Sambo Self Defense: Military Techniques

Hits, grips, protections, and ground fighting... you will find these and many other Sambo techniques taught and demonstrated throughout this DVD. Sambo was created for the army and the police needs; the name was taken from the Russian expression ''Samozatchita Bez Orugia'': self-defense with no weapon. At the beginning, the Russian soldiers were commissioned to create Sambo. Then they developed it to make it a full fighting system with an extraordinary logic and an exceptional fluidity between the standing work and the follow-up on the ground. Sambo is an endless style which enables everyone to be able to respond any fight. It was well-tried in free fight, notably with Oleg Taktarov, UFC 5 & 6 winner. This DVD is presented by French-Swiss Herve Gheldman, graduate of the Sambo and Combat Sambo Russian University. He attended many police and military academies and received training with Russian Special Forces. After a brilliant sport career including a World Championship, Herve Gheldman now devotes himself to the teaching of sport disciplines Sambo and Combat Sambo, and especially the teaching of Sambo to security and self-defense professionals.
