Russian President Vladimir Putin has been awarded the highest rank in taekwondo, the ninth Dan ranking, giving him honorary grandmaster status within the martial art.
Putin, 61, was on a visit to South Korea where he received a ninth-degree black belt from Choue Chung-won, the head of the World Taekwondo Federation.
This award means that Putin has now attained a higher rank than former US martial artist and actor Chuck Norris' eight-degree black belt.
Putin was modest upon receiving the award, stating: "I don't think I have earned such a high Dan."

Then we have our very own Hussein....who has mastered the eighth-degree black belt of bowing to world dictators.

Let’s see him go up against a Muay Thai boxer and see what that belt’s worth.

This all reminds me of the old Saturday Night Live skit “Quien es mas macho?” I’d like to see that with Obama, Putin and, oh I don’t know, how about Angela Merkel?

Only if it’s a 61 y/o Muay Thai boxer.
