying that bjj guy is a better grapler than sambo/judo guy....tell me do you really think that sambo/judo guy could submit a bjj guy in a ADCC grapling match...why do you think when the best graplers colide in abu dhabi tournaments only brazilians or very high level american BJJ guys win the competition ??

  • @lampard1986 oh that's easy, ADCC shares very similar point rule system with BJJ, actually, I think BJJ copied it from ADCC or maybe other way around but they are shared. Points for takedowns, points for knee on belly, points for mount, passing guard, etc. no wonder you see a few Judokas & Sambists in there, the point system is similar to BJJ. Also, grappling does not mean submission only, it also means takedowns, etc ... and BJJ guys are not known for takedowns.. google ("define grappling")

  • @pcjudosambo ivanov is a joke in mma and just beat fedor on points,fedor isnt even that great on the ground ,he would be destroyed in adcc rules as would every sambo lad.Very few bjj lads would have the takedowns to do well in sambo since you can win by ippon or pin from the throw.Even ones that could dont bother because its got no prestige attched to it and is dominated by so few countries.

  • @billysue2 I think Fedor would do well in ADCC but he would never compete there because ADCC utilizes BJJ point system and Fedor wants to distant himself as far away from BJJ as possible. Will he win ADCC? I don't know, but I think he has a chance, he might not submit all of his opponents but he can utilize his Judo/Sambo to score points via takedowns and avoid being submitted. Don't forget, you can't judge Fedor's ground game simply on his loss, he managed to out grapple several BJJ black belts

  • @pcjudosambo adcc doesnt use bjj rules at all,many wrestlers have won it with just a takedown and held position the whole match,they had no intention of submitting anyone,mark kerr is a great example.The only good bjj black belt he fought in mma were arona,who he didnt outgrapple and werdum

  • @billysue2 You're very wrong on many of the things you said. ADCC was created by Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan with his BJJ black belt instructor Nelson Monteiro (Google this). Secondary, look at the scoring system of ADCC and IBJJF, they are almost identical (point system for sweeps, takedowns, rear control, full mount, advantages are same with BJJ). Why do you think almost all BJJ guys compete in ADCC, they know the point system. Second, Fedor never fought big BJJ guys? Nog? Sobral?? LOL

  • @pcjudosambo I know the history of adcc exactly and the point system is different to bjj no gi,there were many non bjj lads in the first few comps who done quite well,especially jap shooto guys and kerr.Barnett is probably the only non bjj lad who could do anything today in it.Sobral hasnt been doing bjj long,he switched to gracie barra from chuteboxe and big nog was never a great bjj lad,good bjj in mma but not on werdums level in grappling,the only 1 better than him in mma now is roger gracie

  • @billysue2 Nog's BJJ has been rated in top 5 in the world (gi and no gi) by many online publications including many BJJ black belts (e.g. Eddie Bravo). Stating that BJJ comps and ADCC have different rules is funny. Honestly, I am not even going to waste time on this debate simply because the rules are 95% identical and you can look it up yourself. You're misinformed! Out of all who compete in ADCC, in the beginning, 80% were BJJ practitioners like Rodrigo Gracie, Renzo Gracie, Sean Alvarez ...

  • @pcjudosambo eddie bravo is no authority on bjj.What grappling titles did big nog ever win at black belt level?He was elite level in the gi but nowhere near anyones top 5(they mean top 5 bjj in mma) but won nothing no gi.The reason 80% of adcc lads were bjj is that there was nobody else any good

  • @billysue2 ADCC rules are created for brazilians and BJJ fighters. And many russians simply don't know about ADCC tournament but at the same time if you look at the countries that are the best in wrestilng you will see that it's ex USSR countries such as Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Azerbaidjan. and etc. The same thing in sambo. USA and Brasil simply suck in wrestling, sambo and judo. But Russian fighters wil become the best in grappling very soon.

