Dear Friends! Greetings to all the guests of the World Cup in hand-to-hand fighting!

Hand-to-hand combat is a primordially Russian type of martial arts. For centuries, mastering hand-to-hand combat techniques helped our ancestors defend the independence of Russia.

Today it is a popular sport in many countries around the world. The number of fans of hand-to-hand fighting is in the hundreds of thousands of people.

However, like any other form of martial art, hand-to-hand combat is not only a sport. It is a lifestyle, a philosophy, a set of practices that allow you to believe in yourself, temper your will and character, and achieve high results in work and life.

I wish all the athletes beautiful fights and memorable victories, and I wish the spectators unforgettable impressions!

Yu. Trutnev
