ok it is your body that my hands hurt and i got hit on the had 3 children a few dollars but it is he said getting in but i was lucky my opponent fell over it was lucky for me now i can feel the adrenaline in my blood and i feel good as the vision of. this kind of no holds barred fighting has only a few rules you basically keep on hitting until your opponent can no longer defend himself. kitty and michelle i love has been doing this sport for 2 years is nickname in the ring is the bouncer. here reputation counts fighters want to be known as the toughest the quickest and the best other nicknames include wild latino fearsome farmer mighty migrant there are believed to be tens of thousands of young men who fight line. this or similarly in russia

a sizable fraction of the nearly 9000000 men between 20 and 29 years old. for kids boxing is about more than just a show this old brown was. moved from soccer to no holds barred fighting or about but it's all thought and there's a number. they used to be really crazy about football before the wall of what serving in the army changed me to go to but i got out i wasn't so excited about soccer anymore so i started looking for something else. and after work i couldn't just sit around at home i needed to find an outlet for all my energy. dolling theory so i got into the ring and i won my 1st fight with the bill was sort of the 2nd year old but then the 3rd. kid real recognizes that the show fights are brutal but he says fighting helps him to be a nicer guy in everyday life he claims it can help prevent men from being violent in other contexts at home with their family for example domestic violence is
11:30 am
a huge problem in russia but can boxing really help protect families and society as a home. i'm working with online is that if there is so that those experience an explosion of emotion that we don't you're still going to soccer hooligans with a bad time and so on then there's a thirst on the bones and you know what i we don't hate each other or respect our partner but i'm just like you can when he kicks you in the head you're very good. not just at the prison you don't have to release the tension of the tension of daily life. otherwise you start drinking like some people mention i others turn to drugs not another type i just fade away and die because of the monotony of life in russia or new life so to relax some take a parachute jump in some take to drink in the but when you're in the 3rd kind of i guess but i fought the fight with their fists your opinion. i guess i did it is good. though somebody thought i was good it's so important for the little
11:31 am
ones to eat well there's a. pleasure to see where something is when they don't want to eat you then you don't use them at the beginning they stressed out and have no appetite. but soon they settle and then start the same question then they begin growing into health improves. yes. you know what is yet the some of the children have been spoiled with sweets and how. when they come here they have to eat perrichon city. at 1st they refuse but they have no choice and then they start eating everything but those in action i still. chose to bring useful food is coming. here is your compost. so just sit down. there are.

11:34 am
a 2 day for a year when children from an orphanage come in for an operation we spend the entire time with them on a surgical ward to take care of having to be here sometimes they need just 3 days to recover. but sometimes they stay for 2 months then we visit them every day the worst thing is when they start crying and calling out mama. would just push them we know that from our own children from when we take them to kindergarten and that it wants to stay there. it's heartbreaking to see how they don't want to let me go. just for years. but get ready but i have a trick i distract the kids i say i'm coming the next day i give them something to play with or something sweet to eat. the stuff that you then the nurse comes and i leave. but in the back knew that helps him deal with the separation of car.

up a certified call i started 1st grade back when the school opened for the 1st pupils that was 10 years ago. into this debt according to a large scale survey of young people carried out in 2018 by a russian institute with links to the kremlin most russian children would not. miss their schools what do we call our traditional dwelling. on our as a choose that's right a true and in the middle of the show is a fireplace. 7 out of 10 students surveyed said they didn't like school because they had too few subjects that were useful for their lives another study says that students in russia are more interested in environmentalists topics than in russian politics that's certainly true of their own a contest lena and we'll find out more about her love of nature later. this week. but
11:40 am
1st back to call it the no. 2 amateur fighter kid in china off who faces very different problems in everyday life. this is what his working day looks like. a book with card. kill works in a small mobile phone store in a large shopping mall. these are they're not under the knife here's a. good picture over the focal point of this choice or so. miles of i'm in sales and one of us has to win either me or the customer it's like in the ring. maybe there was water inside. what was going to be for a short circuit will have to change the button how soon will we know. after
11:41 am
it's been changed. a lock on my shoulder but i'm bottle but i'm just a fuck about 1st i worked as a security guard for a month or so there wasn't so great because i was at the other a detail and then i started here 1st only once in awhile then full time but it's been good so far. can you all works 12 hour shifts 5 days a week. does not mean you know transport i have to make a conscious effort to stay calm that's also important in the ring because negative emotions won't do you any good in a fight you know you shouldn't let your feelings take over from what you need to keep you cool of the always so if you. are not on board. here at work i sometimes feel like i'm going to blow a few when too many customers want something i want or when they're difficult but i can let all those emotions out in the ring i want someone out of the grocery store
11:42 am
. and emotions are now the topic at the general middle school in the skins kyra like the one. sam i grew up with that was not the most important thing in the dance is to show our national character you know you got the motor still. you have to look at the audience you know where to look right never down at the floor you current and remember the graceful movements be graceful. and don't forget to look to the side to see who is going where. you got there. and smile do you feel girls have beautiful smile so here we go let's unite yet over.
11:43 am
sure you have to show modesty in the. not everyone was smiling like you know. i like our teachers sometimes they're strict with us but then it's our own fault. the teachers in the school only scold us if we deserve it they're pretty fair. fairness is also of importance here as well a safety kid who is training for his next fight.
11:44 am
think if you're going to have just i have to bandage my fingers otherwise i'll have problems with my hands i can break a finger or just locate one anything could happen it's better to protect myself ahead of time but it is to finish your kid he all comes to this gym twice or 3 times a week but he doesn't have a coach. he. just don't want to spend the money. for him scary new video memory i know that i do some movements incorrectly and it's not a good idea for example when you punch you have to use your whole body to my legs are so untrained and wooden but i can't manage to do it so there's not going to bring them there's actually i should find a real trainer somewhere else is going to let me. know what it is. if you know any street fighting it's usually not the perfect technique to win but your ventile will power in just a few days to deal with take part in the championship final and maybe in his next
11:45 am

share their happiness about their 1st steps fs teeth your 1st words bed is covered the world of the theatre. and it's a world where they are no longer so alone even if it is limited by the 4 walls of a hospital room. this is what i need this constant cuddling why do you. it's like a never ending childhood ideas great she was born you know my duty worsley was about seeing my own children have outgrown that they say mom stop hugging us. i tell it of that kind of attention but i'm not i have so much motherly love inside me and i found an outlet for it this is a win win situation for all of us the children are happy and so you could also look up from where you. are
11:47 am
as. the children of the reindeer herders delight in scenes like this it's part of the traditional life of their parents in the tundra. the tundra biome lies north of the boreal forest the tiger woods there are hardly any trees in the tundra but lots of grass food for the reindeer and lots of room for grazing. at the boarding school the boys practice for a nomadic life with lassos instead of basketball this course is compulsory. and complimentary to the life safety skills course and the weapons trail. in a few days some of the children from the school in the sky out will be hurting reindeer
11:48 am
instead of learning math. it's not a prospect that trills. she likes the tundra but she'd rather see the reindeer in the local museum. she has mixed feelings about her upcoming trip home. in. tuned on what i don't know i'd rather be here than at home. here i have the girls and boys around me that i've grown up with. i'll miss them when i'm at home. i stand there will be strange without them. i'm going to cry. but the time to say goodbye comes anyway. fish for the use all your heart your see the writer dash this he writes.
