Russia’s president is known for making speeches and addressing the various issues in his huge country. However, Putin has a somewhat surprising interest and a recent video doing the rounds shows that Russian president and black belt Vladimir Putin trains with the Russian national judo team in Sochi, the city that hosted the 2014 winter Olympics. Putin has actually been interested in martial arts since he was a boy, and during his political career has somehow found time to be awarded the coveted black belt in karate and judo. Putin can name drop too – he is friends with Russian heavyweight wrestler Fedor Emelianenko.
