To celebrate his 56th birthday, Vladimir Putin has released an instructional video on judo. “Let’s Learn Judo with Vladimir Putin” is a collaboration between Putin and Judo experts. Putin is a black belt.

Putin is a one-time Judo champion of St. Petersburg. He mentioned that French President Nicolas Sarkozy  has expressed interest in learning some lessons from him.

On the video, Putin explains some judo philosophy, “In a bout, compromises and concessions are permissible, but only in one case: if it is for victory.”
