SAMBO MARTIAL ARTS 

Sambo is a martial art, a fighting style, and combat sport developed in Soviet-era Russia.  Sambo combines the ground fighting and grappling aspects of judo and wrestling, such as throws and submission holds, with the use of standing fighting techniques such as punching, kicking, knee strikes, and elbow strikes.
 
 
Sambo is a form of Russian martial arts that is utilized for self-defense, physical fitness, and competitions. It is an acronym for SAMozashchita Bez Oruzhiya which means “self-defense without weapons”.  This sport is known for three moves: ground control skills, take-downs, and leg-locks.
 
 
What is the difference between Sambo and BJJ?  BJJ is a fighting style where the focus is on taking the fight to the ground, getting into a dominant position, and finishing the opponent using chokes and joint locks.  Combat Sambo is a military version where the emphasis is on explosive attacks and knocking out or submitting the opponent as fast as possible.  Whether learning for health and fitness, self-defense or competition Sambo is a well rounded martial arts system taught at TKMA.
