| Abstract: |
Comparative analysis of weapons of Russian vigilantes and main principles of Russian Fisticuffs and unarmed combat revealed the presence of invariants. Russian man was basis of the system of these invariants. These invariants are high exibility of the body and weapons, allowing to maintain high mobility and do spontaneous, unpredictable movements. Other invariants were symmetry of combat movements and sym-metry of characteristics of weapons, such as helmets and double-edged swords. Performed analysis of production and technological features of weapons of Russian warriors has led to the conclusion that Old Russia had a high level of iron and steel industry 31oriented to production of steel weapons. There were two centers of ancient Russian ferrous metallurgy in Karelia and on the Kerch Peninsula. Russian arms allowed to show and to use the full potential of Russian combat plasticity with high efficiency. Basis of combat plasticity were plasticity of movements in Russian fisticuffs and plasticity of movements in peasant culture in general. |
