Scott Sonnon's Sambo Saddle Positional Fighting for Jiujitsu and MMA

[Donyk]

too bad i cant seem to locate anybody that teaches Sambo in my town of Sacramento.

[Donyk]

i've always like Sambo over other martial arts but too bad there isnt any schools in my town that teach this. What do you think about SYSTEMA?? its a Russian military combat tactics as well, except it can be utilized against multiple attackers.

[thermaxgym]

@Donyk Sambo and Systema are sisters.

Isnt it dangerous to grab your foot while doing a technique? My coach told me stories of people who sprain their ankles trying to do it, and that we should grab the shin instead

[thermaxgym]

@w10438 It depends upon the health of your joints. Joint strengthening through TACFIT Tactical Fitness is superb for MMA and submission grappling athletes in this regards.

[w10438]

@thermaxgym Very interesting- in addition to strengthening the joints how important is flexibility of the joints?

Man if I could tell people that Scott Sonnon was my own personal trainer, my depression would be cured.

[24damoney]

[Bigturns33]

Most BJJ dont teach it unless they teach majority no gi at like a club or something because cant do heal hooks and such with gi.

[24damoney]

wow.

[SeraphsSword]

fedor among other fighters are the very definition of "the intercepting fist"

[BushidoCode72]

What I love about grapplers is that they are constantly innovating and creating new submissions, defenses, positions, defenses to gain positional supremacy, etc. These guys are always working, creating, and adjusting. Some (not all) of the more traditional Asian arts are stuck in ancient tales of warriors, outdated training methods, LONG outdated techniques and anecdotal stories of ancient masters. At some poing, the growth stopped.

[israel4ever100]

how the hell do people think of these things!?

[bongapendo]

By being smarter than you. Lol.

[JCanmor]

im really tired of all these props going to fedor, i wish he would just go back to krypton and stop beating on us humans

[samboattack]

Interesting.

[Bloodyhand1976]

Amazing Thank you

[onondagha]

Cool!

[SHates]

Awesome!

[Aniketos00]

WOW excellent will buy this for sure now that I just started to train for MMA :D

[WestCoastLegend90]

Great video, Mr. Sonnon.

I'd love to train Sambo, or anything other than BJJ really. I love BJJ, but too many people use it and think like BJJ players.

[rockbodyfitness]

Fedor uses sambo very effectively

[m1kasd]

fedor uses everything effectively, he doesen't only use sambo.

[shadowcar88]

but Fedor said he had never had BJJ training before (when he said it)

I dont know how long ago thatwas so dont know what he is training now

FEDOR for the win

SAMBO and BJJ are both very respectfull martial arts
