Introduction
Special Forces of the MAIN INTELLIGENCE DEPARTMENT of the
General Staff of the Russian (former Soviet) Army (or, in an abbreviated
form, "Spetsnaz GRU") are intended for conducting secret combat operations
at the rear of the enemy. Missions carried out by SPETSNAZ troops
determine special character and basic lines of SPETSNAZ COMBAT
training.
In a combat training of Spetsnaz soldiers a great attention is paid to their
ability to engage in hand-to-hand combat and to use hand-held weapon as
well as various expedients. The main mission of a Spetsnaz fighter in a Close
Combat is to destroy the enemy with any available means as quickly as
possible despite their arms and superior number. The fighter himself should
not be seriously affected, otherwise he could jeopardize the achievement of a
fighting mission by his reconnaissance/sabotage team. That's why the combat
training of a fighter from the Spetsnaz is aimed at gaining a flawless
proficiency in many types of fire arms and cold steel and traditionally a
combat knife is of special importance among them.
Usually a fighter from the Spetsnaz has several knives: knife-bayonet for a
Kalashnikov's submachine-gun (AK-74), combat knife, all-purpose "survival"
knife, all-purpose clasp-knife, hidden knife, and (or) fling knife. If necessary,
any can become an effective weapon.
The basic peculiarity of a knife combat is that it is the combat of short
duration. After fighters have approached a striking distance, the result of a
fight is at stake within fractions of a second; one or two exact lunges and you
win or perish. That's why the main requirement to a fighter from the Spetsnaz

at the initial training stage in knife-combat technique is flawless acquiring of
basic methods up to the automatic level: one has no time to ponder in a fight!
It is necessary to acquire naturalness of method execution through hard
training. You must feel the knife as an extension of your hand. Your
movements must be light and quick, one movement should smoothly
transform into another one.
Peculiar features of a knife combat according to the version of the Spetsnaz
GRU are many withdrawals, jumps, turns, sudden changes in levels and attack
directions (the latter is especially actual in a fight against several enemies),
wide use of feints. And all those are done in continuous motion! It is very
difficult to follow even flutter of the knife in expert' hands, but to foresee the
place at which a strike will be delivered... it is practically impossible.
It is hard to foresee expert's actions during a knife fight, because his stock of
methods is very large. He is in a constant motion, trying to take an
advantageous position for an attack, makes feint lunges, inducing you to
engage. It is not enough to know the knife basic technique in order to
outmatch an experienced enemy. You should be able to unite elements of the
basic technique into fighting combinations ("bunches") and spontaneously use
them in a fight depending on the situation.
Improvisation is important in any fight, in a knife fight as well, but an
impromptu action should base on experience and knowledge. It is impossible
to write without knowing letters. Letters are an element of the basic
technique, words are fighting combinations. Randomly written letters do not
mean a word. Hand-to-hand combat is governed by certain laws based on
biomechanics of the human body and psychology. That's why a fighting
