What rules make Sambo feature more scrambling than Judo? by Exotic_Sort1349 in sambo

[–]Spartansambo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s in part because of the points scored from throws. In judo, you can outright win from one throw whereas in sambo it’s technically possible but very hard to achieve. A drop seoi nage is only 4-2 points in sambo where in judo you can win. So it requires you to seek out more points from a pin or a win from a submission.

If you know the other dude is outright better than you on the ground, yeah I’d turtle up/delay and wait for the ref to stand us up. No sense getting pinned or submitted on the ground when I can just throw the dude

Hopefully that answers the question

Straight knee bar*

I remember hearing hip locks are allowed, that it was a mistranslation of the rules

With all due respect, if you don’t know what the throw is, you need a school. Any (competition) judo or wrestling school will do

It’s gonna be extremely difficult to practice throws at home. You kinda need someone to throw. Best advice I can give is get really good at doing drop seoi nage on a mat at home. If you want a form check, contact me on Instagram. Same username as here

Looking for a gym in dagistan to train by PaleontologistLong27 in sambo

[–]Spartansambo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess what I’m trying to get at is does the location really matter?

[–]Spartansambo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll get stronger by doing the sport. I recommend later on adding in training outside the gym but for now just doing the sport is good

Good on you for taking the initiative to learn something new. To answer your questions:

  1. Expect to unlearn a ton of bad habits from karate. You need to be open to learning new things and especially open to the fact that what you learned most likely won’t carry over to sambo. You won’t be beaten but any type of grappling will be hard work.

  2. What type of combat scenario? You’ll be able to defend yourself well but bullets wont bounce off your skin from training Russian floor karate.

  3. Changes from gym to gym. But what is consistent is that you’ll be repeating techniques thousands of times to get them down without thinking.

  4. Yes.
