this looks like a two man sambo form in the worst way.

By Jason M. Struck on Wednesday, August 06, 2008 - 11:34 am: Edit Postinteresting. early history does sort of parallel Sambo.
My comments were more about the contrived or 'performance' looking nature of the video.
it neither looks like competition nor even an earnest 'flow roll'.
it looks like a pre-arranged show. I could easily see how if this style were practiced in the fashion that Judo or Boxing or BJJ or MT are, it would probably be excellent.
It also has the potential to turn out like your average JJJ or Hapkido school in a strip mall in suburban Wisconsin.
