\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMongol Bokh is the traditional wrestling style of Mongolia. Since ancient times, Mongolian wrestling has been widely used in the training of warriors. It also often served as a decisive factor in conflicts between opposing sides. Before a battle began, renowned warriors known for their strength, agility, and bravery would engage in a wrestling match, the outcome of which could determine the fate of the entire confrontation and, in some cases, even prevent the battle from taking place.\n\nAccording to a centuries-old tradition, the number of wrestlers participating in a tournament must not exceed 1,024. Competitions are conducted in nine rounds, known as davaa (\u201cmountain pass\u201d). After each davaa, the losing wrestler is eliminated from the tournament.\n\nWinners of specific stages are awarded honorary titles such as Arslan (\u201cLion\u201d), Zaan (\u201cElephant\u201d), and Nachin (\u201cFalcon\u201d). The highest title, awarded to the wrestler who wins all nine rounds at the national Naadam festival, is Avarga (\u201cChampion\u201d or \u201cGiant\u201d).\n\nBefore each match, wrestlers perform the ritual Devekh dance, which imitates the flight of a bird of prey. The competitors then approach each other and begin the contest, which is conducted exclusively in a standing position.\n\nDuring the match, wrestlers use techniques such as holds and escapes, pulls and pushes to unbalance an opponent, throws (including leg-assisted throws), and trips. Grabbing an opponent\u2019s legs with the hands is permitted.\n\nTo win, a wrestler must force the opponent to touch the ground first with any part of the body above the knee. Wrestling does not continue on the ground. This tradition originates from ancient times, when armies consisted largely of mounted warriors, and a fighter who fell from a horse was often considered defeated or unlikely to survive.\n\nThe most prestigious victory is achieved when the winner throws the opponent onto their back and pins them to the ground with a knee.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
