You've Been Waiting For It And It's Finally Here ... Russian Sand Fighting

By: CombatChaz on Wednesday, August 8, 2012

What's that? You have never heard of Russian sand fighting? Well then, it's a good thing you decided to visit Lockflow.com today, otherwise all the cool kids would be talking about this new breed of MMA fighting and you would have been stuck there, scratching your head, confused.

Russian sand fighting is a complex sport... you need some ropes and some sand.

In this clip make sure you take note that in Russian Sand Fighting, going under the ropes with a front choke while mounted will get you a restart, while going under the ropes while in a triangle will not.

The "Under the rope" rule confuses us and we think they should modify the rule so that every time a fighter goes under the ropes, everyone would have take a shot of vodka. We think that if the heads of the World Russian Sand Fighting Association changed this rule they would get much more support.

In honor of this new rule suggestion, we just took two shots.

Thank you Oleg Goritsin and Vasia Glebov for this cool little fight and in honer of theis greet battel,, wez took tow mor shotz.

I really don't dig the swatzika tats.

Im not a fan of the symbol/tattoo in relation to the Nazism and white supremacism movements either, which I assume is the reason for your disapproval.

Although I dont know what the beliefs of the young man in this video are, I do know that this symbol was around for a long, long time before Adolf Hitler.

If i'm not mistaken the symbol even had some original meaning of something like "To be good". I have even seen it used on churches in asia that have no affiliation what-so-ever to the nazi movement or belief system.

This event has been in St Peterburg. It's the "capital" of Russian neo Nazism. So 100% sure that this guy is one of them.

I do not approve of (neo)nazi ideals either but good on you for taking a non-judgemental approach and knowing that a symbol is just a symbol and not how it has been used whether benevolently or not. if the guy is indeed of a hateful and intolerant mindset then boo on him indeed, hopefully he'll see it's fruitless and ultimately self-defeating path

The swastika has been around long before the Nazis. That being said, those are definitely neo-nazi tats. Why so many Russian youth are into Hitler, when he killed millions of Russians and thought us slavs were a seriously contaminated race, I have no idea.

On a lighter note, I think this is an awesome concept. Someone should organize a beach submission wrestling tournament. ADCC 2013 Malibu!

Russsa always seems to have awesome/odd fighting things going on.

Been beaten and scarred, you'll never break me. I'm born again hard.

The commentating was on par with UFC 1 and 2...

"is he choking him...oh it's a restart, wait no, the ref called the fight without a tap". Then the ref talked bout fighter safety and apologized if he was wrong that the fighter was in danger...
