Where is it possible to find a list with names of sambo techniques, like it happens in Judo?
Thanks
 
I have various sambo books, and throws, takedowns, leglocks, armlocks, etc, and the names of the techniques are self-explanatory.

For example, Osoto nage is labeled as "Throw Backwards (First variant)".
Ippon Seoi Nage is labeled as "Throw forward (Second variant)".

A turnover for when your oponent is turtling and you go for an armbar, is labeled as "Turnover with transition to elbow lock".

When you are in kesa gatame and go for an armlock using your legs, is labeled as "Transition from cross-hold to an elbow lock across (your) femur".

A straight ankle lock is labeled as "Jamming/pinching the Achilles tendon".


Throws in general are known as "brosok" (бросок).
For example, kata-guruma (fireman's carry) is labeled as "Windmill throw over the head" (бросок мельиницей на голобу).

And so on.


If you are searching for the term for a particular technique or throw i could search it.

Thanks guys. I was just wondering if they have russian names for their techniques, as it happens for Judo.
I really prefer Sambo to Judo, even if a few guys training and competing in both have told me that the technical level of Sambo is pretty lower than Judo, surely due to the numbers of pratictioners.
 
i don't know all that much about SAMBO but i don't think the names are as standardized as Judo so it's probably not all that useful to learn the names of the techniques in Russian unless you actually speak Russian and/or plan to visit Russia to train.
 
It makes sense, but I do not speak japanese and they still teach me Judo techniques in that language.

Yes, Judo instructors in almost every country use the standard Japanese names on purpose, it's a convention of that sport.

Why don't you go to a SAMBO school and see if they teach you the names of the techniques in Russian? If they don't, or if there isn't even a SAMBO school anywhere near you, then don't worry about it.
 
In sambo gyms i've trained at (even in Russia), many throws are named in japanese and they don't use the long "self-explanatory description" as a name.

So it's not really a killer if you don't speak russian.
I dare to say that ANY sambo instructor will know what an uchi mata or osoto nage is (etc), wether they are from Russia or from Venezuela.
