Gurkov Jr. went in for sports in his early youth. The boy enrolled in the football section, then switched to basketball and orienteering. At the age of 14, he became interested in the spectacular Vietnamese martial art of vvinam.

A school appeared in Minsk, where the children were taught the varieties of vvinam - viet vo dao. But in the first classes, a 14-year-old teenager managed to fight, which the woman coach did not like. She advised the boy to go to boxing, where “waving hands” is the norm.
