About this item
Sambo is one of the most effective, technically diverse and dynamic fighting sports ever devised.

Over the course of 332 pages and with more than 1,200 color photos, the comprehensive Sambo Encyclopedia features hundreds of throws, holds, armlocks and leglocks. Author Steve Scott also presents a systematic approach to how the sport of sambo is taught and practiced as well as historical insight on how this fascinating combat sport from Russia came about and developed into an international sport.
