Sambo conditioning

The video below shows a great warm up of a japanese sambo class. Notice the obvious gymnastics influence upon their training and the resultant athleticism.

Nice, Ido.

This was very much like the judo warmups we used to do as a kid. I don't remember too much but my dad used to also tell me of gymnastics drill they did. I was very young then (4-7 ) so my memory of things isn't too great.

This doesn't surprise me because the Japanese have a lot of calesthenics in their physical education program and I'm quite sure there is basic gymnastics as well.
