“Over the entire period of the development of civilization and the improvement of technical means, mankind was faced with conflicts that were resolved in close combat. I personally had to participate in hand-to-hand combat during the Soviet-Chinese conflict on Damansky Island, and then, as the commander of Alpha, to improve the techniques and methods of close combat. Due to the versatility of the approaches, the outlined SBOR methods are suitable both for professionals of special units for training combat skills, and for people of peaceful professions to improve their spirit, mind and body."

The hero of the USSR,

First commander of the Alpha group

Major General V.D. BUBENIN
