The “Koresh” wrestling has its deep roots; along with rituals and traditions, it constitutes the national culture of the Tatar and many Turkic peoples. From time immemorial, in many territories, in places where Tatars live compactly, the folk festival “Sabantuy” took place (saban - plow, plow; tui - wedding. A holiday symbolizing the completion of spring field work), with many different entertainments and “koresh” competitions. The culmination of the holiday was the identification of the batyr Sabantuy.
The Arab traveler Ahmad Ibn Fadlan, who visited Volga Bulgaria in 922, and Abu Hamid al-Garnati, who visited there in 1131, left their records about this folk holiday and about the pahlevan (hero) fighters.
Wrestlers demonstrate technique and form for koresh wrestling
In “Koresh” wrestling, a technique is understood as a purposeful attacking action by a wrestler, during which the opponent breaks away from the mat, and then, as a result of this action, finds himself in a certain position on the mat.
For example, throws with a deflection through the chest in various variations (including stepping behind the opponent’s left or right leg), throws with a throw behind the back, etc. Techniques performed without lifting the opponent off the mat (for example, knocking down, knocking down) are not evaluated.
In “Koresh” wrestling, trips, sweeps, and hooking with legs are completely prohibited, but throws with the legs are allowed.
“Koresh” wrestling is a belt wrestling. Despite this, it is very different from the sport of “belt wrestling” (classical style).
Main differences:
1. The uniform of clothing is different: red, green shirts in koresh and blue, green shirts in belt wrestling.
2. In the “Koresh” wrestling, falls and knockdowns are not evaluated. Techniques with amplitude performed with a separation from the mat are counted. During the technique, knocking with the knee and throws with bait are allowed. In belt wrestling, all kinds of stalling and knocking down are evaluated. Techniques with baiting and kneeing are prohibited.
3. In “Koresh” wrestling, covering is only a defensive (passive) action and is not considered a countermeasure. In belt wrestling, covering is a countermeasure and is assessed positively.
4. In “Koresh” wrestling and belt wrestling, competitions are held in different sports disciplines (weight categories).
