Grappling represents a combination of sambo, judo, the Brazilian ju-jitsu and Greco-Roman wrestling. Fight goes to a clear victory that is while the opponent himself won't give up. Winners and prize-winners of the Russian and world competitions took part in open training and demonstration performances on a grappling and adjacent sports.

According to the executive director of federation of a grappling Ivan Ivanov, promotion of this sport among inhabitants of Elista became their main goal.
