Quick read

Rafael Fiziev has stated that he does not consider himself a product of the Kyrgyz martial arts school, saying he is self-made. He praised fighters such as Rajabaali and Oralbai as genuine phenomena from the region, while arguing that Valentina Shevchenko's development owed more to coach Pavel Fedotov and years of international training than to Kyrgyz institutions.
