"Master class is needed for children!" Khasan Khalmurzaev talks about the training session in the Academy of Martial Arts

The Academy of Martial Arts in Sochi staged the master class for children from judo schools of Sochi and the Republic of Abkhazia.

Khasan Khalmurzaev, the winner of 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, explained how the class had been held.

"Tamerlan Tmenov, our renowned athlete, the Olympic Games prizewinner, invited to such a joint master class. This event is in any case needed for the children, to pass on our experience. Even simply to bring together such famous athletes. This is very charging, this is motivating. Certainly, we try to pass on the most useful information, so that they actually feel themselves more confident, for them to light themselves outright and definitely to start showing great results. I recall myself, I was simply watching and charging, listening attentively and trying to copy everything somehow or learn. This was very interesting."

He also commended conditions in the Academy of Martial Arts in Sirius.

"It is the largest training facility in the world to date. Everything was done at the highest level here. The desire is to remain here, to rest here."
