      Get the strikes down. While Sambo focuses heavily on throws, grappling, holds and locks it does not neglect striking moves. One of the great advantages of Sambo is that instead of teaching a highly formalized fighting technique, it uses practical situations, which often include more than one assailant, to structure its punching and kicking techniques. Learn these strikes to put your Sambo into action.

      Deal with weapons. Sambo is a Russian acronym that means "fighting system without weapons." The focus on weapons, or at least the absence of weapons, in the name of the technique is an accurate reflection of the system. Sambo teaches students how to disable an armed opponent and use the weapon against him. Deal with weapons and disabling armed opponents to use Sambo fighting techniques.
