Good post shoot. Although the judo takedown game and ground is changing because of the Russian judo players. They devoloped a strategy of using more wrestling style takedowns to get the opponent to the ground but and then using the highly developed ground techniques they defeated people easily. People call this style of judo which uses better groundwork and wrestling takedowns Russian Judo. But the other players are catching up learning the unorthodox takedowns and groundwork of the Russian judo style. It is also good that you didn't comment on sambo due to lack of knowledge. Most people will pretend they are experts on the subject instead of admitting the truth. I have done bjj, bit of wrestling and judo before I converted to sambo and russian ma. Sambo is an art that combines judo throws, wrestling takedowns, and soviet wrestling takedowns. On the ground it has something similar to the bjj guard game but its a bit different because sambo allows leglocks and bjj does not take leglocks into account that much. Sambo players prefer the top position though and they have incredible top position and submission game compared to most bjj schools which focus mostly on guard work and less top stuff. Sambo also includes strikes, weapon defense, and a few other things. There are two main types of sambo competetions, Sport sambo which is like submission wrestling with a sambo uniform. Absolute victory is made from a high amplitude throw which leaves you standing and your opponent on his back and from a submission. Combat sambo is basically mma. |
