Sambo

some history

Before the 1917 Russian Revolution it did not have a unified system of unarmed combat. For this reason, a team of experts was commissioned to develop the Army's own combat system. All economic mechanisms were made available to research and develop the best possible combat system. The team of experts traveled the world collecting the most effective techniques of the best-known disciplines at that time, these being: Judo, jiu jitsu, Boxing, Savate and wrestling modalities, which they fused together with the fights indigenous to the USSR, also adding techniques from Olympic disciplines such as Greco-Roman wrestling, wrestling and boxing. Later, at the beginning of the 21st century, the techniques of Muay Thai were integrated. Sambo is considered to have the most detailed information on the evolution of a combat system in the history of humanity.
