>tfw no sambo instructors near you

>>42704807
No, but google is just a click away

>>42704848
Its really just Judo with striking and wrestling. Heres a good alternative for you:
>learn Judo
>learn freestyle wrestling
>read some books and internet tutorials on sambo exclusive techniques and try practicing them with sparring partners

>>42704807
>not em but
Look for a gym with pro fighters, doesn't have to be world champs, some competitive fighters.

>>42704890
i was thinking of going to a ghetto boxing gym for that hardcore training or something

>>42704784
Boxing or Muay Thai for sure. You can get away with boxing because you can win a street fight by just using your fists. Muay Thai would be cool if you want to also learn how to throw elbows and kicks and knees. Research the sports and see which one you like more. Research gyms in your area and see which ones are the real deal.

Hey so I want to pick up muay Thai and I've been working out since June however it's just been cardio and body weight stuff, is 120$ a month a good price for a gym? I'm really thinking about it and the gym itself seems solid. Im going to sign up for a free week and see if I like it. What are some red flags?

>>42704903
Alot of that 'hardcore' training is just ghetto crossfit.

>>42704907
How many days a week are lessons?

Where i am lessons for twice a week are $90. But here, CA, is flooded with muay thai and mma cuz chuck lidell is from this city.

>>42704907
WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A MARTIAL ARTS GYM:
•Physically conditioned, fit participants
•Trainer with certified professional record and a training history with at least one athlete who competes successfully
•Sparring, "aliveness" in training
•At least one participant competes at amateur or professional level
•Physical conditioning part of training

WHAT TO BE WARY OF:
•Fat, physically subpar students and instructor
•Graduation fees (e.g. "pay $200 and advance to next belt extra quick!")
•No proven athletes training there
•No sparring, moves shown are choreographed (e.g. "the attacker does this, then I do this, then you do this...")
•Cult-like atmosphere
•No physical conditioning

Sparring is definitely vital. Also an instructor that will go out of his way if you show sincere interest. My first lesson went way off track because i kept asking questions (there were only two people attending that day cuz holiday week) but i learned a shit ton. Every lesson includes about 1/3 of the time for sparring.

>>42704981
maybe because it literally derived from judo 0.o ever think bou dat!

Hmm, never really thought much about it outside of it being a martial art Russians do. To be fair when I watch Khabib use Sambo in the UFC it doesn't seem very Judo like.

Alot of the classical throws only work with gi's.
All the trips and 90% of throws does work with a slight grip change.

>>42705169
This I know. When I do no-gi in class I try to figure out how I can sneak in throws I could do with gi by changing the grips around.

I usually just end up shooting for a leg though.

>>42705259

>>42704623

>>42704953
Probably boxing

>>42704719
Modern points judo (ippon)?

>>42705814
Yeah man.
I haven't competed since i was a yellow.

>>42704784

>>42705169

Most of the traditional throws that rely on lapel grip can be done with a wizard grip. In general, you just have to get super good at your kuzushi and learn not to rely on muscling through with the grip.

>>42705826
Right on. Just go for it. Start competing again. It's super fun. What's your tokui waza?

>>42705880
ko soto gake.
I do it from the side.
I can never get any hip throws, i have a pretty decent morote seoi nage but i can't find when we spar.

>>42704623
Thinking about starting up Muay Thai and Kendo, thoughts?

>>42705676
no hes Jersey Joe Walcott boxers here should look him up if they havent already the man was way ahead of his time

>>42705912
Sweet. Yeah, I can never seem to get a hip throw off. People just block my hips or lock me out with their arms. I need to practice my kuzushi/entry and hip/foot speed. I mostly just fake osoto gari to try to land sasai tsuri komi ashi.

>>42705955
Just go for sasai tsuri komi ashi right of the bat.
You can sometimes get it.
I don't feel comfortable twisting and turning into throws.

>>42704705
You box in the morning + jits in the evening or?

>>42706065
Most of the week I try to do BJJ class and heavy bag work after. One day of the week we have no-gi and sparring for boxing right afterwards.

Depending on how fatigued I get I might do two days lifting, three days training or vice versa

does training with an MMA group instead of specific martial arts make sense?
I don't want to be that Russian powerlifter guy so I'm thinking about learning some fighting skills but I live in a small town and the only martial arts avaliable are karate, krav maga and mma. there's boxing and bjj in nearby towns (but I don't have a car)

>>42704904
You don't want to use your fists in a street fight. You can easily break your hand. Most of your striking should be done with your elbows and knees.

>>42704938
American education. This is all bullshit.

t. learned from a Tokyo ex-SWAT guy, an ex-national trainer from China, a Black Belt hall of famer, a Karate EU champ, a Bavarian vice champ in Boxing etc.

What you want to look for:
Can they beat you easily in a match?
What you want to be wary of:
Are they afraid of fighting?

>>42704623
>What art are you training in?
Dutch style kickboxing
>What does your workout look like?
Plyometrics, full body lifting, running 3 days a week
Kickboxing classes 2 times a week, involves physical conditioning, some sparring, learning combos, ab work etc.
Bag training 1 or 2 times a week, focusing more on technique
>Are you running?
Yes about 4 days a week for 20-30 minutes at the highest speed I can handle for that time
>What's your record like?
Haven't done actual fights yet, I'm a newbie
>You are running, right?
Yes sir
>What is your goal?
Get into amateur fights, maybe if I get really good go pro. Would like to eventually transition to MMA.

>>42706451
All of that is pretty much covered in that list there.

>Can they beat you easily
Training record and history
>Are they afraid of fighting
Sparring

What does any of that have to do with being American anyways?
