Sanda in Russia

I was just amazed when I saw this. This is apparently sanshou/ sanda in Russia. Not only do they not wear the usual protective gear such as head gear, shin pads and vests BUT they also allow some sort of limited ground fighting! Russians are crazy. They always somehow managed to make a sport more hardcore :). But I like these developments! It makes it more realistic and complete. I would only suggest for knees to be added so it is more complete in stand-up fighting. Sadly I doubt if these developments will be followed in China.