  • @razvedrota1 wrestlin aint sub grappling,you can be great at 1 and terrible at the other as many are.Its possible for a very good wrestler to wi abu dhabi with takedowns and pins only and a basic bjj understanding,kerr did it.USA has always been 1 of the most dominant teams in wrestling after the soviet union.Russia will never do anything in subrappling because they dont have a bjj culture at all.If sambo and judo were enough theyd be dominating now,they arent

  • @billysue2 Tomorrow will start just the 1st official Russian grappling championship. Grappling (as a sport) and BJJ are simply not that popular and well-known in Russia. There is just a few BJJ schools in Russia but they become stronger and stronger day-after-day.

    But at the same time Russian wrestling, sambo and judo could be enough to win ADCC championships. Some grapplers from Russia, other ex USSR countries won 1, 2, 3 places in ADCC. Allthogh in Russia they are not that good,. (Kareem etc)

  • @billysue2 there are hundreds of ma schools in denver for example, bjj is like starbucks now, everyone is a blackbelt. there is 1 sambo school,FusBoxe SAMBO, major threat to bjj and mma schools in the US winning bjj nationals and nearly every mma fight. we aere not marketed as brilliantly and the gracies did bjj. grappling is 1 facet of sambo.grappling is all bjj is. cant truly compair the two.

  • @pcjudosambo as for the streets i think that everyone is good enough to put your opponent down and break his leg or arm..but again in pure grapling match BJJ>judo/sambo...i dont want to say that sambo and judo are not good,i like them but i think that bjj is just number 1

  • @lampard1986 yes but its not easy to put someone down ... judokas train years to master this and someone who is not good with takedowns will have problems, especially when that other person is bigger than you. How about 2 vs 1? Do you think you would pull guard or go to the ground with 2 guys attacking you? Judo / Sambo teaches you to stand in ALL situations BUT if it MUST go to the ground, they are fluent in submissions. So while BJJ teaches you to go to the ground while Judo/Sambo teaches up.

  • @pcjudosambo  thats why i also train box and muay thai...if it goes 2 vs 1 i want to be ready for a brutal KO. :))

  • who won more matches sambo or bjj?

  • I think sambo could be better than BJJ, but the sambo guys dont have the skill off there back like a gracie practioner does, because in sambo if your on your back for 30 secounds its over, all the gracies really need is to get a good spot on top and there safe, Sambo was created to mainly be a sport, where as BJJ is mainly for self defense grappling

  • @hazard2000 -Thank you for the positive feedback. Sambo was at first a combat system, Sport Sambo is a "safe" version of Combat Sambo. Better than BJJ? IDK, but a vastly dif reason for being and approach. BJJ was maybe designed as self defense but is mostly a rubber mat sport now.BJJ as far as I know doesnt cover all aspects of striking and weapons defense as Sambo does. Be safe, cross train both.

    SAMBO Coach Sullivan

  • @FusBoxe I agree but BJJ guys tend to be excellent in submissions but everyone knows that majority of BJJ guys cannot win in Judo & Sambo comps because they're used to taking their time in securing a submission. I don't know if you can take your time on the streets. The reason why I and many others love Sambo & Judo is because it's fast paced on the top and bottom. Of course, Combat Sambo is better than all since striking is allowed. Cross train... yes but don't get used to pulling guard :-)

  • @hazard2000 Sambo was not created as a sport. It was created for military & police to defend themselves (Sambo means Self Defense Without Weapons in Russian). Later on it was modified into a Sport version where normal people would learn it for fitness and self-defense reasons. Sport Sambo can and is used as a self defense art. Is it better than BJJ? I don't think so, but that's my opinion. I think BJJ is a modified version of Judo and Sport Sambo incorporates a lot of Judo.

  • @pcjudosambo i meant to say, '"I'd think so" in terms if it's better than bjj ... :-)

  • Great grappling! Both sports are great!

  • Lots of suspicious editing on this video editing from 0:40 on... Not showing the Sambo guys winning their matches.

  • @Five5six Check out the vids from GregoryfromCali for the whole matches, this video is edited to just show the BJJ wins.

  • @Five5six because this is a BJJ friendly edited video, the real video shows 50/50 in terms of winnings.. both styles won equal amounts of time.

  • the sambo guys get fucked up

  • this was fantastic well done to everyone involved , absolutely awesome 2 best styles learning 2gether

  • looks the same, who is who?

  • Sambo WIN !

  • @6JI9XYUH9 no they dont

  • Kakoj pozor , proigral kakomuto sapljaku . Champion nazivaetsja.

