Within the last decade development in our country of oriental martial arts grows. The slogan "movement-life" already became the motto for many, thanks to the masters making the invaluable contribution to improvement of this sport.

One of them - Mukhtar Mirzabayev, the master of sports in karate, ушу and to hand-to-hand fight, the owner of a black belt on dzhit-kuna to, the president of federation on the mixed single combats who kindly agreed to tell about the way of the Master.

- Mukhtar Aliaskarovich, you began sports career in age of 12 years. What promoted your choice?

- When I began, oriental martial arts as those, it wasn't developed. But boxing and fight was developed, I chose boxing. Me pulled to shock equipment, I tried, remained and engaged 2 years, became the champion of the city in the weight.

- Why you, having achieved such success, didn't continue occupation by boxing further?

- Very much it was pleasant to me occupations, but the trainer left, many parted: who to Moscow who where, and it was necessary to leave boxing. After I thought that in boxing hands are good only, but after all we have feet, they too need to be used. Just by then such types of single combats as karate and a kung fu began to enjoy popularity. At first there was a karate: we watched movies, practiced receptions, I became deeper all this to be interested, and after stopped on a kung fu. Now I practice Dzhit-Kuhn Do and Win - Chong - the most acceptable and practical equipment for our mentality.

- Whether it was difficult for you to be reconstructed after boxing, such pretty rough sport, on oriental martial arts which more demand spiritual preparation?

- I wouldn't tell that it was difficult, on the contrary, very interestingly. I as soon as saw movements, right there started them repeating, to perfect, grind. When the soul and a body want it, difficulties are imperceptible. Long training is demanded by basic technicians, and after everything it becomes easy. It as book: you thumb through-thumb through, and the farther, the more deeply, the more interestingly as by means of oriental martial arts you start learning yourself and people around.

- How passed your first years of trainings?

- Will of destiny I met very good master, was trained at him 12 years, he much to that taught me, first of all to development of the internal spirit on what the equipment of a kung fu is based.

- Nevertheless, what was the most difficult?

- Most when you don't know difficult-this with what to begin. In martial arts main-this to understand base. The task of the trainer - to teach bases, and goes self-improvement further.

- Whether you stopped only on single combats?

- No. By means of single combats I learned east medicine. It is interesting that it never comes to an end, the farther, the more interestingly. Naturally, at first the theory, and then only you start treating. Already there are good results, but certainly still much should study.

- Whether really east medicine takes place to be in the modern world?

- Certainly. It sustained centuries-old practice and works, in it there are no doubts.

- Whether there were moments when you wanted to throw everything and how you coped with it?

- Frankly speaking, such wasn't. There were cases when there were difficulties with work: I came tired, on anything any more there was no desire. But nevertheless I took a bag and went to a hall, from where I left already refreshed, without fatigue shadow. I speak to the pupils and schoolgirls, as in east philosophy: "Movement life, not movement illness", it is necessary so to move always, all the time.

- You improve what you are able or you create something the on the basis of your knowledge?

- Till any time you grind a certain equipment, through it have to pass everything, and after already when you realize everything, a choice already behind everyone: to change something, to correct something.

- On what more there is an emphasis in oriental martial arts?

- At first, certainly, physical preparation. As they say the body, spirit and reason have to be uniform. If the body doesn't obey, about spiritual growth out of the question. At first I teach equipment and movements. There is such technique - first of all to learn to operate the body because the reason and soul from it are inseparable.

- With what age it is necessary to begin?

- In general it is necessary to begin since 4 years as children grow, there is a bias on an extension easier, it is easier to teach. Till 12-13 years there is completely a training in physical equipment, and after already spiritual education.

- How you estimate a level of development of oriental martial arts in Kazakhstan?

- Always is to what to aspire. At us there is a lot of good trainers, our level of development now very much even is quite good. That to raise it, it is necessary to bring people up to date, to interest-open schools of single combats, to connect mass media that there were no questions "and whether costs? ", "and whether it is necessary? ". It is necessary to go, it is necessary to try, it is necessary to develop. Everyone will make the choice, but nevertheless we have to show that we can that we are able, what our opportunities to that we can teach.

- And in the conclusion, what you would like to wish to all readers?

- We are engaged neither for the sake of someone, nor for the sake of awards, for the sake of titles. We are engaged for the sake of ourselves, for the sake of the spiritual and physical wellbeing. Therefore I want to wish the main thing health, because all other acquirable.
