Be gentle, kind and beautiful, yet firm and strong, both mentally and physically.

It is rare and very inspiring that a head of state would make such an investment of time to write a book like this. It is a fine gift to the judokas of the world as well as to those of Russia...Vladimir Putin Sensei and his co-writers have established themselves as gifted writers and contributors to the judo world.

Be Strong, Gentle and Beautiful, in Mind, Body and Spirit.
