More Russian Martial Arts

This clip shows more of the empty hand and weapon responses to attacks.  The slow motion footage allows you to see some of the techniques in more detail.  In some instances the techniques closely resemble both Indonesian, Chinese and Filipino martial movement.  This is no surprise if you know anything about the history of Russian Martial Arts - they were a directive to train and assimilate martial knowledge from around the world and bring it "home" to improve the scope of Sambo.
