sambo class

Today we worked on more combat style grips. In order not to get caught with punches you must stay outside or clinch tight to your opponent. The over the back grip is very effective for this. From this grip you can go to the traditional hip throw, the sweeping hip throw(we worked on this today) and also the outside trip. You must be quick with the throw so as not to be countered with a pick up or foot sweep as you reach over for the belt.
Here is an example of Igor doing the hip toss. I also found a nice clip of Igor Yakimov doing some combat sambo/self defense. Great throws. Enjoy.
