Where to start

[Cheyne]

I want to start Sambo and Bjj this summer and was wondering where to start, and if there's any videos which would be useful?

Thanks,
Cheyne.

Im just gonna go ahead and guess you have no formal training, If Im not right please correct me. The first rule of learning grappling is positions, you need proper footwork, takedowns, and then submissions. Here is a site that has a lot to offer http://www.expertvillage.com/videos/brazilian-jiu-jitsu-mounted.htm good luck

You can also look at http://www.expertvillage.com/interviews/advanced-sambo.htm. Steve is the head of the US Sambo Assoc and has some top notch videos on the web.

There is also (shameless plug) : http://www.submissions101.com

Good luck!

Have you ever wrestled?

[Cheyne]

Nah not really, been in a few fights but no never wrestled, really want to start learning, would you recommend learning two separate martial arts at once or just sticking to one to start with?
