Shturbabin is the son of fencing coach Valery Shturbabin, who currently trains Ukraine's national sabre team.[1] He took up fencing at the age of six. His first major award was a bronze medal at the 2001 Cadet World Championships in Gdańsk, followed by a team bronze medal at the Junior World Championships. He was offered a scholarship by an American college, but he refused as he did not want to move.[1]
