Step 1
Decide what kind of Sambo videos you want to watch. Do you want to watch actual Sambo matches or videos that teach different techniques? Is there a specific technique you need help with to help you narrow down your choices? Or maybe you're simply looking for an overview of the fighting technique, a workout video or self-defense techniques.
-
Step 2
Get a Sambo workout video. You can purchase videos that offer routines for a total body workout much like aerobics videos only using the moves from Sambo instead. The exercises showcased in these videos are designed to help you build strength, agility, flexibility, speed and stamina.
-
Step 3
Try blocking and striking technique videos. Featured techniques on these types of videos generally include instructions on both foot and hand strikes and blocks from both a standing position and from the ground.
-
Step 4
View videos on various lock techniques. You'll find videos that cover leg, foot, ankle and wrist locks or combinations of all of these. Some may also include arm bars and fighting combinations that include various locks with other Sambo moves.
-
Step 5
Watch chokes and headlocks. These videos show viewers how to move inside an opponent's attack and take them out with chocks, headlocks or neck cranks. Some of these videos may also offer techniques on how to escape from these potentially lethal techniques.
-
Step 6
Buy videos that teach throws, sweeps and take downs. If you're already comfortable with striking, blocking and various locks, a video that covers these techniques might be more geared for you. These videos demonstrate how to take an opponent to the ground using various forms of throws, sweeps and take downs and some may also show you how to counter these moves.
-
Step 7
Purchase videos that teach Sambo self-defense. These videos not only show common combat Sambo techniques but also tend to cover disarming techniques that could be used in self-defense situations. Disarming can include weapons such as guns, knives and clubs.
-
Step 8
Find Sambo videos for purchase. You can purchase videos from various outlets both online and at some bookstores. Many martial arts equipment suppliers also sometimes offer some videos. You may also be able to find some to rent from larger video stores, but the rarity of a particular art form may make this route unfeasible.
