Sambo: The Ultimate Guide To Starting Sambo and Combat Sambo

I certainly am not the martial arts expert, but after reading this book I feel like I at least know quite a bit more about Sambo. This book covers the rules- who decides who wins, the judge, the conditions for victory, etc. It covers the various styles of Sambo and the attire that should be worn during matches. I wish there was a little more info about how to actually get started, i.e. the organizations and classes one could take, the training one could do; but overall it's a good intro to Sambo and a good book on the art.

Boy was I disappointed when I got this. I love grappling, wrestling, Bjj, and judo. I decided I wanted to learn some sambo after watching Khabib Nurmagomedov in the UFC. The "ultimate guide" is far from it. 64 pages of words. The only picture is on the cover. The author believes that a few links to YouTube videos was satisfactory for his readers. Psssshhhhhhhh.........save your money. I wouldn't give it one star if I could.

not bad

I was taken aback at first because there were no pictures. Just video links to said techniques in the book. But its a good reference to someone new to grappling arts.

THOUGHT IT TO BEDIFFERENT IN CONTENT

It's just a blatant plagiarism of the sambo Wikipedia page. This book might not even be legal to sell.Avoid it.

This book has a great history lesson, as well some good techniques to start out with. It talks about finding yourself and taking care of YOU.

An interesting enough read but you won't learn any Sambo from it. It gives some historical background and describes what it's like to train in it but it isn't a training manual.

Book is crap. Has no pictures, only descriptions of stuff. It's also a really small book. Won't teach you effective self defense at all, but will sell you on the virtues of sambo. Do yourself a favor and just Google sambo. You'll learn everything this book will teach and more.
