Grappling Culture: Mongolia
Grappling Culture: Mongolia First Stop
The brief history Mongolia's Wrestling
The history of Mongolian wrestling dates back to the early days of Genghis Khan. As history says, "[1] Genghis Khan considered wrestling as an important way to keep his army in good shape and ready for combat. "The spirit of combat is very important to Khan dynasty as well as the neighboring Manchu dynasty in China in the early centuries, for example, "[1] The Manchu Dynasty (1646-1911) Imperial Court held regular wrestling events, mainly between Manchu and Mongol wrestlers. "This kind of competition is what sovereign sought to put both systems Test your troops martial arts skills, as in the vain of Genghis Khan ", [1] was a sport Bokhara military primarily intended to provide strength, endurance [,] and training [of] the troops. "([1] Bokhara mean [s] the strength, solidarity [,] and durability in military-military sport, practice and discipline of the men who studied it.)
A historical text by a consignor Finnish called A. Heikel wrote about a great event that included wrestling, that briefly, "[1] A. Heikel of the expedition to Mongolia Finn wrote wrestling competition of the expedition was witnessed during his [10] days in Urga (now Ulan Bator, capital of Mongolia) since July 27 to August 7 1891: "Now [,] was not carried out a week of wrestling between athletes Mongolia. The location was a public square in front of a temple in the city center. Thousands of spectators had gathered all around "…."
This story marks the importance for the style of grappling Bokhara in Mongolia and Manchu neighbors. Moreover, what is the fascination of how and why this art remains attached to the Mongolia socio-cultural point of view. For these men have followed a strict code of conduct and honor code merged in their ability as fighters, what is art martial as the incarnation of the spirit of Mongolia as a people and society, however, how, where and why this is necessary? We will investigate this art martial status conclusive.
The technique known as Mongolia Wrestling (Bokhara)
Bokhara's unique culture has many different styles, labels and rituals cultivate their rich history in Mongolian culture. As the caption reads: "[2] in a occasion a wrestler defeated all the other fighters and opened the jodag (This is a wear clothes during Bokhara not fight in tournaments) to reveal her breasts, showing everyone that she was a woman. From that day, had to reveal jodag wrestler's chest. "The costumes, dances, and all these variations have a powerful ritual significance to the code of ethics of Bokhara in Mongolian culture.
First, Let me start with the different styles [1] Mongolian struggle, which still exist today:
1. Mongolia (the country of Mongolia Tuva and Russia).
2. Buryatia (Buryatia in Russia).
3. Inner Mongolia (northern China).
These different styles Bokhara have combined different techniques to build a single system of Mongolian culture grappling (interior, exterior, and the neighbor to the north of Buryatia). By Moreover, here are the different regions of Mongolia, with specific rules of your combat system:
1. [2] Oirad: It resembles wrestling.
2. [2] and styles Hulunbuir Ujumchin permission does not move between the legs and hands (Hulunbuir A fighter can beat his opponent directly in the leg (s) -. a technique not authorized by the other styles and banned in the official code)
3. [2] Halh variant not only allows but requires grabbing the opponent's legs.
4. [2] Ordos Alagshaa / shalbur and Oirad wrestlers begin a match with the two opponents locked.
5. [2] Ujumchin, Khalkha (Halh) and Hulunbuir Styles start a fight without physical contact.
These different regions are different rules in the contest of attack, but includes with each competition is a label to invest in the unique brand of Bokhara. Let me start with the same parties that exist in festivals, competitions, and the tournament, which matches always start when "[2] one of the defining features of Bokhara is a dance perform fighters to enter the competition field and exit at the end. "This dance has meaning to the spirit and the physiology of the competition, as one may want to show respect for nature and his opponent for warming up your muscles before kickoff.
