What martial art is generally taught to Russian conscript soldiers? Is this art similar to what Vlad and Scott are teaching? I am also wondering if this art is technique oriented like Krav Maga.

It's worth noting that sport sambo and boxing are popular pastimes, although not actually part of the syllabus.
General soldiers - and especially conscripts - are not expected to be without their rifle and bayonet at any time; it would be a waste of time and money giving HTH lessons when they could be down at the rifle range or in the gym.
Thanks for your replies. Is there someone who is versed in the military form of Sambo? Would this be as good as Systema?

Where it changes is in GRU (Main Intelligence directorate) and FSB (used to be KGB) SPetsnaz.
