You silly Americans and your obsession with fascist Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Just like the Ak-47 this art will crush you like the Vietnamese speaking trees.

    Sambo is good. From what I understand, there's a lot of work on stand up which is cool, and of work on leg locks. These are some of my favorite things. Sambo, in my experience, is more rare than BJJ or Judo, so I urge anyone who wants to learn grappling to not turn your nose up at a school because it's not sambo. The gi top and shorts are reactionary anyway don't @ me

      Well what are you going to do if a sweaty man in his underwear and bathrobe come and attack you in the middle of the night? You can't berimbolo your way out of that one lib.

      Yeah I really wish sambo was more prominent here in the u.s but because of the cold war and not having aggressive marketing campaign/slimey Gracie family business practices it's only in a few states (florida, texas, california, Louisiana, new York).

        I don't like the Gracie family either. I think BJJ is plenty effective for grappling though. I think, when you're able to spar and compete at high intensity with a small chance of injury, you end up with sick ass martial arts. And grappling is just that - be it BJJ, Judo, wrestling, or Sambo

          I like bjj but butt scooching needs to be put on the back burner for white and two stripe blue belts but I guess that's just how it Is for schools who heavily compete at ibjjf tournaments.
