As part of promoting a healthy lifestyle, the Department of the Penal Correction System for the North Kazakhstan Region organized a sports master class for its employees. The event was attended by outstanding athletes of the region — 2025 World Boxing Champion Natalia Bogdanova, her coach, Honored Master of Sports Dastan Kabdelov, and five-time Kickboxing World Cup Champion Aslan Asylbekov.

A total of 25 employees from the department and its subordinate institutions took part in the master class. The guests not only shared their sports journeys but also conducted a practical session: participants performed warm-up exercises under the guidance of the champions, learned the basic techniques of boxing and kickboxing, and practiced strikes and defensive movements.

Natalia Bogdanova won the title of World Boxing Champion in 2025, becoming the first athlete from the North Kazakhstan Region to achieve such an outstanding result. Her victory marked a historic milestone for the entire region. Her coach, Dastan Kabdelov, holds the title of Honored Master of Sports and has trained athletes of international level, including champions of Kazakhstan, Asia, and the world.

Aslan Asylbekov is a five-time Kickboxing World Cup winner and a multiple champion of international tournaments, known for his perseverance and strong athletic character.

“This event inspired us to take up sports and look at physical activity from a new perspective. Working side by side with world champions is an incredible motivation!” — shared one of the participants.

At the end of the event, the guests wished all employees good health, determination, and confidence in their abilities.
“The most important thing is not to stop. Victory begins with small steps — with the desire to be better than you were yesterday,” emphasized Natalia Bogdanova.

The master class became not just a sports event but also a vivid example of how sport unites people, strengthens team spirit, and helps maintain good health.
