The unique and effective martial art is Russian Sambo
Developed in the former Soviet Union and recognized as an official sport of the USSR All-Union Sports Committee in 1938, Sambo is a modern martial art. It is definitely a combat sport and self defense system. Sometimes referred to in the U.S. as Sombo, Sambo means literally "self-defense without weapons" and has its roots in popular styles of wrestling like Mongolian Khapsagay, Armenia Chidaoba Koch and Georgian.
Although no real recognized founder of Sambo, Anatoly Kharlampiev is often declared as the official founder. Oshchepkov Vasili, who was shot during the political purges 1933, and Viktor Spiridonov, due to a shoulder injury during the Russo-Japanese used Sambo as a soft, aikido, as a system.
Sambo is one of the four styles of amateur wrestling practiced today, the other three are Greco-Roman wrestling, freestyle wrestling and judo. FILA accepted Sambo as the third style of international wrestling in 1968. In 1985, the International Federation of Amateur Sambo (FIAS) was formed. Sambo was a demonstration sport at the 1980 Moscow Olympics, but due the large number of boycotts that affected the game, the numbers were insufficient for Sambo to be included in more games.
Originally a single system there are now four recognized styles of Sambo. Borba Sambo or Sport Sambo is very similar to judo or wrestling, but unlike Judo, allows leg locks but choke you are prohibited. Self-defense Sambo is much like jujitsu or Aikido and work on the basis of defense against armed and unarmed attacks. Sambo Sambo Boyevoye or combat was developed for military and included the use of weapons and disarming techniques used. Competition in these styles is like the greatest Judo with mixed martial arts with stunning attack and used widely. The latter style is particularly Sambo, which was developed by the Special Rapporteur Army Forces and Rapid Reaction Police and different branches of service using different techniques. Those who participate in Sambo competitions normally wear a jacket or red or blue called a kurtka, a belt and shorts of same color and Sambo shoes called sambovki.
Russian martial arts differ from the east, and that is based on both techniques, but based on the concepts of training. In Eastern martial arts, instruction is through movement and testing techniques, where as in Sambo and other Russian are taught to use improvisation, but within a certain structure. Students of this style are taught that pain is punishment for a wrong move and when it stops hurting, you're doing well.
Today there are Sambo schools and teachers around the world and the popularity of sports has grown tremendously in recent years.
