| I remember seeing some TV coverage of President of Russia, Vladmir Putin, as an avid practioner of Judo. Amazing. Martial Arts have no political boundary.
Little bio on him I found on internet.
Mr Putin has good command of English and German and he is fond of sports, especially wrestling. He has been going in for sambo (a Russian style of self-defence) and judo since the age of 11. He won the sambo championships of St Petersburg many times and became Master of Sports first in sambo and later in judo. Putin doesn't smoke and he is not an excessive drinker. |
