Holds: The most practical holds for controlling an opponent and setting up an arm lock or leg lock to finish him off.

Arm Submissions: 22 armlocks that should form the core of your sport fighting arsenal.

Leg Submissions: 10 core ankle and knee locks that have a high rate of success in finishing a match.

Championship Sambo by Steve Scott 5

Reviewer: Jerry Buccellato from Gladstone MO
An outstanding book both in content and presentation.  Steve  shows clear and concise photographs in demonstrating  technique and gives detailed training tips to help the reader master the various moves.  The amount of information contained in Championship Sambo is enough to insure a high degree of proficiency in martial arts if practiced as shown.  More than worth the cost of the book

Championship Sambo 5

Reviewer: Nick Rothwell from Gardner, KS United States
Very complete book. Provides a well written brief history of Sambo that is interesting and well written. The Core Skills Section, Holds Section and Arm & Leg Submission Sections are very well written and provide extensive instruction with clear concise photoographs. The sections provide enough techniques to keep a novice grappler busy for a month of mat time. A seasoned grappler will learn to operate techniques from different angles his opponets wont expect. I have read and own many different books on grappling. Most provide a few common techniques and a couple "flashy" if you are ever in this position techniques. The techniques are not "Flashy" they are time proven in real world events on the highest stages of the grappling sports. Instructions and photographs are top notch and easy to understand. Bottom Line is if you want to be a better grappler buy this book. And practice the techniques shown and you will be well on your way!
