Combat SAMBO

SAMBO is a Russian martial arts that mixes wrestling with Judo. SAMBO is a Russian acronym for “samozashchita bez oruzhiya”, which translates to “Self-defense without weapons”. Combat SAMBO is more related to modern Mixed Martial Arts which adds striking to an already comprehensive style of self-defense.
