What Is Combat Sambo?
Sambo was developed in the Soviet Union in the 1920s and 1930s. The name is a Russian acronym for "self-defense without weapons." Sport Sambo is a jacket-wrestling style built on throws, pins, and leg locks. Combat Sambo adds punches, kicks, knees, and chokes, which makes it one of the most complete fighting systems there is.
It's also the base that produced some of the best fighters in MMA history, including Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev.
