This is basically a technical study on an overview of fighting skill sets in MMA; basic kickboxing, wrestling and grappling. It is so fascinating to see how well-rounded Sambo is. No wonder they're so successful in MMA! Thanks for sharing! Very technical sparring with no ego! 🙂

[@MMAShredded]

:) thanks for watching!!

[@matheuspn2722]

Judo and wrestling*

[@Ineedafuckinholiday]

I actually thought Bulat was under skilled in the striking department. Immediately it's clear his wrestling is excellent but I think he'd struggle in a competitive MMA bout.

[@bobk480]

Way better than bjj

[@Zack1440]

👍🏽

[@tedeis7215]

I try not to pick favorites, but if I had a fav Jeff Chan video, this may be it. Very fun, controled, intense, balanced, respectful. Everything we aspire to in a spar. 🙏

[@denx2pogi]

I have to agree!

[@Toki52]

Yeah man, this was fun to watch. Jeff and Bulat have ultimate self-control.

[@the36thchamber89]

Agreed.

[@jhensennreyes439]

Agreed. Damn that was fun for sure. Sambo guy looks a lot stronger then what he appears.

[@pingislife2653]

Highly technical, wide variation of attacks, good pace, and yet very careful not to damage each other. This is one of your best sparring vids. Thanks, Jeff.

[@MMAShredded]

thanks man!!

[@vaughncassidy5242]

Love how you guys effortlessly get the take downs from a boxing position. I have learned a lot just watching you guys.

[@MMAShredded]

[@Gianno_]

Bulat has some insane throws, makes it look so effortless, the ground game and stand up was on point as well. Great job at showing how effective sambo is

[@MMAShredded]

cheers!!

[@babarasul680]

5:50 that hip throw was so clean. In Sambo they have a habit of keeping a hold of the sleeve after the throw because it makes it harder for the opponent to defend, which is how he got the armbar just before Jeff noticed. More Sambo videos please! there's too little high quality Sambo content on KZbin

[@MMAShredded]

thank you for watching!

[@unco_pk_traceur7748]

not quite a hip throw! it is called seio nage in judo

[@babarasul680]

@@unco_pk_traceur7748 idk you're probably right. I think the one I mean you don't go to your knees but instead you stay standing and pull the opponant's hips towards you and block then lift with your own. Similiar principle.

[@muhammadibnmusaal-chorezmi7240]

@@adim00lah Both MMA and Combat Sambo started as a mix of other martial arts but emerged into martial art of it's own. Today you can learn MMA from the ground without learning any other martial arts.

[@adim00lah]

​@@muhammadibnmusaal-chorezmi7240Sambo is a hybrid style, but it's very specific arts mixed together that makes sambo. Where as mma can be a mix of any styles. You can make your own unique mix of mma, can't do that for sambo. Muay thai is technically a hybrid art, as it's a mixture of muay boran and western boxing, but you wouldn't call a thai boxer a mixed martial artist would you?

[@shohelkasamji11]

This is by far the best sparring video I seen on your channel. Wow!! So many techniques and such a respectful yet technical spar. I had to watch this over and over again to make notes of all the moves. Thank you so much for sharing this. Absolutely brilliant this one was!

[@MMAShredded]

thank you for watching!!!

[@mk-ld8ih]

Sambo is amazing to watch.

[@emmanuelawosusi2365]

​@@MMAShredded great video

[@4thbranch834]

Knee Taps are one of the easiest and most effective moves in martial arts because the position to pull it off is so common. Another part of what makes it so effective is that it is so often overlooked by so many different martial artists and martial arts forms. As a former bouncer at 130 lbs i can tell you ive used it on people twice my size with ease around a hundred times, works good on people in chairs who refuse to leave also... You can remove them from the chair and put them onto their back side and you have a hold of their foot already so you just take off running with it! Tons of fun and super exciting for the onlookers! Thx again for excellent video!

[@MMAShredded]

cheers!!

[@MrAntinexus]

And very low risk

[@copa593]

130 lbs bouncer? Did you work at a kindergarten? Dont get this wrong, i am a small guy myself. I would never imagine myself working as a bouncer.

[@avakinzerochill]

​@copa593 I worked in a big club with three floors (I'm a bigger guy) we had a few small guys, but we also had 9 bouncers on each floor at any given time, so a smaller guy - or any if us for that matter - would only have to hold their own for a few seconds - long enough for backup to get to them.

[@STORMCombatSystem]

@@copa593 There are different tasks for different kinds of bouncers. I used to train a guy who was part of a bouncer team in a big club, he was a relatively small guy, good looking and soft spoken. His job was to be the first to attend a situation in the club and try to verbally de-escalate. Of course the guy had quite a few years of martial arts training, but basically his job was to be polite and try to avoid any kind of violence, if possible. If he failed to get any results, then came the big guys, basically a few heavy weight Muay Thai fighters from ex-Soviet republics that would use the hard way. And outside in a car always waited another couple of guys with guns, just in case (they very seldom had to interefere). But the little guy's part was very important too, and of course in certain situations with very aggressive people he would have to engage them himself till the gorillas arrive.

[@umadbro998]

I love how humble Jeff is! not afraid of showing himself losing! Respect Dont stop champ!

[@MMAShredded]

[@oletrn]

Thanks so much for making more sambo videos! This one was brilliant, couldn’t resist rewatching it time and again. Having a decent Muay Thai training by my mid-thirties, I regret not taking sambo classes earlier (shame on me, as I was literally born in the USSR). It’s probably still not too late )

Your Sambo friend had some nice moves with the grab to the left knee and push on the shoulders. Sometimes I think that you allow your opponent to do moves on you and that is humility on your part, but that also allows us to see your opponents techniques and learn from it as well. Your techniques are so much more fun to watch than most professional fighters in the UFC, you show a great variety of techniques and nuggets masterfully put together and executed. Thanks!

Always a pleasure to see your videos man. I’d love to come learn from you some day. Your approach to MMA is awesome.
