Igor Kurinnoy: Sambo Master
Superb grappling. Incredible palette of techniques, with innovative entries (:28!), well timed footsweeps, and fantastic throws. Love the method of pressing for the omoplata by leveraging against your opponents head at 1:36. The combination at 2:48 is divine. I bow to Sambo Master Igor Kurinnoy.
His accomplishments include:
Merited Master of Sport
Three Time Sambo World Champion
Five Time Sambo World Cup Champion
Director of Borec Sports Club
UPDATE: I’ve been contacted by Mr. Kurinnoy’s good friend and North American representative Gregg Humphreys, and have been invited to be a guest at Igor’s next seminar in Seattle! Can’t wait till July…
Oh…my…God! That dude is a monster. I agree, that kimura is gnarly and the entry into those knee bars is top shelf too. Very cool.
