Oleg Taktarov was born in Russia, and arrives in the U.S. with the dream of becoming an actor. He is discovered thanks to the quality of his fighting, and today, besides his fights, he can also be seen on the silver screen, in films such as “15 minutes” with Robert De Niro, or “Benjamin Gates” with Nicolas Gages, and “Rollerball”, “Bad Boys II”... Oleg never stops training, and with training sessions all over the planet, you can seriously realize the huge quality of the character and of his work.

Hervé Gheldman, partner of Oleg in this vidéo, was born in Paris of Slav descent. World Champion of Amateur Sambo Fighting, he assists and represents Oleg Taktarov in Europe. Hervé discovers Sambo in 1985, and will pass every certificate at the Moscow Sports Academy, and in Ktsovo, the Sambo and Judo University.

His amazing career, being a student and the assistant of David RUDMAN, Oleg TAKTAROV & Igor YAKIMOV, makes him an international expert.

In this first opus, Oleg wanted to share his Sambo, a universal Sambo meant for any fighting style. He demonstrates the techniques he used during his fights, but also techniques specific to self defense, to police forces work... It starts with a warm up sequence, then goes on with throws, explanations of the immobilizations and of the locks, ankles-legs-arms-wrists locks techniques, various chokes, triangle techniques, and within the guard, combinations standing-ground with immobilizations and the film ends with ground defense with release of immobilizations.
