Sambo

Sambo (the combat variety rather than the sports or freestyle varieties) is without a doubt one of the most dangerous martial arts in the world. Developed in the former U.S.S.R., SAMBO is the acronym for SAMozashchita Bez Oruzhiya, translated as self defense without weapons. Developed to improve hand to hand fighting in the military, Sambo heavily utilizes striking and grappling. Like all varieties, Sambo focuses on speed and throwing one s opponent.
