Spetsnaz GRU hand-to-hand combat style

Spetsnaz GRU hand-to-hand combat style is a martial art system taught by martial artist Alexander Popov to reconnaissance and saboteur units of the GRU.
The system was developed in the 1920s and 1930s and is taught together with Systema and Combat/Military Sambo but has no relation to them. It is based on Hung Gar style, Shaolin Kung Fu.
The main purpose of the system is to teach the students a close, fast and deadly combat, protecting them while causing harm to their opponent as fast as possible. The system is also concentrated on fighting multiple enemies and training in several weapons - such as various sticks or knives, bayonets, mounted knives, the AK-47, Spetsnaz shovels, dual wielding pistols (Macedonian Style), etc.
