Fedor first started training in Sambo and Judo as a youth under Vasiliy Ivanovich Gavrilov and later under his current coach, Vladimir Mihailovich Voronov.

He was, however, a “very persevering child.” Many would love to know Fedor Emelianenko’s training regimen so they could copy it. After all, he is widely considered the best mixed martial arts heavyweight in the world today and possibly in the history of MMA. Well, here’s as much of it as he’s giving out.
