Sambo is a very popular sport in our country. It appeared in our country back in Soviet times. This martial art is interesting in that it is a combination of self-defence and attack techniques taken from many other martial arts such as Judo, Sumo, Jujitsu, Greco-Roman Wrestling.
Like many other types of wrestling, Sambo, in addition to strict rules, has its own code of honor. In many ways, it is similar to the judo code, since it was this martial art that became the basis for the formation of sambo as a separate direction.
A real sambo wrestler must always respect his opponent, be honest and polite with others, and be loyal to his friends. All this allows athletes not only to improve their physical skills, but also to train the strength of the spirit, since it is in it that human strength lies.
Sambo can be practiced not only professionally, but also in amateur sections. This sport is very useful for building self-defence skills and strengthening the body. In addition, Sambo helps to gain self-confidence, and you can meet real friends during training. I met all my best friends in wrestling, sports friends are true friends. wrestling. Sports friends are true friends!
