CombatSombo is based on the original idea of Russian Sambo (Self defence without weapons). Which was taught to the Soviet Military in the 1930’s. This is a military system designed to train soldiers for the battlefield not the street. The concept was to dispatch your opponent as quickly as possible and incapacitate them as quickly as possible hence the limited time on the floor.
