Slavic-Goritsky wrestling (SGB) is a national martial art revived by A. Belov. The SGB unites the most diverse traditions of Russian competitive culture, and although it did not exist as a system before, its components – notch, stenoshny, hunting combat and Vlesov wrestling – are real elements of the competitive tradition.
Slavyano-goritsa has absorbed all those grains of ancient Russian warfare that enthusiasts of the revival of the national competitive culture managed to collect in numerous ethnographic expeditions.
In the West, the SGB is known as gorits fighting.
