Combat sambo grappling closer to bjj than sport sambo

[Human Bass]

It's a confusion i see often, but since combat sambo allows gnp and chokes, it's positional hierarchy is pretty close to bjj/mma. Sport Sambo has a totally different dynamic on the ground. So saying that such fighter is a sambo guy by itself doesn't tell us much until the type of sambo is specified.

But sport Sambo has more standup grappling emphasis, so closer to MMA than BJJ.
