Some of you guys might know that I love all good martial arts. I have a strong interest in grappling before but decided to focus on striking for the last couple of years, thus training solely in san shou at first then muay thai. One of the grappling styles that I have a strong interest in is Sambo. It's a Russian style of jacket wrestling. It's similar to judo but they wear shorts instead, can do leg submissions and have alot more wrestling influence instead. Sambo is not all wrestling though. They also can include striking and one of their competition formats that allow strikes is called Combat Sambo which is basically MMA. Anyway there is a new article introducing Sambo in the NY Times! I can't believe the NY Times did a martial arts article. Awesome! Have a read and enjoy.
