How to Do a Front Trip Move in Sambo Martial Arts

Video Transcript

"STEPHEN R. KOEPFER: On behalf of 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. Okay, this next Sambo combination is going to involve the same throw from two different angles. In the event the first throw doesn't work, we're going to do a basic Front Trip or "perednia podnochka" in Russia. I enter from my front trip, and for some reason it doesn't work, I can keep this grip, switch to the other side, and switch to my weight and do a secondary front trip. Okay? This is in the event he bases out or he steps, moves a little bit on the first front trip. So he has a grip, I enter for the first one, it doesn't work, I come to the second one, follow him down as always. Go right into your strikes, submissions, anything that's available to you. The important thing is that if you don't control your opponent after the takedown, nothing will be available to you. If you do control your opponent, everything will be available to you."
