From 1999 to 2007 he was a chief coach of national select team of Kazakhstan on taekwondo. In period from 1990 to 1996 he became repeated champion of Kazakhstan, Russia, USSR and international tournaments on taekwondo.

The factors that affected Sultanmakhmut Nokatovich’s decision to deal with promotion of further sport career of Kazakhstan champions at world arena were his accrued experience and understanding of the needs of the sport sector of Kazakhstan. Being a repeated champion of Kazakhstan (1992-1996), Russia (1990-1992), USSR (1990-1991) and international tournaments on taekwondo (Bilbao, Spain - 1991, Yalova, Turkey – 1992 г), having excellent experience of coach work, during which for the first time in history of Kazakhstan a pass to Olympic games 2004 (Athens) was received by his trainee Sagindykov Adilkhan and preparation of sportsmen of Kazakhstan select team was arranged, and having obtained great experience while executing duties as an acting director of Directorate of winter Asian games 2011 under administration of Almaty city, he knows that for effective promotion of Kazakhstan sportsmen in world arena it is necessary that their achievements be known not only to Kazakhstan citizens but also to foreign investors and businesses of sport industry.

Thanks to his experience Shokbytov Sultanmakhmut Nokatovich knows well how many years a professional sportsman invests into development and improvement of his/her sport skills, at the same time the period of recognition of his merits is very short which lasts only as long as a championship’s awarding ceremony.  Then as it is known from the world experience the very sportsmen who have achieved recognition at international level and managed to become the best in sport can be best in everything, and not only in sport but also in business, public administration and any other field in which they are interested. Shokbytov Sultanmakhmut Nokatovich wants the achievements of Kazakhstan sportsmen work for them and reinforce them during their whole lives.

The ability to be the best in everything is an internal quality of champions. This quality has differentiated Shokbytov Sultanmakhmut Nokatovich since his childhood. He won first places at city and republic math competitions, finished a secondary school with golden medal and Tver State University with distinction. During his study at the university he went in for taekwondo actively. Intensive trainings and exercises helped him be included into select team of the oblast and take part in First All-Soviet Union tournament on taekwondo, as a result of which he won the bronze. Due to his first success he managed to be noticed and be included into select team of Russia. As a member of select team of Russia he repeatedly won the title of champion of Russia (1990, 1991, 1992). In 1990 he won the golden medal at the USSR championship, and bronze prize winner of the USSR championship in 1990. The cup of the USSR in 1991 brought him a silver medal. At international tournament in Bilbao (Spain) in 1991 he won the bronze medal.

Of the numerous sport competitions the brightest trace in his memory was seared by his trip to Spain. The reason was not just the winning third place but the inspiration made by Korean team to the young sportsman. Watching the bouts where sportsmen from the country which is recognized as a native land of taekwondo participated, he felt great difference in the levels of mastership and realized that he needed to improve.

At the CIS championship Sultanmakhmut Nokatovich got acquainted with the founders of taekwondo in Kazakhstan, i.e. Mustafa Ozturk and Bekseit Tulkiev.

This was a period when he had to decide whether to stay in Russia or to return to native Kazakhstan. Being a patriot of his country, he made an important decision - to live and act in favor of his native-land. After moving to Kazakhstan in 1992 Sultanmakhmut  Nokatovich as a member of Kazakhstan select team took part in World Championship in New York. Later he participated in International tournament in Yalova (Turkey) and won the golden medal. The period from 1992 to 1996 brought splendid victories at Kazakhstan championships to Sultanmakhmut Shokbytov.

Analyzing the results of championships of different levels and making conclusions, Sultanmakhmut  Nokatovich discovered the reason for most failures of Kazakhstan sportsmen relating to tactical miscalculations and insufficient preparation. Just then a desire to seriously go into preparation of the youth as a professional trainer in order to take the select team of Kazakhstan out to a new level and to present the country decently at world sport arena at the World, Asian and Olympic level championships.

Since 1997 Sultanmakhmut  Nokatovich has been a coach.

As a Chief Coach of national select team on taekwondo he managed to get real state support of taekwondo by persuading the sport administration that this kind of sport needed due attention and financial aid. From 1999 to 2007 the sportsmen achieved significant results, such as: for the first time in history of Kazakhstan a pass to Olympic games 2004 (Athens) was won by Sagindykov Adilkhan, who won 5th place, medals at World championships of 1999 and 2003, Summer Asian games of 1998, 2002, 2006, at 2006 Asian Championship select team of Kazakhstan was recognized as a breakthrough-team by winning 1 golden and 5 bronze medals and surprising by their preparation the representatives from Asia where taekwondo is very developed. For these years the preparation of sportsmen of Kazakhstan select team was systemized, attention and trust from sport administration was increased.

Realizing that for better promotion of Kazakhstan sportsmen and for improvement of Kazakhstan’s image it was necessary to organize an Asian championship on taekwondo in our country, Sultanmakhmut Nokatovich supported by taekwondo federation acted as one of organizing bodies for the Third Asian Championship on taekwondo among juniors in 2005. These were the first official international competitions on taekwondo in Kazakhstan. The tournament had great importance, as for the first time the international refereing got an insight into development of taekwondo in Kazakhstan. At this tournament our sportsmen won one golden, four silver and 10 bronze medals. Of 20 sportsmen 16 became the prize winners and adding confidence for further international competitions. Kazakhstan’s taekwondo received additional impulse and incitement for the development and popularization among youngsters. Since then a whole series of brilliant sportsmen has grown who have achieved high results at international competitions.

In September 2007 Sultanmakhmut Nokatovich was invited to Directorate of Winter Asian games. The work at the directorate opened for him a large image project which is able to promote Kazakhstan sport to a new in terms of quality level. Under Sultanmakhmut Shokbytov’s management of the directorate of Winter Asian games great work was done on preparation of general public for the forthcoming Asian games, propaganda of idea of Asiada, organizational work, coordination of municipal facilities, monitoring, drawing Plans of structural bodies, decoration of the city, organization of various sport and mass events, opening of the countdown indicator, Chef-de mission of Asian Olympic Council, organization of testing competitions.

There is a need in creation of VIP-listing of Kazakhstan’s sportsmen with a data base on all their achievements to make them public honor and available to investors and businessmen in sport industry.
