# Lithuania Bushido Federation

Lithuania Bushido Federation (Lithuanian: Lietuvos Bušido federacija), also known as Bushido Lithuania, is the largest combat sports promotion in Lithuania.
LBF was founded in 1999 with the name Lietuvos Bušido RINGS federacija as the Lithuanian stable-branch of the Japanese promotion RINGS and held its first event in 2000. RINGS fighter Volk Han was influential in starting the promotion.
