The Russian President, despite being 62 years old, can still easily defeat a judo master “in a flash”. Mr. Putin was also a judo master when he was young. The Russian President even released a video “Learning judo with Vladimir Putin”.
“As a general in the Polish army, I am happy to face Mr. Putin with all the honor and respect,” said Marek, who has been a judo coach since 1992.
