Sambo martial art

SAMBO is a martial art and combat sport developed and used by the Soviet Red Army in the early 1920s to improve their hand-to-hand combat abilities. The name is an acronym that literally means "self-defense without weapons". Sambo has strong roots in ancient ju-jitsu, but merges the most effective techniques of many other national combat and wrestling styles and martial arts.

The sport is similar in many ways to judo and jujutsu but also incorporates different types of wrestling and various self-defense systems. Combines the ground fighting and grappling aspects of the two, such as throws and submission holds, with the use ????? of standing fighting techniques such as punching, kicking, knee strikes, and elbow strikes. The uniform color is full red or blue, like in wrestling. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been training this martial art for, it never translates how advanced the competitor is.

There were three men who played a big role in the creation of Sambo; one of them, named Viktor Spiridonov, was a World War I veteran who had a background in wrestling and Ju-jitsu. Spiridonov, who worked in the physical training center of the Red Army and mostly focused on creating techniques that emphasized movements over strength. His ultimate goal was to make a combat style that combined the most effective parts of different martial arts and wrestling styles.

Sambo was initially developed for the military as a way to end a fight as quickly and efficiently as possible, the fighting style quickly developed into a competitive sport. There are two types of SAMBO – sport and combat. The Sport Sambo will make its first appearance as an Olympic sport in the 1st European Olympic Games in 2015 and has found an enthusiastic place in civilian life teaching respect, honour and discipline, particularly with presenting its integral part the art of safe falling as one of its social responsibility programmes. While the Combat Sambo continues to provide the major source of skills for mixed martial arts adepts and is still to find its own way to go professional. And a soldier named Vasili Oshchepkov, who also worked in the Red Army, developed another hand-to-hand fighting system.

Like many martial arts, sambo also has a philosophy that promotes personal development, self-discipline, friendship, and respect. Because studying sambo promotes these values in addition to improving strength, stamina, and endurance, it makes the martial art ideal for both adults and children. ??
