PUTIN SHOWED HIM ONE MOVE... SECONDS LATER, THE COACH WAS ON THE MAT

On January 24, 2012, during a visit to a judo center in Kemerovo, Vladimir Putin walked over to a young athlete and showed him how to use a technique against a much bigger opponent. The boy carefully copied the move — and just seconds later, he managed to throw the adult training partner onto the mat. Putin has practiced judo since he was young and has decades of experience in the sport. His former coach, Anatoly Rakhlin, said Putin started training as a teenager and was especially good at using technique against larger opponents. #putin #judo
