Ok! mine is> How many of us put our hands often in aquariums where we keep large cichlids?

All i meant was that sambo really took from many martial arts and was a more structured form than just brawling and striking

ahh even NHB has sombo guys in it .. had judo had bjj and boxing .. just was the same thing as MMA .. sombo had the rules .. NHB had the mixed arts

but i see what you mean .. both had a lot to do with what we now know as MMA

There are three variants of sambo. Sports, self defense and combat, free style is an American invention. The moves you see in MMA are ALL sport sambo also some of the moves in sports Sambo (notable those taken from Georgian step wrestling) are band from US MMA (not sure about outside the US). The reasons for the exclusions are debated among classic Russian Sambo practitioners.

Self deffense Sambo is a set of moves that allow you to deffend yoursefl but not intended to cripple or kill your opponent.

Then the combat variant which while unstructured (no points system) is not by any stretch of the imagination "just brawling and striking". There is an organized set of moves that have very specific purposes: restrain/disarm, cripple or kill. To restrain/disarm or cripple are predomonatly joint manipulations and pressure points. The killing part isn't really taught outside of the military for obvious reasons.

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

I would say so. i would pour it into a glass first though since the area around the cap tends to collect amounts of milk that will dry and sour and can give off a foul odor even if the milk hasn't expired according to its date.


My question is this: how come in sambo competitions they wear blue or red and it is always those 2 colors on opposite sides ? i have never seen a combat tournament with any other colored uniforms. I suppose red vs blue makes it easier to tell the fighters apart..... but why not green or black or other colors?

I believe like wrestling that it's simply a scoring issue. It's easier to have one side blue and one red. then you can keep track of who is who. Rather then who has blue camo and who has pink camo shorts.

well your kind of right Vale tudo in Brazil was the start of what we now know as MMA it was a no rules booth fighting in the 20's

now sambo is much like vale tudo but its more of a art not just people pounding the crap out of each other .. and it was deleloped late in the game as far as matial arts go ... most MA are old as documetaion its self where sambo is a newer art ..

now with fedor .. you are 100% correct .. he is a sambo master .. but thats not all he is good at .. he is a really well rounded fighter that has trained in many other arts .. but sambo is his main art ..

Wasn't the question referring to blue and red trunks, and not that you have knowledge on the issue? I can see you arguing this thread up with mma already ha.
