That's kind of how I feel about paying for it. I didn't even know gunderson was on the card till today. It'll be interesting to see how he does. The guy he's fighting doesn't sound like an easy fight either so we'll get to see how he's progressed since the IFL days!

Jon Gunderson will be making his UFC debut on this card. I enjoy watching Oregon boys on the big show...but with now guarantee that it will be televised, not worth shelling out the bucks to watch the others.

I guess in my ignorance of leglocks I assumed there wasn't much you could do from the side saddle position. Aside from the cross body hellhook. It just seams like the whole saddle series would be more "complete" than just the 50/50 guard. Again I'm pretty ignorant to leglocks but I'm trying!

Actually there are a ton of attacks from the side saddle. It is just is easier for your opponent to escape/counter. The full saddle is the more secure/safer position.
What qualifies a guard as being "complete"? The saddle positions can be used for control, sweeps, and submissions. What else is there?
Yin and Yang...there really is no technique that is the cure all. There will always be a counter and a re-counter to the counter.

Re: judo and sambo « Result #7 on Dec 28, 2009, 5:05pm »
When Sambo was first formed during the communist era, it was intended to be regarded as a strictly Soviet martial art. To develop the art, they sent researchers to study other arts around the globe and bring home information. The information was then used to form a highly effective style of fighting that they claimed as their own. Most of the art was from Kodokan Judo and folk wrestling.
One of Sambo's founders was Vasili Oshchepkov. He was the first European to receive a black belt in Kodokan Judo. He trained directly under Jigoro Kano in the early days of Judo. Oshchepkov was executed by the communists for not renouncing the Japanese style of Judo as the roots for Sambo.
Leg locks are not common in modern Judo, but in the early days, they were quite common. In Mifune's book "Canon of Judo" you will find ankle locks.
The takedowns that lead to leg locks are not very spectacular to watch. This, along with potential leg injuries in competition is why they were removed from Judo contest. (IJF is currently trying to remove some throws that involve lower body control)
Competition rules have narrowed Judo techniques. Most practitioners of Judo in the U.S. are purely Olympic style. Those of us that practice the "art" of Judo, still employ lower body attacks.
The main difference between Judo and Sambo is the same also with Brazilian Jiu-jitsu...rules of contest. An arm-bar is an arm-bar, a choke is a choke. Emphasis on throws for Judo, emphasis on lower body attacks in Sambo, emphasis in ground control in BJJ.
All three arts include these skills, but the rules dictate where you tend to focus your skill development, thus causing the separation of the arts.

judo and sambo « Result #9 on Dec 27, 2009, 2:17pm »
I was just wondering the key differences between sambo and judo. Also the key similarities? I know sambo has a lot of leg locks and judo doesn't typically focus on leglocks because its illegal in competition. Other than that I don't really know what makes them different!

Crazy thing called the 50/50 guard. We call it the saddle position in our dojo. Maybe this should fall under the "Sambo" category. Wanna discuss it?
I sure do! It seems to me that the 50/50 guard is an incomplete guard. How many attacks do you really have from the "side saddle"? It seems like there's a lot more you can do from the other saddle positions. 50/50 guard is all the rage though.
