Fights without rules, or, more precisely, the commixed martial arts — now one of the most fashionable and popular sports. For much Fedor Emelyanenko and Oleg Taktarov's names, our fellow countryman, with success speaking at world tournaments are known. But if Taktarov left Russia as the sambo wrestler and already then "was reforged" in the commixed fighter, now in Penza started training the athletes ready at once to leave in an octagon.

Taktarov against Emelyanenko

In due time in Russia two federations — the commixed fighting single combats, focused on professional fights, and the commixed martial arts with the emphasis on children's and youthful sports were created.

 "The rival won't escape"

For a debut success, really, tremendous. After all the Penza athletes for the first time left in an octagon. Houses residents of Penza acted only on a boxing ring. However, our martial artists didn't test special shyness.

—  At first feeling that locked you in a cage but as you will be inspected — is much more spacious, than on a ring — Anna Malyukova estimated a situation. 

And Oleg Peterimov philosophically noted that at an octagon one plus and one minus — the rival won't escape anywhere, but also you won't be able to escape from it. With such spirit also took medals.

Newly made prize-winners in the sports hall of the Penza OMON on Nekrasov Street and at high school No. 75 in Krivozerye train. The acting martial artist Gennady Kurganov conducts occupations. He started being engaged in hand-to-hand fight in the society "Dynamo", then trained in boxing club "Aysberg".

While on trainings about 20 people go.  But it only began. 

— For certain, will come still — speaks Barrows — our sport is very popular. We in February held regional competitions — didn't expect that will arrive to so many people — 70 people from Penza, Nizhny Lomova, Kuznetsk sent the whole bus. It is clear that while athletes not with the commixed preparation, and fighters, sambo wrestlers, kickboxers acted.

100 kilograms of beauty and force

Separate words are deserved by the newly made champion of the country Anna Malyukova.  In Moscow area it made the real furor.  The heavyweight girl in the commixed single combats — a rarity.  Therefore the 100-kilogram Penza beauty who is beating high blows by feet and stretching out, used keen interest at trainers. 

— Representatives of the Uzbek federation approached to us even, called it in the national team. Promised good conditions — Alexander Kabanov tells.

But after all really residents of Penza will be able to plunge into the atmosphere of the commixed single combats on May 16 on "Diesel-Arene". At us for the first time will pass large tournament on which there will arrive stars of world level. We wait for a tremendous show.
