DISCOVER THE DISCIPLINE
Whether you’re a newcomer to martial arts or an experienced competitor, Sambo provides a dynamic and engaging experience for all. Join us on this journey of skill development and personal growth.
SPORTS SAMBO
Sports Sambo is an energetic martial art with similarities to Freestyle Wrestling and Judo in style. It stands out with its distinct rules and clothing. Focusing on throws, groundwork, and submissions, Sambo offers more flexibility in gripping and holds than Judo. This adaptable martial art encourages creativity while keeping a solid base in classic grappling methods.
To compete on the USA Sambo Sports Style Team athletes must win the National Championships.
COMBAT SAMBO
Combat Sambo shares many elements with MMA, featuring an extensive variety of striking and grappling methods. The sport allows the use of punches, kicks, elbows, knees, headbutts, and groin strikes. Competitors don jackets, akin to those in sport sambo, as well as hand and shin guards for added protection.
To join the Combat Sambo Team, athletes should possess a solid background in MMA, demonstrating their expertise and commitment to the sport.
