Mikhail Kozitsky, one of the best SAMBO coaches in the USA, was chosen as a mentor, who accepted the invitation to hold the seminar gladly.

It’s nice that it was not just the audience, but really athletes with competitive practice in mixed martial arts, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, grappling and other sports.
