It was born in the aftermath of the Bolshevik revolution and remained largely a state secret until the collapse of the Soviet Union. It is called sambo, a Russian acronym that stands for self-defense without weapons, and it is a martial art that combines striking, submissions, throws and weapons disarmament.

Popular in Russia and the former Soviet republics, sambo was relatively unknown in the rest of the world. But over the last 15 years that has slowly changed in the United States with the increased popularity of mixed martial arts, a sport that counts a number of sambo experts among its elite fighters.

Sambo originated in the early 1920s. Two men, Viktor Spiridonov and Vasili Oschepkov, studied various martial arts throughout the world — disciplines like karate, judo and Mongolian wrestling — to find the most efficient way to thwart an armed opponent.

 To make sambo a sport, Soviet officials prohibited striking a competitor, for safety reasons. They also created a new uniform: a modified judo jacket along with shorts and shoes. Even as sambo was transformed into a sport, the country’s military and secret police continued to practice it without competitive restrictions, a form of the martial art known as combat sambo. This variation includes strikes, chokes and weapons disarmament maneuvers.

Sambo has grown over the last 15 years in the United States because of the popularization of mixed martial arts and the increased access to Russian coaches, said Stephen Koepfer, the head coach of New York Combat Sambo in Manhattan.

Experts say that it is the dominance of fighters like Arlovski and Emelianenko that has been the main factor in the growth of both combat and sport sambo in the United States. “Sambo is mixed martial art,” said David Rudman, the founder of Sambo-70 in Moscow, the sport’s largest academy in the world. “Show me a move and it’s good, we use it.”

Some schools are doing just that. The American Sambo Association, an organization founded by Koepfer and Barakov to promote the sport, has modified the rules to broaden the sport’s appeal. Vladislav Koulikov, a Russian immigrant who owns Ultimate Sambo, a school in upstate New York, implemented a belt system to help attract students.

Some of these inventions may rub traditionalists the wrong way, but not Emelianenko.“I’m all for it,” he said through an interpreter. “It’s my desire to advance the sport.”
