Biography
Vladimir Sharkansky was born in Chisinau. At the age of 13, he fell into the freestyle wrestling section under the guidance of Andrei Andreyevich Doga . A year later, Doga changed direction and began to teach sambo and Sharkansky followed him. Just a few years later, 16-year-old Vladimir became a master of sports in sambo.
After drafting into the army, Vladimir got into the CSKA sports company where he continued training under the leadership of the grandees of Soviet sambo and judo Zvyagintsev , Mishchenko , Stepanov . At one of the championships of the USSR, Sharkansky was noted with a diploma as the most technical fighter of the championship. At the end of military service, the leadership of CSKA invited Sharkansky to stay and play for the army’s sport club.
Despite the coaxing of the coaches, Vladimir decided to return to his native Chisinau. Returning home, he began to work as a tener.
In the late seventies in the USSR, it was decided to allow Jews to emigrate. Together with his parents and sister, Vladimir Sharkansky ended up first in Italy and then in the USA.
In Brooklyn, on Brighton Beach, Vladimir Sharkansky opened a judo wrestling hall called Olympic (later Brighton Judo), where he trained children, youths and adults for many years.
