-$tooozl$::sUSJACOACHa a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a aSAMBO AND JUDO - ALIVE AND WELL INVLADIVOSTOKby Professor Laurence P James, SandanDivision of Earth Environmental Sciences, Puk-yong National University, Pusan, KoreaWhen visiting Vladivostok, Russiarecently, I found only one public Judo dojo.There, high school and students ofyoungerage told me they had studied another budoform beginning in elementary school.I asked about sport Sambo, and wasdirected to three large clubs in thedowntown area, and was told there weremore. Maps of recent tournament sitessuggested that Sambo, a Russian, partlyVladivostok-oriented cousin of Judo, stillflourishes in former Soviet states andsatellites. Russians pronounce Sambo withan "a" as they write it, and looked puzzledwhen I mentioned"Sombo".Participants and coaches of various agesat one university and at the regional(Dinamo) stadium, were especially cordial.They countered my few words of Russianwith slightly better English and a lot ofhumor. All the facilities were large rooms,with soft, non-segmented, smooth-covermats. My new teachers were former nationalchampions - they complained of asevere lack of funding compared to formertimes, and thus - fewer medals. But theyhad plenty of enthusiastic students, manyof them recreational players, and severaluniversity Sambo men were also competinginternationallyJudo.Outside, the wind was blowing at minus20 degrees Celsius, and there were fuel andpower shortages. Inside, after thoroughwarm-up, most of the "trainserovna" wasSambo randori with frequent individualcoaching. Severalighter-weight guys werecareful with this visitor, mixing practicewith demonstrations of unusual throwinggrips, and Neil Adams style rolls. Theyemphasized fast, soft take-down into holds.According to the Internet, Sambo refereesshould stop mat grappling after about l5-20 seconds unless there is progress. But theRussians said their rules say after oneminute. Matches (and some randori periods)are 8 minutes in duration, and a pin(20 seconds) gives points but not an automaticwin. Despite the many possible legholds forbidden in Judo, the most commondecisive Sambo technique still seemed tobe juji gatame.Men and women, as well as young teensand kids, all train separately and at differenttimes, with practice held six days a weekat all facilities. There is a huge club forwomen only, set among facilities for lessenergetic sports and conditioning in a largesports-health spa complex, with two colorfulfull competition rings. I was told thewomen's team regularly takes medals at all-Asian competitions. At the stadium I alsowatched a more "extreme" men's non-sportpractice, combining boxing and grappling,with police staff among the participants.By the time I left, it was clear that Judowas also widespread, with two regionaltournaments forthcoming in Februaryalone. I returned to Korea with a pair ofsoft leather sambofki (shoes) and a greatnew respect for Russian friendship and energy.Clearly, Judo and Sambo are alive and wellin the cold, far-North Pacific!Nightly practice at Fareastern Polytechnical University, Vladivostok
