What is Sambo?

Sambo, originating in the former USSR, was specifically designed for law enforcement and military applications. It's a comprehensive combat system built to address a wide range of fighting scenarios. Sambo offers a robust framework for developing skills applicable to various combat sports.

The Power of Sambo in MMA

I've been exploring the potential of Sambo for years, learning from the legendary Oleg Taktarov – a Sambo champion and UFC VI winner. Oleg was a pioneer in showcasing Sambo's adaptability. Now, I share this knowledge, training fighters in Sambo, MMA, Pankration, and Shooto.

These techniques demonstrate the effectiveness of Sambo in a modern MMA context. A key strength of Sambo lies in its logical progression of stand-up, striking, and grappling sequences. You'll find valuable techniques for chokes and other essential skills to get you started in MMA.
