Ya, Combat Sambo. Which Iam sure the Emelienenko's are trained in.

Samba is even more DEADLY than Fedor and CroCop in the same alley!:D

Wrestlingfied Judo...LOL:D funny

Now for the hard part for you, because this may require some thinking as opposed to just rehashing some meanings...

So TAO, define internal and external and see if everyone here agrees with what that is.
