""A lot of people have no clue," Artur told Red Corner MMA. "They think we were born in a golden cradle... We could also tell a lot of things about the way we used to live. But why? I think all of us went through this stage of our lives when we were younger. We didn't even have wrestling shoes. Like at all. We lived in the countryside back then, in a sort of a 'ghetto'. So when we would go into city and see wrestlers with Asics shoes, it had a 'wow' effect on us.""
""Shara Bullet" claims to have stolen aluminium as a child to afford training gear, alluding to Tsarukyan having a comfortable childhood."
Arman Tsarukyan's family experienced significant hardship after moving from Georgia to Russia. The family lived in a rural, impoverished area described as a 'ghetto' and could not afford wrestling shoes during the brothers' youth. The brothers were struck by the contrast when they saw city wrestlers wearing Asics shoes. Rival Sharabutdin Magomedov suggested Tsarukyan had a comfortable upbringing, claiming to have stolen aluminum as a child to buy gear. Artur Tsarukyan clarified that the family's fortunes changed only after their father succeeded in the construction business, and he prefers not to flaunt past hardships.
