Buza (Russian: Буза) is a traditional hand-to-hand Russian folkloric fight. It is expressed as a men's dance battle, combining movements similar to the Tropak and Hopak traditional dances with spinning kicks and sweep kicks, some techniques similar to the Brazilian capoeira. The practice includes the use of traditional Russian costumes, traditional musical accompaniment (optional) and sometimes the use of traditional Russian medieval weapons (such as sticks and knives).
Apparently, there are regular full contact competitions between school fighters from different regions.
