Speech at the award ceremony at the International Professional Combat Sambo Tournament

Vladimir Putin: Strength, courage and noble spirit are what distinguish the fighters standing in the ring at this moment, along with the brotherhood of sports and combat. I say combat, because they are the most vivid example of what martial arts are about.

Thank you guys. Good luck!

<…>

Let me thank our guests here today. Here in Russia, we have always valued and respected men who know how to stand firm to the last.
