Ludus for Sambo

Sambo was developed to improve hand-to-hand combat abilities. The word Samba translates literally to “self-defence without weapons.” Inspired by Jujutsu, Judo, and other martial arts, including striking, it combines the most effective techniques of other martial arts. 

As with all martial arts, one of the most important goals in Sambo is to improve your response time and decision-making processes. Respond faster than your opponent and get them locked down and pinned.

Sometimes fast is not the answer, and you have to make the right decision at just the right moment. Time your attack perfectly and get into the optimal position to throw your opponent down.

The time a Sambo fighter has to process, analyze and execute the perfect response is milliseconds, which can make the difference between winning and losing.
