One of the main topics of discussion was a summary of the RUMA's activities over the past five years. It was noted that the Russian Union of Martial Arts was established in June 2005 to promote martial arts as a mass sport with significant social significance. Today, the RUMA unites 75 all-Russian sports federations and organizations representing various styles and trends of martial arts and combat sports. The RUMA has branches in 86 regions of Russia, from Kaliningrad to Vladivostok. Branches in three regions are still in the process of being established. In total, over 5 million people in Russia practice martial arts and combat sports.
At the direction of the President of Russia, RUMA established the "Voin" Center for Military-Sports Training and Patriotic Education of Youth. The center was created with the goal of raising a generation of patriots and defenders of Russia. Experienced instructors train young people aged 14–35, including schoolchildren and students, in eight military-applied disciplines. The teaching staff at the regional branches consists of professional instructors. To date, branches of the "Voin" center have opened in 21 regions, and over 100,000 cadets have already completed their training. The Russian Combat Sniping Federation has also been registered in 58 regions through the RUMA branches.