  • mma in russia is still trying to catch up with brazil and usa, we will se some fighters come out of russia and eastern europe within next 5 years, blagoi looks like hes going to be very good in mma.

  • @advent8888888888 no its already in very good level tour fighters are just as good as americans and brazil the problems are

    1st-simply our citizatns dont konow much about mma in 80%of regions 2nd 90%of russ fighter dont hav eenought money to be promoted in ufc

    strikeforce etc but they are very talented just think if the best classical wrestling school in the world located in russia and sambo and grecoroman

    andwrestling is the best styleto be the original school in mma

  • @VAINAH92 i know, iv trained in st petersburg with red devil, i love russia, especially the girls hha

  • Is it somewhere on the brighton beach?

  • Brasilian jiu jitsu is most effective system ever.

    if u have black belt in BJJ then

    u can even kill pro bodybuilders like jay cutler , ronnie coleman.

  • bjj all the way

  • I'm going to start JJ, but both seem like sick styles, nice video!

  • these days even sambo guys studied bjj ots way too late to find a guy ptacticing in his pure art

  • was some good fights

    sambo has few answers for bjj's subs

  • It's not really BJJ vs Sambo is it? It's some BJJ fighters vs some Sambo fighters. Both styles have proven themselves in MMA.

  • @wikichris what the fuck are you on about ? i think your clueless,were all intitled to an opinion though.

  • How about you explain you explain why you're accusing me of being clueless?

  • i like the sambo guys takedown, they are basically judo takedowns. but thier ground game is awful

  • @GHRepresent are you an idiot???you whant to say that Fedor Emelianenko ground game is awfull?

  • @VAINAH92 u should ask urself that question. 1 guy out of all your sambo pracitioners is good on the ground. Fedor is natural talent , has very little to do with the art of sambo itself. if u had any brains u would know that.

  • @GHRepresent 1 guy man you are a complete idiot the reason ppl yhink bjj is so sick is because its more popular than sambo 90%of fighters dont know about itbut 4 example Fedor in his interwie said that sambo is more better because it hase more submissions than bjj and also it hase ways more takedowns and judo type throws SAMBO IS A MIX OF BJJ JUDO AND WRESTLING thats why its more effective

  • @VAINAH92 Actually Sambo is a mix of Judo and Wrestling ... BJJ is Judo (just different rules and tactical and training emphasis on newaza (ground technique) - do osae = guard for example). But you are right Sambo is formidable and Fedor is amazing.

  • @VAINAH92 more better? a bit mentally handicapped there arent we?

  • @CaRLoS349349 you such a moron pal,you know that??

  • @VAINAH92 atleast im capable of typing a proper sentence

  • @CaRLoS349349 be proud of youre self lol

  • @VAINAH92  yer there are gaps in bjj style and i would think sambo fills in those gaps, its a very good style and does a vast variety of chokes, including triangles, omoplatas, gogoplatas, transitions, sweeps and control, but i prefer sambo

  • @GHRepresent yeah and fedor several times winner of sambo and combat sambo comptetishons and he is master of judo and sambo!!!

  • @GHRepresent

    Learn to spell retard. You don't know anything and anyone who trains Sambo would smash you.

  • Great match up! Sad to see that these Sambists did not even try leg locks, which is essential to Sport Sambo.

  • the original vid shows 50/50 ish . Someone BJJ friendly edited to show a less than true outcome.

  • Yeah, I saw that. There's videos on Youtube with the real fights where half of the matches were won by Sambo guys.

  • @FusBoxe

    Check out the unedited video at: 6uWgXZbBToY all the vids by GregoryfromCali. The seven ended 8 bjj 7 Sambo with a controversial slamming DQ against the sambo guys.

  • @FusBoxe

    That's not true, I've seen it all and BJJ wins most of them, besides, what more do we need say, that bjj black belt beat the world sambo champ at the time without too much struggle, aside from the judo throws, sambo has nothing on bjj when it comes to grappling

  • @4c00h - Fair enough, sambo is on its own

  • yeah looks like sambo got owned that night badely

  • And? none of them would sub Fedor, none.

  • Is that Dean Lister ?

