The description of any type of martial arts in the DOA wiki: this is some type of martial arts, here's a short description of what it does and its history

The description of sambo in the DOA wiki: if you ever find yourself before a sambo fighter you better beg for your fucking life

#m #'sambo leaves no room for mercy' like whats up with this narrativization #literally you dont see this kind of tone in any other fighting style #every other martial art is normal but when the scary evil communist russians do it suddenly it's a 'cold mechanical martial art'#and the 'constant struggle between life and death'#and bringing up that if you use excessive force in self-defense you get sent to prison which yeah i fucking hope so?#this whole ass paragraph is so useless but they still put it because russians are scary am i right #like fr!!!!! something really stupid happens in people's minds when they hear the word russian #and suddenly everything is put through the 'russians are evil and weird and fucked up' filter #i went to youtube to see examples of sambo and a lot of videos were like 'the LETHAL AND VIOLENT russian SAMBO'#girl its a military fighting style it's supposed to be lethal #not to mention that it has a non-lethal and more popular version for competitions and that other fighting styles can also kill people?#anyway im rambling but yeah this is hella weird
