Combat Hapkido - punching & kicking with joint locking techniques
Combat SAMBO - Originating in Russia (former USSR) in 1938 as a hand-to-hand combat method for soldiers, Literally, SAMBO is an acronym for "Self defense without weapons", (Som-oborona Bes Orusyia). Combat SAMBO involves throws, takedowns, striking techniques, weapons & removal... This is "Combat SAMBO" !. Over the years SAMBO has developed into a sport of world structure, having been recognized as such in 1968 by the International Amateur Wrestling Federation. SAMBO was classified as the third wrestling discipline alongside Freestyle & Greco Roman. Sport SAMBO involves throws, takedowns, groundwork & submissions... This is "Sport SAMBO"!
Because it rains when we wish it wouldn't, Because men do what they often shouldn't, Because crops fail, and plans go wrong- Some of us grumble all day long. But somehow, in spite of the care and doubt, It seems at last that things work out.
Because we lose where we hoped to gain, Because we suffer a little pain, Because we must work when we'd like to play- Some of us whimper along life's way. But somehow, as day always follows the night, Most of our troubles work out all right.
So bend to your trouble and meet your care, For the clouds must break, and the sky grow fair. Let the rain come down, as it must and will, But keep on working and hoping still. For in spite of the grumblers who stand about, Somehow, it seems, all things work out. *hugs*
