I try not to pick favorites, but if I had a fav Jeff Chan video, this may be it. Very fun, controled, intense, balanced, respectful. Everything we aspire to in a spar. 🙏
This is basically a technical study on an overview of fighting skill sets in MMA; basic kickboxing, wrestling and grappling. It is so fascinating to see how well-rounded Sambo is. No wonder they're so successful in MMA! Thanks for sharing! Very technical sparring with no ego! 🙂
I actually thought Bulat was under skilled in the striking department. Immediately it's clear his wrestling is excellent but I think he'd struggle in a competitive MMA bout.
Highly technical, wide variation of attacks, good pace, and yet very careful not to damage each other. This is one of your best sparring vids. Thanks, Jeff.
Bulat has some insane throws, makes it look so effortless, the ground game and stand up was on point as well. Great job at showing how effective sambo is
This is by far the best sparring video I seen on your channel. Wow!! So many techniques and such a respectful yet technical spar. I had to watch this over and over again to make notes of all the moves. Thank you so much for sharing this. Absolutely brilliant this one was!
5:50 that hip throw was so clean. In Sambo they have a habit of keeping a hold of the sleeve after the throw because it makes it harder for the opponent to defend, which is how he got the armbar just before Jeff noticed. More Sambo videos please! there's too little high quality Sambo content on UA-cam
@@unco_pk_traceur7748 idk you're probably right. I think the one I mean you don't go to your knees but instead you stay standing and pull the opponant's hips towards you and block then lift with your own. Similiar principle.
Knee Taps are one of the easiest and most effective moves in martial arts because the position to pull it off is so common. Another part of what makes it so effective is that it is so often overlooked by so many different martial artists and martial arts forms. As a former bouncer at 130 lbs i can tell you ive used it on people twice my size with ease around a hundred times, works good on people in chairs who refuse to leave also... You can remove them from the chair and put them onto their back side and you have a hold of their foot already so you just take off running with it! Tons of fun and super exciting for the onlookers! Thx again for excellent video!
@copa593 I worked in a big club with three floors (I'm a bigger guy) we had a few small guys, but we also had 9 bouncers on each floor at any given time, so a smaller guy - or any if us for that matter - would only have to hold their own for a few seconds - long enough for backup to get to them.
@@copa593 There are different tasks for different kinds of bouncers. I used to train a guy who was part of a bouncer team in a big club, he was a relatively small guy, good looking and soft spoken. His job was to be the first to attend a situation in the club and try to verbally de-escalate. Of course the guy had quite a few years of martial arts training, but basically his job was to be polite and try to avoid any kind of violence, if possible. If he failed to get any results, then came the big guys, basically a few heavy weight Muay Thai fighters from ex-Soviet republics that would use the hard way. And outside in a car always waited another couple of guys with guns, just in case (they very seldom had to interefere). But the little guy's part was very important too, and of course in certain situations with very aggressive people he would have to engage them himself till the gorillas arrive.
Sambo, hands down is one of the best martial arts out there. I remember learning about it like 20 years ago, glad to see it's getting the respect it deserves thanks to people like Fedor and Khabib etc...
@@adim00lah Both MMA and Combat Sambo started as a mix of other martial arts but emerged into martial art of it's own. Today you can learn MMA from the ground without learning any other martial arts.
@@muhammadibnmusaal-chorezmi7240Sambo is a hybrid style, but it's very specific arts mixed together that makes sambo. Where as mma can be a mix of any styles. You can make your own unique mix of mma, can't do that for sambo. Muay thai is technically a hybrid art, as it's a mixture of muay boran and western boxing, but you wouldn't call a thai boxer a mixed martial artist would you?
Man, that was beautiful. Loved the talk through, it really helped me focus on the important parts of the action. So great you were so evenly matched as well, provided a really dynamic and interesting sparring session.
Thanks so much for making more sambo videos! This one was brilliant, couldn’t resist rewatching it time and again. Having a decent Muay Thai training by my mid-thirties, I regret not taking sambo classes earlier (shame on me, as I was literally born in the USSR). It’s probably still not too late )
The real definition of a martial artist. Always training with other arts. Always showing humility and an openness to learn. Real talk though… as a BJJ Black Belt myself… they’re sandbagging on your belt if you’re still a brown. Your grappling is off the charts. Specially with striking. Always a pleasure to see your videos man. I’d love to come learn from you some day. Your approach to MMA is awesome.
