В дзюдо он видел основание нового вида борьбы в одежде, обогащённого наиболее эффективными приёмами других видов борьбы. Дзюдо он осваивал под руководством Василия Сергеевича Ощепкова, который во время многолетнего пребывания в Японии тренировался в школе дзюдо Кодокан.”
“Future Sambo players and trainers including Kharlampiev, V. Dudnik, N. Gladkov, and B. Sagatelyan all trained with Oschepkov during this period”
