When? Russian President Vladimir Putin hits the Judo mat it means serious business. The 66-year-old Putin trained with 2016 Olympic bronze medal winner Natalia Kuzyutina during a session in Sochi.
The 90-second video shows the Russian President doing flips as he warms up with the rest of the class. He very deftly puts everybody down to the mat one by one, flashing his judo expertise.
The only person who was able to take Putin down was, of course, Natalia Kuziutina.
Russian newspaper Moskovsky Komsomolets reported, 'Natalia kept going on and on and finally managed to throw Vladimir Putin over her head'. According to the same report, Putin wasn't upset about his defeat and kissed her head after their little stint.
Putin is known to love the sport and has been seen doing everything from playing ice hockey to riding a horse!?