  • Do both Sambo and BJJ if you want to be great

  • @daar22284 not really

  • the guys with the shoes on do Sambo

  • whose doing bjj?

  • Sick Takedown!!! 0:50 to 0:55

  • @WATRUSAYIN throw )

  • grappling>all

  • that was good shit man that wee dude in the second match had some good throwing techniques

  • wow, sambo is for real, BJJ top dog.

  • volk han needed

  • el rey de los mata leones. quien es? trompadas con punteri y patadas bajas. fuertisimas. todo eso soy yo.

  • BJJ!!!

  • Fedor is sambo- end of story

  • @bigassballsyes BJ Penn - bjj , Anderson silva - Muay thai/BJJ , lyoto machida - Karate/bjj , brock lesnar - wrestling/bjj .

  • Decar003-so much depends on the nature of the fighter.passive or aggressive. If one is aggressive and well versed in sambo, I believe this is better (if I have to say it) than bjj for use in MMA. FusBoxe MMA uses 80%sambo in our ground,we win better than 90% of our fights. Bjj is wider known,they market it well and it's proven. Respect both.

  • Godofthis. That's a great question. I've been training from 1973,I've trained we I could find,so my education is very mixed. But if I had to wipe the slate clean and start again. Yes,sambo. If I could only know 1,sambo. This was actualy hard to answer.

  • Minotauro vs Fedor?

  • roger gracie,fabricio werdum,jacare,marcelo garcia,x.ribeiro...the best of all the world...bjj

  • bjj rules

  • Love the head tap at 7:01 "Good try buddy."

  • This is not sambo vs bjj as there is not any punches or kicks wich is a big part of sambo... this is just dress up submission grappling

  • Comment removed

  • its probably sports sambo

  • Youtube Russian sambo vs. Brazilian jiu-jitsu and you'll see that the outcome of the matches were a lot more balanced that what you see here.

  • I coach SAMBO, and BJJ. The fact seems to be that Bjj is a ton tighter on the ground, SAMBO wants to dominate control and throw. I learned long ago-dont be too agressive w BJJ, if you play the game and ur not good at it, youll loose.SAMBO has a much more complete system of real world combat.SAMBO sport is the trainable core of the military combat system.On the mat (BJJ) in a fight w a knife (SAMBO)

  • @FusBoxe interesting, but couldnt it be since sambo tries to controll more, it would be more effective in mma since when your on top and in controll you can also ground and pound?

  • @FusBoxe

    So if you could use only one art to defend yourself in a un controlled enviorment, you would pick Sambo?

  • It's not that Sambo lost it's the fact that the people trying to use it sucked. It's all about skill of the fighter not the art itself.

  • First law of averages and I didnt see any BJJ guys tapping only the Sambo dudes. So since BJJ keep proving its better than everyone else I dont see any one else proving other wise.

  • This is just one tournament of like a million and I am pretty sure not all were won by BJJ.

  • Well you can look it up if you like but the UFC started with the Gracies saying our style can beat any style, and they put there money where there mouth is. No bitting no eye gouging were the only rules. All in all show me a link to where bjj guys are getting there asses kicked by someone in any format other than the MMA today cause the rules they use in MMA today are geared toward the strikers and wrestlers.

  • Lol. I spent like an hour trying to find a vid where Bjj got creamed and to my astonishment I haven't found a good one. I have a renewed respect for Bjj. I am still very skeptical on Bjj and it's street fighting capabilities, seems like it might take some time to tap a guy if he is scrambling enough and in a real fight time is not a luxury plus the whole thing with trying to defend against multiple people while on the ground. But I would enjoy being proven wrong.

  • Well true that at the beginning levels of white and blue it would depend on the person and if they were well trained. But we dont just learn to fight "on" the ground, But if the fight goes there I know for sure I wont be the one on my back. So if you look up alot of street fights you will see them fall down prolly 9 out of 10 times. And with BJJ that will most likely be 9 out of 10 times your decision how it gets there and who is on top.

  • @wally2296

    Note that a lot of people that do BJJ also do Muay Thai so they're not just ground fighters. On the street I wont be trying to submit someone, if if goes to the ground, I'll be sure to be on the better position and be as dirty as anyone else would be with eye gouges, biting, throat stabbing. You can't say someone with BJJ knowledge doesnt have an advantage on the street because they do.

