The organization is registered in the world sports space and has its own rules. In Ukraine, “Combat self-defense ISO” represents 15 sections of martial arts in light, enhanced and full contact. The Combat self-defense ISO rules make it possible to train, in addition to individual fighters, sports teams and groups that perform combat missions as part of the State Border Service of Ukraine, the SBU, the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine.
The variety of sections for conducting fights allows athletes, military personnel, and law enforcement officers to meet on the tatami and in the ring.
