I took two back-to-back classes of sambo last night. Both were very good classes. The first one was spent setting up a throw, tani otoshi (again sorry for the Judo terminology) in a self defense situation, and then transitioning to a choke on the ground. Steve, the instructor, pointed out the importance of using gravity and bodyweight to get most of the work done. The next class was an advanced level class which included some sparring at the end. We worked on sasae tsurikomi ashi. Sparring was limited to this throw, which makes it difficult to execute because there is no element of surprise. Once a throw was executed, one minute of mat work. The grappling is easily the most grueling. By the end of class, I was well done.
