What is Green Hill Sports?
Green Hill Sports is a Russian sporting goods manufacturer that has operated in the combat sports space for decades. The brand's equipment has been used at FIAS World Championships and has been adopted by Russian national teams across multiple combat sports disciplines. Russia's extended dominance in international sambo competition has meant that equipment from brands supplying Russian national programmes has been tested at the highest level of the sport repeatedly.
Green Hill's catalogue covers sambo, boxing, MMA, and judo equipment. The brand's FIAS-approved sambo gear sits alongside training equipment built to the same competition standards. For athletes who want equipment with direct ties to Russia's combat sports infrastructure, Green Hill offers that provenance.
The Union of Russia MMA Collection
The Union of Russia collection is Green Hill's national team-inspired MMA range, built around the Russian national MMA team identity. The rashguard and MMA shorts carry the "Union of Russia" designation, reflecting the brand's national team associations.
The collection is designed for athletes who train Russian-style MMA: grappling-heavy, with a heavy emphasis on takedowns, clinch control, and ground positioning over pure striking. The rashguard and shorts are built to perform through the high-grip, high-friction demands of sambo-based training, not just stand-up work.

Green Hill's FIAS sambo gear
Alongside the MMA collection, Green Hill produces FIAS-approved sambo equipment for competition athletes. The Green Hill FIAS Sambo Jacket is competition-legal at FIAS sanctioned events and is used by athletes competing at national and international levels. The Green Hill Junior Sambo Suit covers younger athletes with a complete starter kit.
The Green Hill sambo jacket is priced at A$139.99, making it one of the most accessible FIAS-approved competition jackets available. For athletes looking to build a full Green Hill sambo kit, the jacket pairs with DSI sambo shoes and shorts to form a complete legal kit.

How Green Hill compares to other MMA brands
| Factor | Green Hill | General MMA brands |
|---|---|---|
| Market origin | Russia (sambo-first) | USA, UK, Thailand (striking-first) |
| FIAS approved sambo gear | Yes | Rarely |
| MMA rashguard design | Built for grappling-heavy training | Often striking-oriented graphics and lighter fabric |
| National team association | Russian national MMA and sambo teams | Varies by brand |
| Best for | Sambo athletes transitioning to MMA training | Striking-focused MMA or general training |
For athletes with a sambo or wrestling base who are expanding into MMA training, Green Hill's equipment is designed around the same grappling-first philosophy they already train in. The gear performs in the situations those athletes train most frequently.
