Military Art of Russian Hand-to-Hand Fighting at a Modern Stage of Development

I see one of the main objectives of military art of Russian hand-to-hand fight development in the creation of opportunities for all the interested people, especially servicemen of Military Forces of Russian Federation, who want to get a qualified training in the field of operations conduct in special conditions. This training is based on a principle of objectivity and conclusiveness which go hand in hand with a creative approach to a problem solving on the level of associations. If to talk about my personal experience the best definition to describe the essence of this approach which comes to my mind will be – synthesis.

My knowledge, abilities and skills don’t work separately when I make a movement – they are united as well as other information that I possess. All my abilities and skills work as one method, one means. But depending on conditions in which I have to act this methods show different scale of intensity. Everything that I have is realized in my actions (especially it becomes evident during a hand-to-hand fighting), and any new thing that I acquire is included into this entirety leaving out nothing.

That is why through understanding of Russian hand-to-hand fighting military art we should aim at acquiring a common method of actions (of all possible and “impossible”, including battle techniques) which should be realized as an ongoing sense-bearing scheme of different reflections of reality of itself and following actualization in accordance with your actions intention, your experience, knowledge, abilities and skills! I see and understand this process as it is through my trainees and me.
