ABOUT ANDREY KOCHERGIN

Andrey Kochergin (http://www.koicombat.org/) is a founder and ideological inspirer of Russian karate school “Koi no takinobori ryu”. Koi no takinobori ryu is a modern direction of the full-contact karate which uses a wide arsenal of technical and tactical techniques for victory. The basic difference from traditional karate schools is in the original, extremely rigid methods of training which are used for the full realisation of one’s individual abilities.

As a writer, Kochergin achieved success after publishing a number of books about manliness, bravery, behavior in extreme situations, such as “Абсолютная беспощадность… к себе”, “Как закалялась сталь 2 и 0.5“ and the most famous “Мужик с топором“. The latter became the bestselling book in Russia in 2010.

In particular, Andrey Kochergin is renowned for his seminars and master classes on self-defence and applied psychology. Andrey Kochergin is Orthodox Christian. He actively expresses his religious views.
