Sambo is a Russian martial art which was formed in the 1920s as a hand to hand combat system for the Russian army. There are different styles of Sambo. However, what they all do is show you how to fight and defend yourself by using strikes, wresting moves and submission holds.
Combat Sambo for MMA and self defence is the style that we train in. The style gained recognition through the work of MMA and Sambo champions, like Fedor Emelianenko, Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev.
And if you’re wondering where Sambo got its name it’s an acronym of SAMozaschita Bez Orujiya which means "self defense without weapon" in Russian.
