Combat Sambo is a Russian Martial Art that began development in the 1920's. Combining a wide range of throws, take downs, sweeps, ground work, submissions and chokes. Also having a comprehensive stand up game including striking and weapon work. Sambo is often called Russian Judo due to its heavy influence from the Japanese art. Russian Sambo has many similarities to Judo and Jujitsu, with its own identity and path to victory.
Sambo became part of Prescott's Martial Arts Academy almost 20 years ago. While traveling and giving demonstrations in California. Grand Master Thiele was introduced to Master Vincent Ornealas, president of the United States Combat Sambo Federation (USCSF). Who was a TaeKwon-Do practitioner as well. The growing relationship resulted in Jong Park Institute becoming the east coast charter school for the United States Combat Sambo Federation (NOW DISSOLVED).
Our Sambo program is headed by Head Coach Dustin Prescott and Assistant Sambo Coach Joshua Jimerson. The focus of the class is providing a safe training environment, traditional and modern Sambo techniques & methods, and simple self defense.
Our Junior program is designed to teach children how to navigate around larger opponents, how to defend against bullies and violence without breaking those in front of them. Grappling can be a more peaceful answer for children and their self defense needs.
"I teach with the sole focus of altering your perception as a citizen and student. When I think of fighting, I think of boxing or a bar fight. I think of young kids and their need to 'prove' themselves. Men, Women and children will often use physical force and violence when the necessary tools to deescalate a situation have never been learned. There is a better way. Fighting is avoidable, if you didn't exhaust all attempts to verbally diffuse the situation. To create space or escape and you engage. You're asking for it. Self Defense isn't for fighting, its for survival. In the pure, mature idea of having to hurt another person - it should be reserved for when you have no choice. For when another individuals intent is to harm you or a loved one. For when you cannot escape, talk your way out and you need to act and fast. Sambo can be incredibly destructive when performed full force and with intent. It can also be a much safer and humane way to resolve a situation than just striking your way out. Teaching positions, holds and submissions with striking in mind gets our student thinking and about the correct path to safety."
