It is great to see that our coaches, students and friends in Brazil placed the personal interests, politics and anything else aside and got back again on the mat.
A true display of our philosophy: life long martial arts practice!

What an experience! Unfortunately I don’t have the full length of the video neither he took me down. We (the foreigners) got in to fight, all at the same time and the person recording was going back and forth recording everyone at the same time.

Gratitude for these moments as of now I am just trying to beat up time!

One of the highlights of my visit to Kazan, Russia, during the Youth Cooperation Forum was the opportunity to visit the legendary **Kazan Arena**, now known as **Ak Bars Arena**, one of the iconic stadiums of the **2018 FIFA World Cup**.

The stadium hosted six World Cup matches, including the unforgettable quarterfinal between Brazil and Belgium. Standing in a venue that welcomed some of the world’s greatest football players reminded me of how major sporting events can leave a lasting legacy—not only through competition, but also by inspiring future generations and strengthening international cooperation through sport.

During our visit to the stadium museum, they also had a machine that measured the strength of the pulling motion used by a **Kazan Kuresh wrestler**. They told me that I broke the museum record! I am still not completely convinced—I think they were just trying to be nice to their guest. Hahaha!

Thank you to the organizers of the Youth Cooperation Forum for this memorable experience and for introducing us to the remarkable sporting culture, infrastructure, and hospitality of the Republic of Tatarstan.
