Sambo for BJJ?
Have you ever tried your hand in Sambo? This crazy Russian martial art has three different versions, sports Sambo, combat Sambo, and the original version which is military Sambo. This last one is reserved for battlefield uses, but the sports sambo (grappling-focused) and combat Sambo (similar to MMA) have lots to offer to anyone involved in combat sports.
Sambo has been influenced by Judo a lot, which is evident from the attire that includes a Gi jacket in both sports and combat Sambo. So there’s one aspect that’s directly relatable to Gi BJJ – the kimono.
Furthermore, Sambo has a very wide variety of takedowns and throws, most of them blending Judo and wrestling together, which, once again, ends up offering effective options for BJJ as it removes rule-based constraints. Moreover, options offer attacking both the upper and lower body, which is exactly what you need in BJJ.
From a ground-fighting perspective, Sambo is the original grappling art that emphasizes leg looks. Everyone’s favorite 4/11 position is actually a Sambo position, originally called the Saddle. As it happens, Sambo loves to combine takedowns and leg locks which is yet another thing BJJ grapplers can capitalize on using Sambo tactics.
Pinning and arm-locking submissions are also highly prominent in the sport, providing a catch-wrestling approach that blends perfectly with Jiu-Jitsu. The only aspects that Sambo lacks are the guard, which is not highly encouraged, and chokes, which are considered to be too dangerous to execute.
The Blueprint For Smeshing Khabib Nurmagomedov DVD does combat Sambo real justice, offering select aspects of the game that Khabib prefers, and has been modified to be extremely effective for any grappling or combat sport.
The Legendary Khabib
The name Khabib Nurmagomedoc strikes fear even in most Bears in the Caucasus region, let alone men. Khabib’s legacy in combat sports is undeniable, given the Dagestani’s legendary status in the UFC as an undefeated champion.
With a record of 29 wins and no losses, Khabib immortalized himself as unbeatable by being well aware of where the line is, and retiring before his performances diminished. Whether or not he would’ve lost, and to whom is open for debate but what’s certain is that Khabib’s ultra-effective style had everything to do with his grappling background.
The Dagestani spent most of his life practicing Russian wrestling which is a lot more technical and tactical than the explosive, conditioning-based Amercian style. Also influenced a lot by Judo. this wrestling style is the building block for Khabib’s success.
However, wrestling is not enough for MMA, so Khabib’s polished and rounded game was the result of combat Sambo, which is more or less MMA, just with Russian rules and attire. Still fairly underestimated in the world of grappling martial arts, Sambo offers a wealth of grappling options that, as Khabib demonstrated< can work at the highest possible levels of combat sports.
Some of his knowledge and approaches, especially regarding his unbeatable top game are now available through his Blueprint For Smeshing Khabib Nurmagomedov DVD isntructional.
Blueprint For Smeshing Khabib Nurmagomedov DVD Review
The Blueprint For Smeshing Khabib Nurmagomedov DVD is a three-part grappling instructional that is a perfect first for anyone involved in grappling martial arts or MMA. It is, understandably, demonstrated in No-Gi and holds just under 2 hours of high-quality material.
Part 1 – Smeshing from Standing
Sambo has a much more diverse range of standing techniques than BJJ, even though it rivals the Brazilian art in-ground positions as well. This versatility allows different fighters to adopt different aspects of the game to their advantage, just as Khabib did.
The first volume of the Blueprint For Smeshing Khabib Nurmagomedov DVD outlines the key tactics Nurmagomedov likes to use, offering the perfect blend of Judo and wrestling. he begins with a few distance management concepts which include the threat of striking, before he explores the best ways to get the match to the mats.
Takedown-wise Khabib covers single leg variations, plenty of body lock drag downs and throws, as well as footwork, clinching essentials, and duck unders. He also refers to what he did in matches, with the Conor McGregor knockdown explained in detail.
Part 2 – Pinning Pressure
Once on the ground, it is time to æsmeshÆ, a.k.a. dominate the top by forcing the bottom person to carry weight all the time. This part of the Blueprint For Smeshing Khabib Nurmagomedov DVD starts with positional dynamics that explain how you can use the opponentæs legs to gain top pinning positions such as mount.
Once in the mount, Khabib wastes no time offering plenty of submission options, such as mounted triangles, Kimura variations, and a nasty Americana+biceps slicer combo. Throughout his coverage of submissions, lots of attention goes on how to maintain the constant pressure from the top (the ‘Smesh’).
Part 3 – Using the Cage
Finally, the last part of the Blueprint For Smeshing Khabib Nurmagomedov DVD goes over an aspect of grappling that is still very underdeveloped, particularly for BJJ grapplers – cage grappling.
If you think you will need it, take a look at grappling matches taking place in ONE FC, or the latest pit that CJI presented, and you’ll see that cage grappling is becoming a necessity in BJJ as well as MMA. In that regard, Khabib reigns as the undeniable master of using the cage to control your opponent.
In this volume, he talks about essential cage techniques and breaks down how to control different aspects of your opponent’s body using the cage. Most of the focus is on gripping and manipulating the legs and wrists, but he also covers a few smashing ideas towards the end.
Pressure Wins Matches
If there is one thing we can learn from Khabib’s game it is that being heavy is something that is going to kill the desire for resistance even in seasoned grapplers and fighters. Khabib’s tenacity had nothing to do with endless conditioning or “grinding” but rather with the tactical use of pressure from top positions.
Entangling the legs and using them as a highway to achieve upper body pins, which is what everyone in grappling is after was not something explored too much in BJJ or MMA before the Dagestani appeared. His use of triangles against the legs and a simple version of wrestling bar arms revolutionized how grappling for MMA works.
Given that MMA was the original test environment for BJJ as well, not including this pressure game in modern Jiu-Jitsu borders on the insane, especially since there are no legal issues in terms of most if not all, rule sets. Making sure your opponent can’t stand up is going to force them into tunnel vision, which opens up a whole host of other attacking opportunities for you.
If you’re not certain where exactly to start, the Blueprint For Smeshing Khabib Nurmagomedov DVD is definitely ground zero for such research. Even if you disregard the MMA-specific aspects, there are still crucial pieces of the top game pressure puzzle in there that you shouldn’t miss out on.
