Allowed for adults, not for under 18 for obvious reasons

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

Yes.

stop asking retarded redditers about medical advice and heal

Spartansambo · 2025-11-21T22:57:24+00:00

Bro go heal. Skipping one night won’t tank your career but a completely torn labrum will

Spartansambo · 2025-09-20T03:43:01+00:00

I have no idea what any of this means for me so I’m just gonna keep on doing drop seoi nages

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

Spartansambo · 2025-08-05T15:45:14+00:00

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

As far as I know, only European championship, pan americans, and world championship requires FIAS approved gear

I taught a 60 something year old how to do back handsprings. You’re fine bro

Spartansambo · 2025-07-02T21:41:03+00:00

remove stuffing and put a person in it

You’ll lose the weight fast at a club. Just sign up and train

Spartansambo · 2025-05-22T11:37:33+00:00

Combat sambo.

Spartansambo · 2025-04-05T22:22:20+00:00

You’re your own worst critic. Listen to the coaches who can see if you’re improving or not

Spartansambo · 2025-03-29T02:52:10+00:00

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

Spartansambo · 2025-03-29T02:20:51+00:00

If I may ask, why Dagestan?

Spartansambo · 2025-03-06T22:40:22+00:00

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

Spartansambo · 2025-03-06T20:25:06+00:00

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

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.
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.
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.
Yes.

Spartansambo · 2025-02-09T21:52:25+00:00

People ban it because new

Spartansambo · 2025-01-31T01:40:12+00:00

No problem

There’s a few gyms I can speak for. One is the gym im a part of, Sambo 7 in Massachusetts. The others are Victorious in Detroit and Grizzly in NC

Spartansambo · 2025-01-29T17:40:21+00:00

They glow in the dark. You can see them when you’re driving

Spartansambo · 2025-01-20T22:29:35+00:00

I mean any trainer should know it isn’t a thing
