Russian Rolling Elbow Block.

Hey Ken,

No problem on the info.

I have a tape on old Russian pugilism arriving sometime next week so
I'll know more about it then. (Sonnon's Fisticuffs)

We are on a grappling cycle at the moment which means it will be a
few weeks before I can study the Russian in a practical sense, but
when I do, I will post my thoughts on the subject.
Cheers,
Stu.
