sambo punching

Here is a great clip showing how to "cast"your punches. Eugene is very good at this technique and it's required for his testing. At the first seminar at our club he went over striking from the sambo arsenal. Try a double hook, have your partner weave under the first and nail him with the second, he'll never see it coming.

Igor Kurinnoy

Hey guys here's a sweet vid of Igor one of the best sambists of all time. Not only does he have amazing throws but his submissions are incredible, check out the kimura he gets with his legs. Igor is good friends with Pat Miletich and is in Iowa sometimes. Road trip!!!!
