Topic: Mongolian Wrestling Posted: 29-Apr-2006 at 11:47 |
This thread is about Mongolian Wrestling.
Wrestling is the most national and popular of all Mongol sports. It is the highlight of the Three Manly Games. Historians claim that Mongol-style wrestling originated some seven thousand years ago. Hundreds of wrestlers from different cities and aimags of the country take part in the national wrestling competition. There are no weight categories or age limits. Each wrestler has his own attendant herald. The aim of the sport is to knock one's opponent off balance and throw him down, making him touch the ground with his elbow and knee. The winners are honoured with ancient titles: the winner of the fifth round gets an honorary title of nachin (falcon), of the seventh and eighth rounds zaan (elephant), and of the tenth and eleventh rounds arslan (lion). The wrestler who twice absolute champion is awarded the title ofavarga (Titan). Every subsequent victory at the national Naadam-festival will add an epithet to his avarga title, like "Invicible Titan", "Invincible Titan to be remembered by all" etc. From in 2003 the Mongolian parliament adopted a new law on Naadam, making amendments to some of the wrestling titles. The titles of Garudi and Hartsaga (Hawk) were added to the existing above-mentioned titles.

0000 you sent me this...the rule is simple...only your feet and hands can touch the ground. Any other part of your body touches the ground.... you loose.

Yes Erdene I sent you that video and incase you didn't notice I have included that video in the opening post.
Thanx for telling the rules.I was not aware about them.In Indian freestyle wrestling you have to get the opposing wrestler's back completely to the ground.It is known as 'Charon Khaney Chit' [sound of 'T' is soft].Loose translation would be 'Four Corners to the Ground.'
Traditional Indian Wrestling is fought on Clay.

I don't know alot but I think It's you have to get your opponent on his
back and his shoulders have to touch the ground for a period of time 3
or 10 I thin I forgott and theres only one round no rules accept
punching , biting and stuff
this is al I know and the wrestler are called pehlivans(wrestler) (
it's an persian word I think) and the champion is called baspehlivan
(head wrestler)
