This one goes out to Coach Sonnon and the other grappling aficionados here.

Is MMA Saddle all I need to get started on self-learning Sambo fundamentals through partner work, or are there other canonical materials out there that I should check out? I know Sambo Unleashed is directed more towards the seasoned MMA fighter, so I'm not going to bother with that one for now, but is there a big book or video encyclopedia of Sambo (not necessarily by RMAX) that is worth getting?

Ugh, I've just realised I've gotten my nomenclature all mixed up. I meant to say Mastering the Saddle and Sambo MMA Leg Attacks, respectively.

Start with IOUF for Stand-Up, Mastering the Saddle for Groundwork, and the GTB Reborn for solo prep. If you master those resources, your Sambo will be sublime.
