Defending Strikes into Takedowns (SAMBO Techniques)

Sambo and Judo are one of the most underappreciated martial arts to be supplemented in MMA and I'm glad, with the popularity of wrestling now, They are being appreciated by many of martial artists including Jeff. I'm curious how these sambo techniques will furthermore evolve your standing grappling game man. Great video❤

[@MMAShredded]

thanks for watching man, more coming!!

[@prvtthd401]

I think it is also a geographic difference though. Wrestling is more popular in the west, but in the east there are alot of judo-esque mma fighters. Muay thai/kyokushin is also very prominent in the east while boxing is more prominent in the west I feel like. I don't have numbers though hahahaha

Sambo is great because it was one of the first systematic attempt at blending different grappling arts and striking and grappling. It has a lot of knowledge deep into it. I am glad it is becoming famous because it will help the creation of the final fight art.

I wrestled for 20 years including at a D1 college, then I met a Judo Black belt and realized maybe my throws weren't as good at I thought they were. Judo is grossly underrated. Also, this dude just seems super cool. I bet his students love their classes.

@@johnboikov1360 There’s amazing content on Vlad’s channel if you’re a fan of sambo. Very rare to have such a high level guy explaining in english

[@davybigfly]

Incredible. As a judoka who also trains muay thai this is amazing. Thanks for sharing new knowledge Jeff.

[@GraveRave]

Great combination to train. I bet clinching in muay thai can easily transition into judo, right?

[@davybigfly]

@@GraveRave kinda depends on what rules we are going with. Strict MT rules I can't attack the legs with leg hooks like osoto gari or ouchi Gari. You could do some sweeps like hiza guruma, or footsweeps like sasae or deashi. In pure Judo rules nobody clinches like that. You almost could never get a necktie and you are better off fighting for grips in the lapel and sleeve. In something like sambo or mma, then you could mix the two martial arts with more freedom. If someone does a MT clinch on you, its quite easy to counter with wrestling/ judo moves. Hip tosses like ogoshi, uchimata and leg hooks like ouchi all day (as shown in this video). This is why in mma, people don't thai clinch a ton (we see Charles oliveira utilize the thai clinch well, let's see how that fares against Islam). I would suggest doing the Thai clinch to set up some strikes and then you gotta break free or finish with a throw. You can't be complacent in the clinch.

[@chefxhyrule242]

@@GraveRave I always wondered how someone with great Muay Thai and Judo would do in mma it’s a great combo and add some subs off of the trips and throws and you’re a deadly fighter

I did Judo as a teenager and Sa-Sai was one of my favorite throws. I was taller so that move worked so good. I used all those throws. I had 3 Judo coaches. The last one passed away in August. I did Judo in the 1990s. Our practices were so much fun. My body is too old and damaged now. I do enjoy watching these modern day blends of Judo, Sambo, and wresting tutorials.

The detail on the head positioning is so key. Winning the head position fight controls standing and what happens on the ground, especially with guard passing.

[@sway71]

Awesome demonstration. I've always loved Sambo techniques. I feel like Judo, Sambo, and Jiujitsu each focus on a different part of the spectrum of grappling from standing to the ground. I'm glad you're helping them get some more visibility!

[@MMAShredded]

Thanks for watching !

[@merkins87]

Nowadays I'm quite happy that everything is blending in together to make "mixed martial grappling", as every style has something to bring to the table. I like to look at bjj like a degree, with different majors & minors in certain disciplines/areas. Traditionally, I would've said "bjj teaches you how to get out of trouble; judo/sambo/wrestling teach you how not to get into trouble"

Vlad is a beast and also clearly an excellent coach. Clear, succinct explanations with great care to let you land gently when demonstrating. An important detail to point out in the roundhouse catch --> sasae that didn't get discussed: Vlad planted his lead/base foot with his toes pointed in the direction he was going to turn. This gives the spin much more power and range of motion.
