Now Oleinik - three times world champion in various promoters, a bright representative of MMA (Mixed Martial Arts), the best fighter in the parter.Childhood and youth
Alexey Alekseevich Oleinik was born on June 20, 1977 in Kharkov. About the early period of the biography of the future champion knows a little. The boy's thrust for sports manifested itself since childhood: he trained home independently with dumbbells, ran, pressed and swing the press. Showed interest in martial arts so that in the event of trouble to defend himself and help another:
"I wanted to be strong all the time, but mostly for me not offended."
None in the same section - Karate, Taekwondo, judo - the boy did not delay. Alexey did not like the approach of coaches who scolded and punished, if in the heat of battle the rivals accidentally cling to each other with their elbows or beat too much. The awareness of the future profession came to a boa in youth, on the 2nd course of the Kharkov University of internal affairs. On September 6, 1996, the fighter crossed the threshold of the legendary clan Minamoto - Sections on Japanese Jiu-Jitsu.
The story of the occurrence of Clan Alexey Oleinik once told in an interview. In the XI century, two clans, Taira and Minamoto ruled in the country of the rising sun, and they entered the battle. Despite the numerical superiority, Tyra played Minamoto, and the leader of the winners, Eitomo Minamoto, became the first military ruler of Japan. He is considered a Jiu-Jitsu's sonlock. Over the centuries, this martial art was transmitted from Sensei to Sensei. After 900 years, Jiu-Jitsu came to Kharkov.
In November 1996, Oleinik spoke at the first in the life of battles without rules and won a confident victory over the three experienced fighters, taking advantage of the suffocation at the back of the rear.
Sensei Kharkov clan Gennady Minka saw potential in the young guy and began to prepare him to debut international battle - IAFC (Absolute Fighting Championship 2).

Conquered the 3rd place in the weight of 85 kg, the boa realized that he was waiting for his career fighter.

According to Alexey's personal confessions, it was useful to get acquainted with Igor Vs. - Kickboxer, a mixed style fighter. Then the boa weighed 85 kg, and the opponent - one and a half times more, "it was like a big bear and a little pit bull." They fought without stopping, once setting up a sparring for 100 minutes.
In March 1998, Gennady Minka organized the Tournament "Challenge: Clan Minamoto against the World Methods" - the second important battle in Oleinik's sports career.

But when "appeared" the second hand, the feeling was that you can twice the more - and beat, and fight, and defend, "said Oleinik about those days.At the tournament, the Break shrewd with the American Clarence Tetche and sent him to Nokdown. Clan Minamoto won over invited martial arts stars with a score of 5: 1. No victims were: in the third battle from excessive aggressiveness of the opponent, Douglas Daj died, the representative of the clan Grassi. As Oleinik recalls, the death pause was preceded by the theater pause, during which the girl model serving the battle was put into the octave rose and went into the darkness in the coffin silence.
