RUSSIAN ALL-ROUND FIGHTING

Russian All-Round Fighting (RAF) is a modern versatile martial art.

RAF is based on Russian and Soviet traditions of hand-to-hand fighting, wrestling and fencing.

RAF is called martial because our training involves full-contact fighting, and its effectiveness is being tested in regular competitions, street fights and combat situations as well.

RAF is a modern system because we prepare for the most common dangers of the modern world. We value historical traditions only because they contain enormous practical experience to work with.

RAF is a versatile martial art because we prepare all-round fighters. Sportsmen are being trained in various disciplines of fencing, wrestling and hand-to-hand fighting.

Different levels and programs of training make RAF open to people of various ages and levels of physical ability.

The Beginner Level of RAF is easy to study and allows for maintaining adequate fighting ability and good physical condition as well.

For those with the competitive drive, we have developed a vast Sport Level, allowing you to practice most of the real fight situations within a sport contest.

The Combat Level is truly considered to be the top of RAF skills. Studying and practicing this level demands a lot from the athlete. But high demands open wide perspectives for the effective real fight.
