Vladimir Putin Releases Judo Video
The Russian prime minister, Vladimir Putin, last week released an instructional judo DVD to celebrate his 56th 
birthday.
Let’s Learn Judo with Vladimir Putin shows the former president, who is a black belt and former judo champion in his home city, St Petersburg, throwing opponents.
The DVD is a collaboration between Putin and other Judokas including the former Olympic champion Yasuhiro Yamashita.
The video also shows the prime minister discussing the history and philosophy of the sport.
Last month, Putin told a French newspaper that the French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, contemplated taking judo lessons, saying: “We have decided to do some training together.”
