About RedBear Sambo Academy

Oleg Savitsky is the founder of REDBEAR SAMBO. Oleg is an expert in hand-to-hand fighting, with proven skills by becoming three-time Combat Sambo World Championships medalist, winner of various wrestling tournaments and no-holds-barred fights. Since Oleg is experienced in the fighting arts, whether in the street, in the ring, or on the mat, it was natural that his friends sought him out to form a dedicated group of students who wanted to learn the art of Combat Sambo. Some of the first students already had experience in freestyle wrestling, judo, submission grappling, yet, each lacked some additional skills that would make them more well-rounded fighters.

How is Sambo Used?

Read some history on Sambo here. Since Sambo was designed to cover all aspects of fighting - ground fighting, hand to hand, weapons - it is a perfect package of techniques for anyone learning the art of self-defense. Because all students are able to learn techniques with proven effectiveness in numerous situations, it is no surprise that some of them successfully use their skills to resolve potentially dangerous confrontations, to fight in the ring, to fight in submission grappling tournaments or to enhance their effectiveness in the field of law enforcement.

Who Can Learn Sambo

Since Sambo was designed to be a simple and efficient form of self-defense, anyone can learn and practice this great system regardless of their age or sex. There are many benefits for everyone who wants to practice Sambo - it guarantees the physical strength, technical proficiency and mental confidence necessary to deal with adverse situations. Even if you are an expert in wrestling, grappling or some other martial art, Sambo will help you improve your fighting game drastically.

Who Trains at RedBear Sambo Academy

Oleg trains individuals at all experience levels, from those learning new skills to those with expertise in some mixed martial arts (MMA) styles wishing to expand their competence into other areas of mixed martial arts to improve their fighting techniques.

All cross training at RedBear is to help both students and practitioners to gain new abilities, share skills, and most importantly, to build confidence and physical strength.

Since Oleg knows many great masters and fighters, and also embraces the wisdom of other martial arts styles, it is not unusual to meet and practice on the mat with combat experts, world class Judo and Sambo practitioners, Thai Boxers, Jiu-Jitsu practitioners and UFC veterans.
