Sambo is a great sport with a fun ruleset. Shame about finding a gym.

>harder training
>harder fighting

It's about the same. Just more of a Russian pedagogy with an emphasis on drilling instead of a billion rounds of lighter randori.

Kudo is better because Russians didn't touch it.

ask me how i know you dont train either.
the differences between standup grappling arts (judo, sambo, wrestling, greco etc) are mostly superfluous, the most effective sport will be the one you train the most and with the most effective coaching.
and on that note, good luck finding a decent sambo school outside eastern europe, while judo coaches who've trained olympic level athletes or went to the olympics themselves are everywhere.
judo is the only sport i could think of that lets me train with and get advice from olympians, for free, without leaving my local club.

I’ve gotten that from fencing as well but I agree with your main point

Sambo is popular among dorks because it's "muh russia".
Recent special operations should have made it clear that russian martial power is mostly a meme.

If you have a club nearby, sure, try it, but don't expect a magical special sauce that turns you into a killing machine. If I've learned anything in my 30+ years of martial arts, everyone puts on his trousers one leg at a time, no matter how secret and high tech his training methods are.

I want it to succeed. It's rules are quite sensible (I really like it's ippon rule), and the jacket itself and freedom of grips makes it feel like a ruleset by grapplers for grapplers.

why would you use your hands in a war, retard? Not even Romans went hand to hand against enemies.

Man. There's so many Russians where I live, but the only Sambo club I found is unreasonably far to drive to.
Maybe I need to search harder. I'd love to do it for however years I have left until I'm too old

The fuck are you talking about? Kudo is insanely popular in Russia and bagged an impressive amount of medals.

>>140669
I treat it the same way as Combat Sambo; it's almost MMA, but nowhere near as developed. It has the same ingredients, but it didn't turn out the same way.

More like nowhere near as regulated.

The techniques don't quite integrate as well as modern MMA does.

When I look at Kudo, it's akin to the proto-MMA days of Shooto in the 1980's and 1990's. You have punches to the face and body, low kicks to the outer and inner thighs, knees, sometimes elbows, Muay clinches, throws, and submissions. It's almost the same, but still its own creature.

I see a lot more high kicks in Kudo.
