Alexander Karelin is Distinguished Master of Sport in Graeco-Roman wrestling, a three-time Olympic champion, nine-time world champion, twelve-time European champion, a Deputy of the Russian State Parliament and a Hero of Russia.

Alexander Alexandrovich Karelin
He is the illustrious embodiment of an individual sport- Graeco-Roman wrestling- yet he is positive that there is no greater achievement than teamwork. In politics and in sport the rules are basically the same- to achieve the aim you have to put the interests of the team first; you have to ensure that the actions of everyone involved work in concert.
After the 2007 election campaign the overriding task facing the Stavropol Region branch of the national United Russia political party was to justify the trust placed in it by the people of Stavropol.
“It is vital to form a team of active, responsible people,” says Karelin. “Their goals should not be confined to narrow party
issues. Above all they need to look after the interests of the citizens of Stavropol. They supported us in the elections, placed their hope in the party, and so we do not have the right to cheat them. My motto is “Measure Up”. This is not about teasing the electorate and making promises. We need to explain the need for innovation and reform, and that everything is within our reach if we roll our sleeves up and work to make our lives better.”
One sign of the new approach is the start given to United Russia’s
“Construction of Physical Education and Health Complexes”
programme. Sports centres filled with modern equipment have appeared in Neftekumsk, Krasnogvardeyskoe, Rodnikovskoe in Azgirskiy County, Svetlograd, Kochubeevskoe and Letnyaya Stavka in Turkmenskiy County.
Deputy Alexander Karelin lent his support to these projects because he is convinced that physical education and sport teach
discipline, how to strive for a goal and how to turn a situation to your advantage, and also have a revitalising effect.
No Crisis For Children Another of the noted athlete’s themes is “No Crisis For Children”, since he is always in favour of giving boys and girls the opportunity to realise their potential through sport, art and creativity. With his help the town of Yessentuki was able to obtain streetball equipment; the children’s sports school in Donskoe, Trunovskiy County was allocated a wrestling mat; and the boarding school for disadvantaged children in the village of Kaskadniy, Andropovskiy County received fitness equipment and a running track.
Karelin said, “The gleam in a happy child’s eye can achieve miracles. He will cope with any difficulties he encounters on the path to achieving his particular goal.” His own timetable is as full as ever: lots of trips around the country, meetings with the community and debates on topical issues.
The Novosibirsk boy made good has not forgotten his native town. All the Karelin Fund’s projects continue apace. He even has a role in the Sport Wrestling Federation of Russia. The women’s wrestling Russian Championship held in Stavropol last year is a good illustration of this.
“If children, having seen a colourful competition, later join a sports club and start to do sports, start regularly doing exercise in the morning, that means that our efforts have not been in vain, that the seed has fallen on fertile ground. And any sport is a unit, a team. For the young it is also a good guide and a school of relationships, which will come in useful whether he becomes a champion or finds success and recognition in
another aspect of our multifaceted lives. Days in the life of a deputy
A lot of a deputy’s work consists of dealing with the urgent
personal problems of his fellow citizens- help with moving out of
derelict housing or with receiving land, resolving difficulties with Russian citizenship for refugees from the Caucasus, and much
more besides.
Karelin believes that one of the instruments for improving life in
today’s Russia is community organisations. Their role has increased hugely in recent years. But in the name of greater effectiveness it is essential to open a dialogue, to exchange experience, to plan work together. For this reason Karelin suppported holding a conference entitled “Community Organisations in the South of Russia in the Context of Forming a Civil Society: the History, Problems and Future of Development”.
The conference was held at Stavropol State University.
“A deputy’s position is an opportunity to work to your limit and use your experience on behalf of your fellow citizens,” believes Alexander Karelin. “People are our country’s most important
treasure, and we should give them the chance to be heard.”

This message is about Alexander Zass (Iron Samson as it was called in the West) which I have repeatedly blogged (Iron Samson – the strongest man of the Earth). I trained in his system. Let the strong man I did not (performance is slightly above average), but it worked the system.
Recently found an old video of Alexander Zass, or rather black-and-white newsreels. Watch and make conclusions. In the video, he is older than 50 years, but apparently that is very strong. English origin newsreel Alexander Zass quite logical. Zass lived and died in England. In the USSR, his name was virtually a taboo subject and there were few people know. Only in the late 1980s, the country learned about the Iron Samson after publishing an article by Yuri Shaposhnikov in the journal «Science of Life.» By the way this magazine I have read all of it.