href = "http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_T-DYyRYFTk0/TF-ipYecioI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/mPrOHBfSBcs/s1600/mongol9.jpg">
This "dance" style, I mean, Mongolia is the basis of Bokhara parties also varies in different regions animals, in which imitated in dances, for example, "[2]
Mongolia the wrestler imitates falcons or "Phoenix" off (debeh) in Inner Mongolia, the dance is supposed to be an imitation of lions or tigers prancing (magshih) – as represented by the Üjümchin version. These dances are venerated with great respect for the competitor to maintain great respect for the shamanic practices of the dancers performing ritual dances in seances, etc
Thereafter, the label attached to Bokhara is a basic part of a system of behavior. The result would be that someone has lost his party and the proper etiquette for the competitor who wins is to help his opponent up, have your opponent on foot under the arm, hit his opponent in the back and then performs a "dance" in celebration of his victory. That means a victory or defeat an adversary is different in different regions of Mongolia are Bokhara rules such as:
1. [2] Oirad in Xinjiang (Eastern Turkestan) defines a fall as the shoulders off the ground, which is similar to the style wrestling free Turkish and international.
2. [2] The Inner Mongol style, however, considers a drop that has occurred as soon as any part of the body above the knee (or ankle) touches the ground. (In Inner Mongolia [,] this rule is shared by Hulunbuir, Ordos and Alagshaa / Shalbur styles.)
3. [2] Khalkha (Halh) variant, on the other hand, allows a hand to touch the ground without losing a match.
The other attribute is unique to Bokhara the costumes worn by competitors. Costumes
by competitors dictate the region are and the style that you are fighting in early, I discussed the legend that tells a woman won the tournament, and reveal her womb by tearing his jodag due to the fact, Bokhara is a man's sport in Mongolia have been redesigned jodag clothing to enjoy the breast of the male competitors.
The following are some of the costumes worn by competitors Bokhara:
1. Zodag (jodag): A tight, collarless, heavy-duty short-sleeved jacket color red or blue. Traditionally made of wool, modern wrestlers have changed to looser materials such as cotton and silk. The front is open, but tied back in a knot simple chain, thus exposing the wrestler's chest. (The new design influenced by the legend of the only woman to win the tournament, although it is a possibility that there may have been other who participated, fought and won)
2. Shuudag: Small, tight cotton pants, red or blue. This makes the more mobile fighter. Also keep an easy opponent to take advantage of pants or to prevent the material travel a.
3 Gutal:. Leather boots, either in the traditional style (with feet slightly up), or the style of doing business in the West. The traditional style of [the] gutal are often reinforced by the sides with leather strings to wrestling.
Also note, one of the ethical standards that all Mongolia fighters meet competition is a basic-gesture when "[2] a fighter's clothes become loose or entangled, his opponent is expected to stop attacking and help the old to make arrangements for them, even though it may mean giving up a chance to win well. "
What is the infrastructure of Bokhara
The competition rules in Bokhara are basic, with an emphasis on patience, courage, ability, modesty, aggression, and superior strength, all equipped to defeat an opponent. There are many accolades that follow when you are a champion, however, you have to start from scratch like everyone else to receive the praise, respect and revere the state of many competitors in the high sense of Mongolian culture.
Here is a useful clip of Bokhara in action during the Naadam Festival
In addition, I will begin discussing the game itself more detail below in the section above. There is a disparity in standards between Outer Mongolia and Inner Mongolia. As the state of the rules, " [2] the object of a game is to get your opponent to play back, knee or elbow on the floor. Inside the Mongolian version, any other body part of the feet touching the ground signals defeat, [however], in both versions of a variety of throws, trips and lifts are used to defeat his opponent. The Mongols are not inside can touch his opponent's legs with his hands, while in Mongolia, grabbing your opponent's legs is completely legal. Also, hitting, choking or blockage is illegal in both varieties. "
In addition, no time limit or weight class are met. Each competitor has to fight round the In order to proceed to the next round. The more a competitor can enter a tournament, a round, the closer you become to receive a rating. The system classification is generally applied in the Naadam Festival (The Olympic Games in Mongolia). The following are some of the rows in Bokhara and forth based on the progression:
1. [5] If the wrestler wins 5 rounds, he was awarded the title "Nachin" (bird)
a. 6 rounds – Hartsaga (falcon).
b. 7 rounds – Zaan (elephant).
c. 8 rounds – Garuda.
d. 9 rounds – Arslan (León).
e. 10 – Avarga (Titan).
