Combat Sambo (Russian: Bojewoje Sambo). Utilized and developed for the military, this is arguably the root of Sambo as it is now known, and includes practice with weapons and disarming techniques.

Competition in combat sambo resembles modern mixed martial arts, and includes extensive forms of striking and grappling.
Judo Master V.S.Oshchepkov and his students I.V.Vasilyev, L.B.Turin, N.M.Galkovsky, B.A.Sagatelyan, P.A.Shkolnikov, S.V.Dashkevich, and others created and promoted SAMBO during the 1920s and 1930s..
