You're telling me. It's a really vague naming system, which tends to limit Sambo comprehension to "what techniques you train" in stark contrast to Japanese or Brazilian JJ where everything has an assigned config.
Basically, if you're training Sambo and want to learn new techniques, focus on the part of the body manipulated, the physical steps towards that manipulation, plus finishing posture (where you end up) - names come and go, but training makes moves permanent. I guarentee you that Sambo fighters have go-to moves that they can't name, but they can demonstrate and describe. You see some of that overlap in mid-transition moves for freestyle wrestling -- not all wrestlers and/or UFC fighters can tell you what it's called, but they can show you physically where they prefer to go.
I dont really know which year sambo came to Bulgaria, but I believe in the 70s it was already practiced widely in the big sport clubs.when did sambo and combat sambo begin to export itself to places outside of Russia? Like when did it go to Bulgaria, and Kazakhstan, or Western Europe, and USA. Do they have sambo and combat sambo in Cuba, or other countries with a strong communist presence that received support from USSRs
First of all, Kazakhstan was part of the Soviet Union.when did sambo and combat sambo begin to export itself to places outside of Russia?

I did some Sambo in Canada and loved it but sadly is not popular here so focus everything in Judo, a wrestling friiend invites me to his city but is too far , is less popular than Judo but I want to learn some before getting older haha-I wish I continued to train in Sambo, but I am happy with wrestling and judo, I still keep in contact with my coaches in Russia, and will visit them when I go back to home. But I am more engaged with wrestling than anything else.
I haven't followed sambo in a long time
These guys from Russia started to do a really good stuff for Sambo and Combat Sambo Tutorials. First hand from Russian sambists, and it's all in English. They also publish some Sambo for BJJ and MMA videos. Give it a check fellows! That's a link to their YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/battlebeetle

SAMBO Motivation - I Love SAMBO:
Not really, except the jacket grip brawls, which require specific strategies
Planning a seminar gig for US in 2017, so might be able to demonstrate in personThat is like hockey fighting, but not on ice. I love to hear about these strategies.
