Biography

Aleksander was born in Stary Oskol, Russia in a family of a teacher, Olga Feodorovna Emelianenko, and a welder, Vladimir Alexandrovich Emelianenko. Aleksander is the third child in the family and has an older sister, Marina, an older brother, Fedor, and a younger brother, Ivan (born 1988). Fedor is the reigning heavyweight champion in PRIDE, while Ivan is currently in training.

Aleksander started martial arts training at a very early age: his older brother, Fedor, often had to babysit him, and since Fedor didn't want to miss his Sambo practice, he took young Aleksander with him. First Aleksander just observed the older kids, but soon he started mimicking their movements and doing pull-ups and push-ups. Aleksander started his formal Sambo training when he joined elementary school, but by that time kids his age were already no match for him. Aleksander’s childhood Sambo coach, Vladimir Mihailovich Voronov, trains him and his older brother to this day.

Aleksander married his wife, Marina, on September 4, 2004.

Aleksander was convicted of armed robbery and served five years in prison, where he received some of his tattoos. The tattoos are a constant source of questions from his fans and journalists. Aleksander explained their meaning in his interview on Fedor’s official websitegg.

Tattoos

  • Right arm: Cathedral with five domes: symbolizes five years of imprisonment.
  • Shoulders: Stars: “symbolize person’s honor and dignity, they mean that one lives according to his traditions and principles”.
  • Right shoulder: cobweb: Aleksander did not explain it’s meaning other than say that contrary to what has been suggested by some, it does not have anything to do with mafia.
  • Left shoulder: Writing in Russian
  • Left forearm: Half cat’s head, half skull: “Homo homini lupus est”, man is a wolf to his fellow-man.
  • Back: Grim Reaper holding a baby: according to Aleksander it’s a tattoo of Holy Mother, and that it means “absolutely nothing”, he just liked the design.
  • Back: "Gott Mit Uns", meaning “God is with us” in German: for Aleksander, it’s a symbol of revival. This tattoo caused a significant controversy, since this slogan was written on belt buckles of Nazi Germany soldiers.
  • Knees: Stars: symbolize that the owner will never be brought to his knees.
  • Pirate tattoo: stands for article 167 of Russian Criminal Code: “armed robbery”.
  • “Luck favors the brave” in German: self-explanatory.
