I've found 1 full fight (but it's Russian). Fight starts at 2:20.
Looks more like SAMBO-based Sanda or Daido Juku instead of looking like Combat SAMBO.

Meh, this is about as far as I got:

Narrator:
Army hand-to-hand combat.
Unique >word that implies ancestral< full contact sparring, which include various strikes with both hands and feet, as well as combat techniques (probably implying grappling techniques.)

0:11
The date of birth of ARB (acronym for Army Hand-to-Hand Combat) is considered 1979, when they had the first ever championship of the Paratrooper units. Until '94, ARB was a viable sport form.Competition took place only among the military.

0:32
ARB was the first to implement defensive equipment: a ribbed helmet, gloves, a padded jacket, and >either cup or mouth guard... Im unfamiliar with this term, which literally is translated to "sink."< This allows the competitors to attack full contact while maintaining injuries to a minimum.

Ow damn, first clip of Zendokan the guy at 1:39 gets a clean highkick to the face and still manages to get the takedown, impressive.

[Neo Sigma]

The drop seoi nage headspike at 3:18 in the first video is brutal. Awesome, but brutal.

I am noticing a new style of Russian striking developing. For a long time I saw the Russian style of looping punches ex: Fedor, Vovchanchen, etc. that was very effective. These guys appear to have straighter punches in a more traditional boxing style.

Both are effective - it is just interesting to see the changes in style over time.

Again, mostly due to tunnel vision from all the hootch.
