Our Federation offers various training programs, and co-operation in promoting RAF worldwide. Please e-mail us for enquiries.

Custom RAF Seminars in Saratov, Russia

The program of the RAF Seminars is designed according to:

• the fighting background of the students
• their physical condition
• their fields of interest in fighting technique.

The material for the RAF Seminars is selected to form an integral program in the chosen RAF discipline (disciplines) comprising:

• Special gymnastic work out
• Preparatory exercises
• Relevant combat games and lessons
• Base and advanced technique.

Any seminar will comprise different kinds of sparring (with an instructor, with other students of the seminar, and with local RAF practitioners), and the course of special combat psycho-physiological training.

All the seminars will be held by RAF Founders, mostly by Maxim Shatunov.

The training will take place in the specialised gym and in the forest as well. The students will take part in one or two regular trainings of the Saratov RAF group.

According to the physical condition of the students, the training will take from 5 to 8 hours per day. The usual duration of the seminar is 5 days at least.

All the training and especially the technique demonstrations will be filmed to make a video chronicle of the seminar that will be given to all the participants. At the end of the seminar, the Instructor will give the students the homework that will be filmed as well.

The interpretation to English will be provided.

Basic medical attendance will by provided by the professional sport therapist.

The conditions of lodging are dependant on the demands of the group. In any way, all the participants of the seminars will be provided with adequate housing and board.

In the evenings sauna and professional sport massage will be provided in order to recover from the fatigue. In the summer time bathing in Volga River and lakes will be possible.

According to the wishes and physical and technical abilities of the students, RAF Beginner and Sport Level Instructorship qualification during Seminars is possible.

Individual RAF Training in Saratov, Russia

The program and the conditions of the individual training are similar to the above.

Custom RAF Seminars and Individual Training by Maxim Shatunov abroad

To organise a seminar abroad there should be a local initiator, who would gather a group (individual training is also possible), rent a gym and/or find relevant places for open air training. The program of such seminars is similar to the above. Assistant instructor fluent in English can follow Maxim Shatunov in case the local interpreter is difficult to be found.

Opening RAF Clubs abroad

You can not only pass RAF training, you can become a leader of the RAF Club in your country as well! Of course, to do that you have to qualify as the RAF Sport Level Instructor first.

It is important to note, that foreign RAF clubs are not obliged to master all eight RAF disciplines — your club could, for example, concentrate on hand-to-hand fighting and wrestling.

Operating a RAF Club in your country, you will be supported by the Federation with video materials, consultations and regular Seminars held by RAF Founders in your club.

We have special prices for students from Slavic countries, or for Slavic people living in any country of the world.
