Russia has dominated the grappling scene for 50 years now I think, they have produced high ranking champs in Judo, Sambo, Greco Roman, and Free Style Wrestling. Without question, most wrestlers in the U.S., and the rest of the world would almost unanimously agree, the best grapplers in the world are Russian. Now, while Japan has a very strong Judo team, and of course Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was invented in, where else Brazil, Brazil and Japan are only good at a single grappling art. Same with the U.S.; the U.S. has beaten Russia before at Greco Roman and Freestyle, mostly Freestyle, but unlike Russia, the United States has not consistently produced champions in virtually every known style of grappling, whereas Russia has. The only grappling style Russia has not produced champions is, is Shuia Jiao and Indian wrestling. In the World Wrestling tournament of San Francisco, the Russians, even back then, were the most dominant wrestlers until they were stopped by the Great Gama of India. Gama was a beast; the concrete training weights used in India, had to be made specially for him he was so strong.
