Rufat was born in the USSR into a military orphanage, he barely recalls life with his parents. At one point he dreamt of being an astronaut but he knew early on that his path was already paved and he would pursue a military career himself. For boys like him, that was their only path to success and Rufat embraced it. What he didn't know at a young age perhaps was how his environment would shape him, how he would grow faster than others his age, how life would expose him to the darkness of war. Before moving to the United States with his now ex-wife, Rufat served in the Army and the Secret Service in Kazakhstan.

For the past 8 year, Rufat Sembinov has been a New York City based ISSA CERTIFIED FITNESS TRAINER. He is experienced in Fitness therapy, Strength and conditioning, Weight loss, Olympic weightlifting, MMA training / Boxing, Post trauma recovery and prevention of future injuries.