2. [5] [For example] in 2006, Zaan (Elephant) Sumyabazar won nine rounds Garuda him, but that year had 1024 fighters 10 rounds to win everything. This entitled him to Avarga. O Arslan (Lion) must win two in a row to become Avarga (Titan). Titles are for life. If Avarga (Titan) in the Naadam keeps winning more and more attributes to add to his title.
Since then, there are usually no weight classes or time limits. The choice of opponent's competence is based on the top-ranked and collect as rival, as they can choose someone smaller, larger or the same size ([2] boke modern codes (since 1980) stipulate that a lottery method will be used only in major regions and specialized naadams cross championship matches Boke, a base level of the traditional system still dominates). The title of these fighters are given usually at the Naadam Festival, and the field of competitors may be somewhere in 512 or 1024, for a tournament round 9 to 10. Matches these competencies usually done in open fields of grass or a large open field of sand land.
When the Bokhara The Competition will hold its meaning?
As these competitors are prepared to honor their ancestors, relatives, friends, colleagues, and loved one in the Naadam Festival, held each year in Ulaanbaatar in late July and early August. Naadam Festival In all "men" of events associated strict military code (this includes horse racing, archery, in which women are allowed to compete) remain in the competition for 10 days. This is the Mongolia event first coined the term "Olympics Mongolia," all Mongolians, and people from around the world, visiting the capital Mongolia's Ulaanbaatar city "red hero" to see the competitions and enjoy the richness of the culture of Mongolia.
The rankings, competitions, and the event is a very prudent for these competitors to achieve in the state, from now on, respecting codes of conduct. When given their awards at a show the witness of the lamas, politicians, military leaders, competitors, the Mongols, and foreigners, as these competitors serious than greatness through their display of cultural values, martial skills of Bokhara and the core of the wealth of ancient Mongolia cultural.
What is the future of Bokhara in Mongolia
Bokhara will always remain in Mongolia, which is the base of your carpets maintain the virtues cultural history, worth and uniqueness of what the Mongols, who at present. I just wish in the future, I will have the opportunity to experience and witness this important event, which has been in Mongolia for over 2,000 years.
Bokhara is a discipline derived from his army of martial arts system of Mongolia for young men to comply with the seeking more services in the military, government, political office, and law enforcement, etc. This system of martial arts has been the staple to maintain the progression in Mongolia organized along their historical periods. After studying and after researching this information in Bokhara I realize how powerful it is to deal as a tradition of a culture such as Mongolia, and the importance of its existence by force can stabilize the infrastructure of their society.

Ultimate Martial Arts [3 Pack] - $9.99 Includes:Shogun’s Ninja (1983), MPAA Rating: R L.A. Streetfighters (1985), MPAA Rating: R Bloodfight (1989), MPAA Rating: R Shogun’s Ninja Shogun’s Ninja revolves around two rival ninja clans whose constant battle for superiority has spanned decades and cost countless lives. During a critical point in their war with one another, one of the rival kings sends his commander on a mission to retrieve two mystical daggers. With these legendary knives, the clan hopes to learn the “secrets of the ninja,” which are rumored to come with them. The film features Hiroyuki Sanada, Sue Shiomi, Sonny Chiba, and Noribumi Suzuki. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi L.A. Streetfighters In this martial arts flick, Los Angeles is once again torn by street gangs, who are still killing each other over the same things, year after year — drugs, money, power and glory. Young (Jun Chong) is the leader of a gang, but his goal is to return to his homeland where he belongs and leave this the insanity of L. A. behind. Standing in his way is a turf war, a family falling apart at the seams, and a bang-up, knock ‘em dead showdown with a powerful drug cartel and its chief hitman, Kruger (Bill Wallace). ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi Bloodfight Kickboxer Bolo Yeung is the star of Bloodfight. The scene is a major martial-arts tournament, ostensibly dedicated to fair play. But all good intentions are dashed when one of the contestants (Yeung) accidentally impugns the master’s honor. The finale features a square-off between master and contestant. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi |
