[IamStryker]

It's like BJJ except it's difficult.

 

[Gambit MMA]

its the shit..sucks it isnt more popular in US

 

[tonni]

Better throws, more technicques allowed, leglocks.

So how are the throws better?

 

[djason1988]

Clearly Sambo works better.

That's been proven over the past two Saturdays.

Khabib beat a striker, and Fedor beat a middleweight.... I don't think anything has been proven lmao

Just got 1st round KOd by a sambo guy

God bless the American Gangster tho.

Sport sambo is Russian judo with leglocks.

 

[Boevik]

Sambo is very similar to judo so far. Throws, trips, etc. Scoring system is different. Dont be confused with combat sambo which is sambo with striking.
Source: year of sambo training.

Sambo isn't based on lay-n-pray.

He probably has a different opinion after last night.

Sambo practices techniques from wrestling - double, single, also you can roll into leglock, etc.

In competetive judo tecniques below the waist are banned, they are afraid to get dominated
by wrestlers and sambo guys at their own sports.

Also, Sambo has richer submission game - mainly leglocks.
This is developed by spending more time in grappling, while judokas are
getting stood up quickly.

That makes judo pretty limited, aka taekwondo of grappling.

P.S. 6 years of Combat Sambo training.

If sambo were easy.. it would be called wrestling.

BTW.. Sambo is basically MMA with headgear and a gi.

Do you even google bro?

That’s combat sambo. Sport sambo is more akin to a mix of wrestling and judo with a bunch of leg locks, and the gi and shorts of course.

Most Sambo guys are those who couldn't make it at the top in judo or wrestling, they were never going to dominate Judo competitions.

Since Judo banned below the waist techniques, it's harder to do.

On disagree, while it can be true for competitors, it's a big sport on it's own.

 

[Khalabeeb Stiopic]

Basicly the same except hte weirdo gi and extremely bad sloppy striking technique

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Wrestling is all about being boring while sambo is about finishes

Sloppy for boxing purists but good enough to KTFO a shitload of former UFC champs and contenders.

IJF new rules are only since the last two Olympic games, before that which major Judo competition was dominated by Sambo guys?
