MigBuster 2,884 Posted February 16, 2014 Russian President Vladimir Putin has been awarded the highest rank in taekwondo, it is reported. While on a visit to South Korea, he received a ninth-degree black belt from Choue Chung-won, president of the World Taekwondo Federation, Russia's ITAR-TASS news agency reports. The Russian president has now eclipsed the likes of martial artist and actor Chuck Norris, who is reported to have an eighth-degree black belt in taekwondo. Vladimir Putin somewhat modestly said of the high distinction: "I'm not sure if I deserve this". He went on to suggest that the event be seen as a promotion of "this beautiful martial art". This isn't the first martial arts achievement by the Russian president, who also has a black belt in judo. He was also reported to have released a martial arts DVD called Let's Learn Judo with Vladimir Putin. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-news-from-elsewhere-24925270 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EDIT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4yk7rHFWvY Apparently somebody already thought of it, somehow Edited February 16, 2014 by macelena Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
