Video Transcript

"STEPHEN KOEPFER: On behalf on Expert Village, my name is Stephen Koepfer of New York Combat Sambo in New York City, and today we're going to show you Sambo combinations.

So from the knee strikes, he knees me, I catch. Sweep before we set back. This time, we keep the knee under our armpit. We're going to turn into a knee bar right there. One time fast, blocking, blocking, catch. Again, in Sambo, there are multiple combinations of techniques from defense to offense, submission, throw. This you'll see we have the option at the end of going ankle lock or knee bar, and it all depends on what my opponent is going to do."
