Team DYNAMO will leave for NYC this Friday.  We wish them the best luck. 
 
 
April 27.  We had the honor of having Viktor Tatarkin (photo, center in black), Denis Maximov, Dimitiry Nosov, and Ivan Kokorin for training with the wrestlers today. Tatarkin is a UFC fighter and SAMBO Champion; Maximov is the World SAMBO Champion for 100 kg and Russian National SAMBO Team coach; Nosov was the Judo Bronze Medalist in the Olympic Games in Athens for 81 kg, winning this title with the broken hand; and Kokorin is a famous Russian actor. The four were filming a movie about SAMBO and wished to pay a visit to the Dynamo Club. Tatarkin was kind enough to coach a couple of the DYNAMO wrestlers as well as act as a judge in several practice matches.  A BIG Thank you to all.

All practices are SAMBO-focused, so please wear SAMBO attire.  For daily practice time please click here.

April 18.  The following is an excerpt of a letter from sensei Brezhnev, a member of the American Amateur SAMBO Federation's executive committee, to the organization about the upcoming US Championships, and the inclusion of Combat SAMBO into the competition.
 
         Dear AASF (American Amateur SAMBO Federation),

               Just 25 days before the openings of the main event for the Pan American SAMBO community. We
               are looking forward to have a very good time and a high level of the MMA performance, during the XV 
               USA Open/Pan American Championships. We believe, it would be very beneficial for SAMBO, to
               have the SAMBO Combat competition at USA Open, in May . We are looking forward to have Fedor
               Emelianenko, Oleg Taktarov, Bas Rutten, Former Russian President-Vladimir Putin, the DYNAMO
               and other "INTERNATIONAL MMA and COMBAT COMMUNITY" with us. We believe that it would
               help the FIAS and AASF to promote SAMBO and SAMBO Combat in USA and over the world.
 
               DYNAMO's Combat SAMBO team members are: sensei Brezhnev, Justin Brezhnev, Mike
               Cernovich, Jake Marchiafava and Alex Gabbay.  

April 9.  Our newest team photo (minus a few members who weren't here today).  Click here for a high-res file of this photo.