Ritual action first

Initial position – standing up straight with a horizontally elongated in hand at the shoulders with your hands. By adopting it, you need to begin to rotate around its axis, until there are no easy sense of vertigo. This is very important direction of rotation – left to right. In other words, if you stood in the center lying on the floor a large clock face, inverted face-up, it would need to rotate clockwise. Women are turning to the same side. – The overwhelming majority of adults to start a half-dozen times turn around its axis, to feel dizzy. It is recommended to start Lama limited to three turnover. If, after the first ritual action, you’ll need to sit or lie down in order to get rid of dizziness – necessarily follow that the natural demand of your body. During the initial development of the ritual action is very important not to overdo Furthermore, in order to «push the limit of vertigo, you can use techniques that are widely used in practice, dancers and athletes, figure skater. Before you start to rotate, fix the mind on some fixed point straight ahead. Started to turn, do not tear off sight of the point chosen by you, but it would be possible. When the same because of the turning point of the head fixation sight leaves your field of vision, turn his head quickly, ahead of the rotation of the torso, and as soon as possible again «Capture» look your landmark. This method works by using a reference point allows you to push the limit is quite noticeable The maximum speed is at a time, in most cases does not exceed twenty-one.
The ritual act second

2. Immediately after the first ritual act, performed a ritual to the second, which fills the vortices air force, increasing the speed of rotation and giving it stability. Baseline – on its back. It is best to lie on a thick carpet or some other fairly soft and warm litter. – A second ritual act as follows. Vytyanuv hands along the trunk and pushing the palm of your hand with fingers tightly connected to the floor, you’ll need to raise his head, firmly pressing the chin to the sternum. After that – to raise straight leg straight up, while not detach from the floor pan. If you can not just lift their feet straight up, but even more «on» – until the bowl starts to disengage from the floor. Main at the same time – do not bend the legs at the knees. Then slowly lower to the floor head and legs. Relax all your muscles and then repeat the operation again. – In this ritual action is essential to coordinate the movements with breathing. At the outset it is necessary breathe out completely ridding the lungs of air. During the raising of the head and legs should be smooth, but very deep and full breaths while lowering – the same breath. If you are tired and decided to relax a bit between repetitions, try to breathe at the same pace as during the execution of movements. The deeper the breath, the higher the efficiency of practice.
Ritual third operation

3. – The ritual must be performed to the third immediately after the first two. And just as the first and second, it is very simple. The starting position for him is a standing position on his knees. Knees should be at the distance of the width of the pelvis from one another, to the thigh were strictly vertical. Hands with your palms are on the back of the thigh muscles just under the buttocks. – Then tilt the head forward, pushing the chin to the sternum. Zabrasyvaya head back-up, puff out his chest and spine sag back a little through his hands on hips, then back to its original position with the chin against the sternum. A little bit of relaxing, if necessary, repeat all over again. This is the third movement of ritual actions Oka revival. » – Similar to the second ritual action, the third requires strict harmonization movements with the rhythm of breathing. At the very beginning should be made of the same deep and full breath, as in the first. Deflection back, you need to inhale, return to starting position – exhale. The depth of respiration is of great importance, because the breath serves as a link between the physical body movements and direction of air power. Therefore, to breathe in the performance of ritual action Oka revival «must be more fully and deeply. The key is to a full and deep breathing always serves completeness exhale. If exhalation implemented fully, just as inevitably will be a full course of its next breath.
The ritual act fourth

4 – To meet the fourth ritual actions need to sit on the floor, vytyanuv a straight legs with feet placed about shoulder width. Straighten the spine, place the palm of your hand with the serried fingers to the floor on each side of the buttocks. Fingers should be at this forward. Lower the head forward, pushing the chin to the sternum. – Then zaprokinte head as far as possible back-up, and then – to lift the torso forward to a horizontal position. In the final phase of the thigh and torso should be in the same horizontal plane as the tibia and hands – stood upright, as the table legs. Having reached this situation, it is necessary for a few seconds, severely strain every muscle body, and then – to relax and return to its original position with the chin against the chest. Then – repeat all over again. – And here is a key aspect of the breath. First we need to breathe out. Rising and zaprokidyvaya head – to comply with a smooth deep breath. During the tension-hold your breath, and breathe out fully-descending. During the rest between repetitions, to maintain a constant rhythm of breathing.
The ritual act fifth

5. The starting position for him is the emphasis lying prognuvshis. When the body rests on the palm and ball feet. Knees, and pelvis did not relate to sex. Hands are oriented strictly forward in serried together with your fingers. The distance between your hands – slightly wider shoulders. The distance between the soles of the feet – the same. – Begins with the head as far as possible back-up. Then proceed in a situation in which the body resembles an acute angle, apex directed upwards. Simultaneously, the movement of neck presses the head of the chin to the sternum. We try, however, that the legs were straight, and direct your hands and body were in the same plane. Then the body would be as if folded in half in the hip joints. That’s all. Then come back to its original position – the emphasis lying prognuvshis – and start all over again. – After a week of practice it becomes a ritual act in the simplest of the five. When you learn it well, try to return to original position sag back back as much as possible, but not at the limit of fracture in the waist, and spread through the shoulders and the maximum deflection in the breast department. Do not forget, however, that neither the pelvis, or knees touch the floor when it should not. In addition, type of exercise break with maximum voltage of all muscles of the body in the two extreme positions – with a deflection and with the rise in the «corner». – Scheme of breath in the fifth ritual act somewhat unusual. Starting with a full breath in the emphasis lying prognuvshis, you are doing deep as possible, inhaling the «folding» the body in half. So a close similarity of the so-called paradoxical breathing. Returning to the focus lying prognuvshis, you do a full exhalation. Turning to the extreme points for the performance of hard breaks, you are delaying your breath for a few seconds after inhalation, respectively, and after expiration.
