Dbl underhook pass. Upcoming tournaments

Found a great example of the dbl underhook pass that we worked on Tues by the boys from submissions 101. Dont forget to put a kickstand under his butt(arm, knee) or he'll drop his hips back down and reguard you.



Coach Eugene Shewchuk is having a catch wrestling tournament Nov 29 08 in Montreal for more info go to info@pancrasemontreal.com
Also in Feb is the Canadian Combat Sambo tournament, check back for exact dates or contact me with any questions.

Sergey Kharitonov

One of my favorite fighters Sergey Kharitonov recently fought in Dreams 6. He was suppose to fight Mighty Mo the k-1 kickboxer but he got injured so instead he fought this guy ,, oh well still fun to watch.Sergey was a commando sambo champ in the army.

Tues class

Today we trained entirely on the ground. We reviewed a few guard passes from last Fri class, and then a few new sweeps from the guard. The first pass was a double underhook pass ,the second was a stack and turn over from the same position.The sweeps were something new for most of the guys. Number one was the ball sweep and the second was the shin across the belly.Dont forget on both sweeps to use his momentum to get him over , let him do the work for you.
I'll try to find some videos demonstrating both sweeps.

Fall Classes

Fall classes began last week. This fall there are a few changes. Tues class will focus solely on grappling, from standup to the ground.We'll try to work on a few takedowns (old and new) every class then work on the ground techniques. Remember 90% of all fights end up on the ground but 100% start standing so work those takedowns. Fridays class will be mma, so bring your mma gloves and boxing gloves if you have them. Classes will consist of skipping, bag work ,technique drills and sparring. Sat will be 100% sambo day, both sport and combat. You will need a kurtka or gi, let me know if you need one.
I'm really looking forward to getting on the mats, everone is really improving the hard work is paying off.

I found a couple videos of Sergey Nikitin European combat sambo champion, very slick submissions, great sambo.