This is some one of the best sparring videos I’ve ever seen So much to learn from one clip and beautiful fluid real technique.. your partner is a real killer and your channel is a gift Thank you OSU 🥋🙏🏻
5:51 shoulder throw into armbar was really smooth. As a gamer, I'm pretty sure there is a Tekken or some fighting game characters with that exact throw movement sequence
That was a beautiful drop seio-nage when y’all were both in the gi. Just subscribed to him on UA-cam. I’m glad to see more mma UA-camrs giving Sambo the time of day.
Seen loads of these videos on UA-cam over the past 15 or so years but I have to say I think you’ve done it the best. Great commentary during the spar and fantastic videography.
Your Sambo friend had some nice moves with the grab to the left knee and push on the shoulders. Sometimes I think that you allow your opponent to do moves on you and that is humility on your part, but that also allows us to see your opponents techniques and learn from it as well. Your techniques are so much more fun to watch than most professional fighters in the UFC, you show a great variety of techniques and nuggets masterfully put together and executed. Thanks!
i know everyone says this, but good lord we appreciate your narration and even the clips of what the move was supposed to look like. i wouldn't know otherwise
Hands down one of the best examples of grappling I have ever seen on yt- proper elite level fight grappling and the respect level is outstanding too… awesome
This was incredibly satisfying to watch. The breakdown of all the positions was top notch, super high level and controlled sparring with just the right amount of intensity. Great content!
Amazing video as usual, yet better day by day Looking foward to seeing you try Sanda, Lethwei, Japanese Shootboxing and some Full Contact Karate styles with MMA-based ruleset ( ex: Kudo, Nippon Kempo, etc )
Been waiting for a breakdown vid! Sambo is amazinggg a super fun to watch @ 5:52 That drop seoi nage to armbar was so cleeean ur top control and transitions to mount were so elegant and smooth Thanks Jeff!
Fantastic video! Y'all are so evenly matched. It's so interesting watching the interaction between your more sophisticated, BJJ-focused ground game versus his Sambo style, which is not as sophisticated but heavily focused on returning to standing or on top
this is the most beautiful and respectful pro sparring i ever seen , thank you , God bless you , i am gonna keep it in my collection , and watch it again and again
It’s so cool seeing the hand traps and sort of traditional kung fu parries he uses with casual striking. Very interesting and very calm style! Such a great video!
Woah, what an amazing video with very high level skills! As an mma fighter you did a fantastic job and stood your ground well, your understanding of the game is crazy. The sambo guy did a tremendous job as well, and the versatility in his takedowns sums up what I thought of sambo as well. Amazing video man, hope to sse more of this!
hey jeff, just wanted to let u know that im very thankful that i found your channel! u inspired me to start my martial arts journey again after i took a break for like 6 years. Thank you very much and i wish u all the best 💪🏼
This was a beautiful technical breakdown. I enjoyed how you held back in the striking component to focus more on the flow of grappling in the context of a MMA style fight. I also appreciate Jeff throwing on a Gi to level the gripping as much as possible. Beautiful job!
Jeeeeff wowww this one video is the best Great sparring great explanation Thx for your expertise And his Sambo is a force to be recognized very technical guy so are you jeff Thx for making great content 🙏🙏🙏
I love Combat Sambo 👍 started off boxing, Greco Roman Wrestling, Tangsoodo Moo Duk Kwan, little bit of Judo, then Did Combat Sambo & Combat Systema. Sambo is MMA & for the street. 👍 Sambo is in my Opinion all you need it's Striking & Grappling. Awesome video 👍
Well matched and FUN as hell to watch. I have always respected Sambo. I live in an area with No Sambo schools. I have always wanted to train at a Sambo school. Thanks for the video.
@MMA Shredded Jeff Chan this is one of the best vids on UA-cam wish people could see the difference between high level and low level. You need to get the names down of Viktor Roll not Grandby, Harai Goshi, drop seo nage etc but excellent vid he is really good I'd do a breakdown if I had time. I sent you an email weeks ago if you could Breakdown some of my own Sparring and Grappling highlights vs other Pros would make this old guy happy
Hey Jeff I have been following you for a while now. Bro you are a beast and so humble at the same time. A real role model. You teach and inspire people all over the world in such a unique way about martial arts and so much more that comes with it. You are my favorite martial artist. I would love to meet you some day. Much love from The Netherlands bro. This is my favorite video ❤

Yeah man, this was fun to watch. Jeff and Bulat have ultimate self-control.
Agreed.

Great technique by both fighters. Kudos to you Jeff for always being game to challenge yourself and share your learnings with the community.
His name is Bulat which is pronounced like „boo-lat“. You however called him „bee-lat“ which sounds similar to a russian swearword 😅
I messed up bad LOL
Amazing sparring and I LOVE the fact that you highlight everything with accuracy as well as go light on the striking just to improve on the ground.
thank you :)
