Brief introduction of Kazakh wrestling

Kazakhs like wrestling during the Spring Festival. When wrestling, the wrestler's legs are put in his own sack, so the legs are useless and can only be used to keep his body balanced. Competitors can only compete with their upper limbs. This kind of activity is full of fun and makes people laugh.

Wrestling is the most common folk entertainment in Kazakh traditional sports, which is deeply loved by Kazaks. Whenever someone holds a wedding, circumcision or anniversary sacrifice, wrestling will be held. In the past, wrestling was mostly carried out between tribes, and which tribe won the honor. The winner gets a prize, including a backpack, a horse and so on. It is said that most of the heroes in Kazakh history are wrestling masters.
