Sambo -- (also called Sombo in the US and sometimes written in all-caps) is a modern
martial art, combat sport and
self-defense system developed in the former
Soviet Union, and recognized as an official sport by the USSR All-Union Sports Committee in
1938, presented by Anatoly Kharlampiev.The word Sambo is an
acronym of meaning "self-defense without a
weapon" in Russian. Sambo has its roots in traditional
folk styles of
wrestling such as
Armenian Koch,
Georgian Chidaoba,
Moldovan Trîntǎ,
Uzbek Kurash,
Mongolian Khapsagay and
Azerbaijani Gulesh (wrestling style).In 1980, Sambo was a demonstration sport at the Olympic Games in Moscow, Russia. However, due to boycotts, it failed to bring sufficient numbers for continued inclusion as a participatory game.
