Kazakh wrestling

Kazakh ('Qazaq') wrestling ('kuresi') is a type of wrestling in which two fighters battle on foot, trying to get both of an opponent’s shoulders to simultaneously touch the ground. It is an ancient martial art that can be traced back to when Nomadic Kazakh tribes engaged in combat, serving as entertainment and training. Kazhymukan Munaitpasov was a famous Kazakh wrestler, becoming the first Kazakh world champion in Greco-Roman wrestling.
