This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

A true story about a man who created a system of self-defense basing on martial arts practices of different eastern nationalities inhabiting territory of the former Soviet Union. Known as SAMBO (abbreviation of Self-Defense Without Weapons) this system became on of the most effective military, police and special forces mandatory part of education. Many original techniques are demonstrated. Perfect to those who are interested in martial arts history.
