Farkhad Amankulov

Kazakhstan, Soviet Union

Amankulov Farhad Amenovich was born in Kazakhstan. He started playing sports at the age of 14, although before that he was a rather sickly child. Two years later he became the winner of the All-Union Karate Tournament. During his subsequent sports career, he was awarded many titles and titles. He repeatedly became the champion of Kazakhstan in Wushu Sanda, a prize-winner of the Soviet Union and international tournaments, including tournaments in the Shaolin Monastery. He is an honored coach of Kazakhstan and an international master of sports. He is also the vice-president of the Kazakhstan Thai Boxing Federation. Thanks to his sporting success, he was repeatedly invited to take part in films, both as an actor and to help stage fights. The first films with the participation of Farhad Amankulov were the historical films Baybars and Sultan Baybars, where he played the famous sultan in his youth on the way to his supreme power. Two years later he appeared in the television film Psychic. Here his role was less significant, but Farhad Amankulov took part in staging the fights that unfold on the screen. Another television project to his credit is the film Lotus Strike, where he played “his son-in-law” Farhad, a student of Lotus. In 2005, he and the students of his school took part in the filming of the battle scenes of the famous Nomad. In 2011, Farhad Amankulov’s roles in films were replenished with the image of a tough Kazakh businessman Batyr, on whose land lives a healer who solved the problem of his wife’s infertility. And one crime boss wants to buy this land, but Batyr cannot sell it, because he does not want to deprive the miracle savior of her home. Naturally, a conflict ensues between them, and Baksa’s film again contains scenes of fights both with the participation of Amankulov and fighters from his club.
