SGS Sambo

Welcome to SGS Sambo, a renowned institution located at 31A Barry Avenue in Mortdale, Australia. As an establishment focused on health and self-defense, SGS Sambo offers a unique and effective martial art known as Sambo.

Originating from Russia, Sambo stands for "self-defense without weapons" and was developed in the early 1920s by the Soviet Union's NKVD and Red Army. Initially designed exclusively for training Soviet special forces in hand-to-hand combat, Sambo quickly gained recognition for its practicality and applicability in real combat situations.

Combining the most effective techniques from various martial arts, Sambo emphasizes aggression, quick-striking paramilitary techniques, and wrestling skills. It is a comprehensive fighting system similar to MMA, covering all elements of fighting. Unlike other arts, Sambo teaches you how to fight in any scenario, without rules or restrictions.

At SGS Sambo, we are proud to offer authentic Sambo classes in metropolitan Sydney. Our trained Sambo fighter and instructor will guide you through the intricacies of this martial art, ensuring you gain valuable self-defense skills.

One of the key advantages of learning Sambo is its focus on grappling and takedowns. Having strong grappling skills and the ability to take down an attacker provides a significant advantage in street fights. Sambo also teaches you how to utilize strikes, kicks, elbows, and knees effectively, including "dirty" techniques like groin strikes for self-defense. These skills set Sambo apart from other fighting systems.

In the world of MMA, many notable fighters have a strong background in Sambo. Champions like Fedor Emelianenko and Khabib Nurmagomedov have showcased the effectiveness of Sambo in their successful careers. Fedor, considered by many as the greatest heavyweight fighter in the history of the sport, transitioned from Sambo to MMA seamlessly. Khabib, on the other hand, is renowned for his grappling wizardry and masterful use of Sambo techniques in the UFC.

At SGS Sambo, we believe in the importance of sparring etiquette and the unwritten rules of sparring. We also emphasize the significance of Krav Maga gradings and how they contribute to your growth. Furthermore, we understand the value of training even with injuries, as it provides the best self-defense training you can receive.

SGS Krav Maga, our parent institution, has been named a finalist in the prestigious 2023 Australian Small Business Champion Awards, further showcasing our commitment to excellence.
