The custom of Mongolian wrestling

Mongolian wrestling customs are as follows:

People on the grassland call Mongolian wrestling "Bok" (strong, United and lasting in Mongolian).

Bok's competition form is simple and solemn. According to the Mongolian tradition, the contestants wear a "Zhuodege" (tight half-sleeve vest) made of cowhide or canvas, with bare arms covering their backs. The edge of Zhuode Pavilion is inlaid with copper nails or silver nails, and there is a round silver mirror or the word "Ji" in the middle of the back.

The waist is tied with red, blue and yellow silk, which is called "Tseri Bouguer" (apron). Wear a fat "Banzel" (trousers) and "Banzel" coat made of 32-foot or 16-foot white cloth, a set of trousers embroidered with various animal or flower patterns, and Mongolian boots or riding boots.

The winner's neck is equipped with a "Jiangga" (collar) made of colorful silk. This is a sign of how many times a boxer has won. The more times he wins, the more colorful bars there are on "Jiangga".

The blog competition began with a melodious and passionate hymn of Uzhya. There is no special requirement for the venue, and it can be held on flat grass or land. The contestants waved their strong arms and danced like lions, deer and eagles.

The rules of the game are simple and clear. There is no time limit, and the contestants are regardless of their weight. Landing anywhere above the knee is negative. Boxing requires players' waist and leg movements to coordinate and fully demonstrate their strength and skills in confrontation.
