Sambo, which is currently offered at Definitive BJJ in North Vancouver, is a dynamic and effective martial art that blends aspects of judo, wrestling, and self-defense.
Sambo (often spelled Sombo) is a fast-paced grappling style that originated in Russia and emphasizes throws, submissions, and real-world control. It is renowned for its usefulness, explosiveness, and capacity to use strategic posture and leverage to neutralize bigger or more powerful opponents.
Sambo sessions at Definitive BJJ are intended for both novice and seasoned martial artists who wish to hone their takedown techniques, enhance positional control, or just do something novel and difficult.
What Makes Sambo Unique?
Sambo adds its own unique style to the grappling realm, even if it feels a lot like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Judo. Sambo, who has a background in both athletics and military training, emphasizes:
Quick throws and strong takedowns
securing and dominating rivals from the top
Submission maneuvers, such as armlocks and leg locks
Rapid, forceful changes that mimic actual situations
Sambo is a very useful addition to any martial artist’s toolkit because of its harmony of skill and intensity.
