Hand–to-hand combat is one of the most difficult and spectacular types of martial arts. It includes a technical Arsenal of almost all types of martial arts. This is a complex sport that consists of two rounds of competition.
The first round – a demonstration of the technique used in standard situations in combat with an unarmed and armed enemy (10-point rating system).
The second round – duels in which it is allowed to apply controlled blows, throws, holds, painful and suffocating receptions in certain positions of fighters.
In the 90s, hand-to-hand combat as a sport became popular not only among the military, but also among the General population. It is distinguished by its entertainment, variety of techniques, actions, validity of the rules and the judging system. The increased interest in it has led to a rapid growth in the number of sections and clubs, an increase in the number of physical culture students and athletes involved in them. This phenomenon is largely due to the fact that the rules and terminology of hand-to-hand combat are deeply rooted in Russian sports theory and practice. Methods of training and competitions are based on the national school of wrestling and Boxing.
