History
Before the Russian Revolution of 1917 it did not have a unified system of unarmed combat. For this reason, a team of experts was commissioned to develop a combat system for the Russian Army. All economic mechanisms were made available to research and develop the best possible combat system. The team of experts traveled around the world compiling the most effective techniques of the most well-known disciplines at that time, these being: Judo, the Jiu Jitsu, the Boxing, the Savate and free wrestling modalities, which merged together with the indigenous struggles of the USSR, also adding techniques from Olympic disciplines such as Greco-Roman fight, the wrestling and the boxing.

The task of developing and organizing the Russian military in close combat training fell to Kliment Voroshilov, who for his part created the Physical Training Center NKVD, «Dynamo». Voroshilov selected three individuals to carry out the investigation both inside and outside the Soviet Union: Anatolij Jarlampiev, Viktor Spiridonov and Vasiliy Oshchepkov. Each one of them carried out an endemic study of the native combats, to know how in other countries they were spread, and their techniques.
Each of the techniques that were included in the system was carefully studied, considering its merits and its application in combat without weapons. Thus the techniques were refined to achieve the ultimate goal of sambo: To arrest an armed aggressor in the shortest possible time. In this way the best techniques of Judo and Jiujitsu entered the repertoire of sambo.
