Save FILA Sambo Wrestling For Later SAMBO WRESTLING

FOREWORD
Sambo, which means self-defense without weapons, originated as a sport in the
Soviet Union in 1938. Since, 1968, when I was designated as President of the
Sambo Committee of FILA, I have been dedicated to its international growth and
development. I believe sambo has great appeal to young people because it is a
combination of weestling and self-defence techniques and is an excellent physical
conditioner. As sambo techniques can help wrestling and other combat sports it
‘would be to the advantage of students of these related sports to also study sambo,
Herbert Jacob
President of the Sambo Committee of FILA FOREWORD
Sambo, which originated in the Soviet Union, was recognized as the third style
(of international wrestling governed by FILA in 1968. Physical educators are
‘becoming increasingly interested in this most exciting combat sport since it combines
techniques from both wrestling and self-defense and has widespread appeal. Sambo's
srowth in recent years is evidenced by the first European Championships, which
Were held in the Soviet Union in 1972, and the first World Championships, which
will be held in Japan in 1973. It is my sincerest wish that this book will be helpful
in continuing this growth in many new countries.
| would like to personally thank Mr. Shozo Sasshara, for his preparation of the
Photographs, and Mr. B.M, Andreey, for his technical assistance in preparing this
ook.
