North Spirit House Unites People

On September, 4 with the help of Sergey Kirillin, Yakutia's Federal Inspector, the extraordinary event for the officials of force structures – FSB, MIA, State Narcotic Control, Punishment service – took place in the Gen–Sin–Kan hall (North Spirit House).

Officials of law-enforcement bodies took part in the training of Harry Vasnievsky, the British-Polish 7-time world champion in karate, who had come here, being invited by another foreman – Tselestin Tsyukhtsinsky.

Harry Vasnievsky is the founder of a type of karate – TY-GA karate. This struggle style appeared aboard in 1975 and is pointed out by looking more real. British policemen have been using it for a long time already.

Harry is the chief instructor of the British Fightingship Association of Policemen and, having come to Yakutia, accepted a proposal of the general federal inspector to train the officials of law-enforcement bodies. Harry said “I was much surprised by the level of your sportsmen and other foremen should come – to teach and to learn themselves.”

Sergey Kirillin gave Harry a present – Yakut swore-palm tree – as a keepsake.
