Wrestling throws

Tonight Andrew was asking me how to incorporate the sambo throws we practice into our wrestling and mma. The only difference will be in the grip, rather than a hold on the kurtka you might have a collar tie a two on one or a underhook or overhook.
The principles of the throw are all the same. Shoulder, hip, elevators and fireman carries are common to all forms of wrestling from creco, freestyle,judo, sambo, kurash, bohk, koch, schwingen. Here are some great examples of some world class wresting.

Sanda(sanshou)

Who says kung fu guys cant fight? Here's a clip of sanda or sanshou, loosly translated as free fight. Sanda is full contact with the goal being to knockout or throw you opponent. Sanda is one component of wushu(kung fu),allthough most traditional kung fu schools dont do sanda, at least from my experience. Eugene spent two years in Taiwan and is a certified sanda instructor.

Outdoor class

Hope everyone had fun training outside, I know I did. Found a good video from Erik Paulson about turning towards the hand to escape chokes. Erik is a former world champ in shooto and my buddy Randys coach.

Outdoor class

this Sat we will be doing an outdoor class on self defense sambo(providing the weather is nice).Bring clothes that you dont mind getting a little dirty. I'll remind everyone this week.
Here are two clips of self defense sambo the first is a combat instructor from Mississauga and the second are a club from Slovakia.
