SYNOPSIS: Chita, Siberia. It's minus twelve degrees Fahrenheit, and the city square glistens with magnificent ice sculptures and bright faces of scampering children playing with sleds. Bundled in their heaviest winter clothing, this happy horde of Russian youngsters seems totally oblivious to the freezing temperatures. But just a stone's throw away, in the warmth of the local sports center, another group of kids is just as happily anticipating their event. For here, under the watchful eyes of coaches, parents, and pals - dozens of boys ages 10 - 15, are getting ready to compete in the Chita Regional Wrestling Championships. This handsome array of young grapplers is ready to rumble, and once weigh-ins and warm-ups are out of the way, it's to the mat. And don't ever let their angelic young faces fool you, these muscle boys mean business. In on-camera interviews, each expresses his determination to come out on top in each event. The action is non-stop, rough and tumble - with deftly executed holds and pins - proving that each of these awesome athletes is a champion, and every one proud to be known as a Little Warrior.

EDITORIAL REVIEW:  On disc 1 we meet several of the boys while they "weigh-in" during registration, stretch and then some brief filming during the first day of competition. We also have a few one-on-one interviews with a few of the boys after their competition. On disc 2 we follow the second day of competition and meet Ruslan, a 15-year-old sleek-muscled competitor with only winning on his mind! Over 150 minutes packed into this great 2-disc set! Lot's of action and plenty of bonus features. This is an older release from 2000 restored to DVD. The picture quality isn't as stellar as many of the other Baikal Films and so we have reduced our price to reflect that.