  • u dont make someone tap on the street u break it or make them go unconcious

  • Well said.

  • whos who

  • BJJ in blue

    Sambo in red

  • These sambo fighters were not mentally fit for these Jiu jitsu fighters. They were overwhelmed and disheartened. Great video.

  • hahahi just had the most fun idea - let them do the same thing on the concrete floor!

  • so sambo and BJJ sambo loses? Hm still its recommended you learn how to fight in other ways if your fighting in the street ESPECIALLY if your against multiple people

  • no, if you're fighting multiple people, use a gun! you don't wanna be on the ground for that shit. talk about mob kicking...

  • only weapons and sprint speed will help with multiple people.

  • what a great display of fighting skill

  • I'm a BJJer myself but there were some really nice throws by the Sambo guys.

    Damn, I need to work on my standing (Judo/Sambo etc.)...

  • Check out the year by year results of the ADCC tournament. BJJ dominates man.

  • That's great but I wasn't referring to ADCC,I'm referring to a local tournament.The tournament I'm talking about is freestyle grappling.You can throw,sweep,trip,and leg kick.And submit in standing position or on the ground.Chokes and leg locks are allowed.But most of the fights are decided by who is judged to have most control of his opponent. IE when I throw a Bjj guy 6 times and when he pulls guard I peel his legs and do it again, or choke him out standing.

  • Wow, you must be awesome.

  • then your retardeded or going to some shitty tournaments, check the results from any naga or grapplers quest tournament, oh you wern't referring to those either? just some jim bob freestyle place? get real

  • You like ADCC?

    See Xande Ribeiro, Ricardo Arona, Jacaré, Roger Gracie, every BJJ guys.

    Champions!!!!!!!

    Loser!

  • Again I wasn't talking about ADCC,thanks for not paying attention. And I never said anything about BJJ being inferior for ne waza or submitting someone on the ground. All I'm saying is that in my experience anyone who knows how to defend against being taken down or pulled into guard can avoid playing BJJ's game,and make them stand up. I never said anything about ADCC to begin with.

  • I wouldnt typecast all BJJers together like that... I know my stand up is terrible, but I use the skill I have to my advantage like everyone else. Like you said, if the BJJer let the guys peel his legs off then he has a terrible guard and should practice more; which is no different than if a judoka cant throw a wrestler then he needs to practice more...

    I dont think one martial art is superior to another, i think an amalgamation of them is completely necessary for any real life application.

  • Particularly if they are so complimentary, all BJJer should do some Judo or Sambo and vice versa

    But some do suck, Aikido, that one does, fact.

  • hence "mma". very true

  • Yea, in a sambo or Judo comp,

    in submission Wrestling (were their are no stand up rules) and all the cranks and chokes are allowed, BJJ dominates, just like LuqmanNaq says, Your basically saying BJJ sucks, because it would lose in a TKD form competition.

  • take that sambo

  • BJJ posters are funny.

    What is it that compels to denounce other arts on da interweb? Confidence?

    It appears to be the opposite of confidence. It sounds a lot like "Wing Chun is teh deadly!"

    There's even a poster (way down the list) claiming Hughes beat Gracie only because of BJJ (Kimura). Ha ha.

    BJJ is good stuff, though. But there's something mentally broken in some of its fans.

  • of course bjj wrestlers in america are trained better than sambo, because it is more popular there. if you make same competition in russia, sambo will win

  • I wouldn't put it so authoritatively. Each art consists of very similar techniques with a different strategy. Whichever practitioner uses his strategy more effectively will win. BJJ and SAMBO are both great arts, its just up to the practitioner to determine which strategy works better for them and work from there. That said, I prefer SAMBO to BJJ overall because its more rounded, but a combo of Judo and BJJ is absolutely GREAT.

  • BJJ+ Judo or Sambo = T3h R33l D34dly :)

  • sambo fighters were from russia stupid

  • im a bjj guy, but u are a retard

  • I agree

  • DAMN!!! =]

  • Fedor and his team should have been here representing Sambo!
