I got a chance this past Saturday to do a short workshop seminar with Reilly Bodycomb of the American Sambo Associaiton.

He is a very good guy and just as open as all the others I have met as part of the ASA.

It was a very casual environment. We started out with some gross motor skill locks, then onto building into more technical locks.

Then we went into some funky submission and finished off with a basic kneebar.

We discussed Sambo and about grass roots growth. Basically he the great thing about sambo is its lack of rank, structure, weight classes. Its just a big wrestle off. You learn to apply your game to the rules defined by the rules and that is sambo. i love that idea. Just do it and compete.

I have 2 DVD on leg locks from him and they are pretty good. And he points out things he has found to be wrong from them. So i got a impromptu revisions.

check him out at http://www.rdojo.com and http://www.ussambo.com for the american sambo association.
