First of all I don't practice Sambo I do wrestling and Judo. Second I'm talking about as a stand alone martial art in regards how complete it is vs other martial arts. I know the best option nowadays is a MMA gym but around the world is not as common as in the U.S
Sambo vs All the striking arts
Sambo wins due to the fact that teach good enough striking to survive against specialist strikers and easily take them down and submit them.
Sambo vs other grappling arts
Vs wrestlers is piece of cake the wrestler gets submitted
Vs Judo the Judoka won't be able to beat the Samboist for the simple fact that Sambo is equally good for twrows and on the ground o even better because it has nasty leg locks and in the striking department the Judoka would be helpless.
Vs BJJ a tough BJJ guy could submit the Samboist for sure that problem is that BJJ takedowns good enough against strikers but super poor compared to the Samboist level of wrestling, takedowns and throwa. A Samboist could easily avoid a BJJ y takedowns and beat him standing. Even if the BJJ guy take him down by chance, Sambo ia food enough to neutralize BJJ for a while.
