Product Description
The founders of Russian sambo sifted through all of the world's martial arts, including judo and jiujitsu, to get the most combat-effective techniques available. Each technique was carefully dissected and considered for its merits in achieving sambo's ultimate goal: to stop an armed or unarmed adversary in the least time possible.

In this book, author Scott Sonnon traces the development of the four types of sambo (self-defense, sport-wrestling, combat sambo and Spetsnaz) and then focuses on sambo's mixed martial arts applications. Here he reveals the signature "saddle" techniques that have made him one of the most respected leg-lock coaches in the world. With 101 step-by-step moves - including entries, sweeps, passes, recounters and a host of submissions - this series is a must for all MMA competitors searching for an edge over the competition.

Sambo prides itself on fast-wrestling, with only 60 seconds of groundfighting permitted. In mixed martial arts, however, these locks only work 20 percent of the time and aren't worth sacrificing quality position. As a result, Sonnon modified traditional sambo to become a "lower-half" positional approach so that fighters could both strike and defend against strikes, maintain positional dominance and easily transition from one submission to the next in a chess-like fashion, as Brazilian Jiujitsu has become known for in the "upper-half" game. Now you too can learn these winning strategies from one of the best sambo instructors in the world. ... Read more

Product Description
Robert Sweet shows a virtuosic command of fictional techniques, but he is not showing off. His style is never merely an overlay, but always organic to the stories. And in this day when so many writers are specialists in the angst of their demographic group, Sweet manages to imbue his characters with human credibility and their situations with utterly recognisable tensions. And probably because of this, 'White Sambo' offers a more powerful and touching vision of gay life than one could find in more politicised accounts. Here, it is always the people who matter. For me this book was a find. ... Read more

Product Description
This book was used to read to kindergartner's classroom taught by mother-in-law for many years. It was probably written by Helen Bannerman but does not state she was the author. This is the classic story of Sambo going into the jungle in his fine clothes, piecing the clothes out to the tigers who ultimately became a pool of butter when they became so angry at each other that they went round and round a tree until they melted. This would be a great addition to anyone who happens to collect Sambo items even though it is only in acceptable condition. ... Read more
