SPORTS SAMBO
Discover the Vigor of Sports Sambo, a dynamic martial art sharing elements with Freestyle Wrestling and Judo. It’s distinct in its rules and attire, offering a unique blend of throws, groundwork, and submission techniques. Unlike Judo, Sambo allows more diverse gripping and holding strategies, fostering creativity while maintaining a strong foundation in traditional grappling. This style encourages versatility and tactical innovation in its practitioners.
To represent the USA in Sports Sambo, athletes must demonstrate their excellence by winning the National Championships. This prestigious achievement marks their entry into the elite circle of the USA Sambo Sports Style Team
COMBAT SAMBO
Step into the realm of Combat Sambo, a martial art closely aligned with MMA, encompassing a comprehensive array of striking and grappling techniques. This intense sport incorporates punches, kicks, elbows, knees, and even headbutts and groin strikes, presenting a full-contact combat experience. Athletes don protective gear including jackets similar to those in sports sambo, along with hand and shin guards, ensuring safety while maintaining the sport’s raw intensity.
Joining the Combat Sambo Team requires more than just skill; it demands a robust MMA background, showcasing not only technical proficiency but also a deep commitment to the discipline.
