One of them is Vasili Oshchepkov, who from an early age was involved in martial arts and studied judo with the best trainers in Japan.

The other is Russo-Japanese War veteran Viktor Spiridonov (Dmitry Pavlenko), who has developed several techniques for self-defense.

Both athletes are the key creators of the national wrestling called Sambo.
