Struggle

Samarkand, Bukhara, Khiva - all the main trade routes of Asia, especially the Great Silk, passed through these cities. The most diverse cultures interact and enrich each other here - Chinese, Indian, Iranian, Arab, nomadic peoples of the Asian deserts. During Timur's time, present-day Uzbekistan became the center of the entire Muslim world. Surprisingly, the traditions of Uzbeks and their near and distant neighbors have many things in common. For example, Uzbek national wrestling, in various forms, is present in almost all Turkic nations. In fact, it would be correct to call this struggle national rather than national, because it is cultivated both on the banks of the Volga and in the mountains of Afghanistan. Therefore , sooner or later wrestling had to be formed as an independent sport. Kamil Yusupov, Chairman of the State Sports Committee of Uzbekistan, President of the International Wrestling Association: "During the Soviet Union, it was not possible to develop this type of sport. Because there were sambo, judo and other types. But it was preserved as a sport. National sport. After we became an independent country, we gave judo and karate to the world like civilized countries like Japan. China is raising its own wushu. Or the Koreans gave taekwondo, an international Olympic sport. We."

In the early 1990s, Komil Yusupov, master of sports in sambo and judo, developed uniform rules for wrestling. Before that, in Uzbekistan, in general, in Central and Central Asia, each region had its own characteristics. In neighboring neighborhoods, wrestling competitions are held not only on religious holidays, but also on family holidays. It can be a wedding or a circumcision wedding. The battlefield is not limited in any way - any open space is suitable. The fight continues until one of the opponents stands on the shoulder. Or just collapse from exhaustion. If during the fight it is determined that the strength of the wrestlers is equal, they can agree to a draw. There is no referee, there is a bakovul - an announcer who calls the wrestlers and separates them if they forget the rules in the heat of the fight. The winner usually receives a ram or money collected from the audience as a prize.
As long as wrestling was a pure popular pastime, no stricter regulation was required. Everything changed when he moved from open spaces to gyms. In wrestling, it is forbidden to grab the opponent's pants. It is also not allowed to use methods that endanger the lives of wrestlers. In addition, the use of suffocating and painful methods is prohibited. Sports wrestling is not much different from folk wrestling. The prohibited methods are the same. And here and there, the fight is only in the upper position, it is forbidden to transfer it to stalls - the fight stops when the wrestler falls to at least one knee. But the time of the duel in competitions is limited to four minutes. If there is no clear victory, that is, a shot on both shoulder blades - halal - the judges will determine the winner by points. For throwing a shoulder blade - enbosh - half a victory is awarded. The lowest score is given for throwing with technical errors, which is when the opponent lowers the hips, buttocks or even the face.
There is probably no man in Uzbekistan who has not tried himself in national wrestling at least once. 2 million people regularly practice this type of sport in the republic. "Jar" sports complex, which means "pit", was built after independence. There are sections for taekwondo, swimming, football, boxing, karate, judo... There are a total of 18 sports. Abusalam Isokhojhaev (colonel of the internal service, master of sports in boxing): "We are given conditions and privileges for the development of sports. Very big privileges. For example, we are exempted from taxes, land tax, and income tax. Everything is done to support sports. To practice sports freely.
The national wrestling division is no less than boxing or karate. It employs 350 people. Training is built as in any SAMBO section: running, somersaults, general development exercises, speed throwing. By the way, Kharlampiev adopted many techniques from wrestling when he created sambo in the thirties. The shape of the carpet on which fights are held is taken from judo. This is where the form comes from. And the yacht jacket is not white and the cut is more like a sambovka. The length of the jacket should be 15-20 cm above the knee. The sleeve should reach the wrist, and the pants should reach the lower leg. The length of the belt should be such that after turning the waist twice and tying a knot, the length of the ends is at least 20 cm.
According to the rules, all the colors of the national flag of Uzbekistan should be reflected in the uniform of the wrestlers: blue-green-white-red. This requirement applies only to official meetings. Wrestlers participating in the competition must wear white pants, a blue or green jacket, and a red belt. The wrestler in the blue jacket is the first to step on the mat. After training, coach Alim Norov held an exhibition game with one of his students especially for me. Wrestlers put their right hands over their hearts as a sign of greeting before entering the mat. Of course, the young athlete could not put up a worthy resistance to the master. The weight gain didn't help either. After each shot of the scientist, the opponent was always on the shoulder blades. In competitions, after the first such "clean" hold, the fight is stopped. Wrestling is an incredibly dynamic and amazing sport. Passivity is severely punished. If the wrestler has not attempted to hold within 25 seconds, the referee will issue a warning to him. Three warnings - loss.
Belt wrestlers, that is, wrestling, belong to this class of martial arts and have been revered in the East for all ages. In the 13th century, perhaps the most respected wrestler of Central Asia lived in Khiva - Uzbek, Pakhlavon - Mahmud. No one managed to put it on the shoulder blades. Mahmoud was distinguished by his special kindness and piety. Mahmud's mausoleum is always crowded with pilgrims. There is a well in front of the entrance to the mausoleum. According to the Khiva people, the water in it is healing. Here they say "drinking is good for your health and your wallet." For the wallet - because you don't have to spend money on medicines.
Bakhrom Atakulov, mula: "Pakhlavon Mahmud lived a long life. He fought in India, Persia, China and was never defeated. He had no wife and children. He was engaged in tanning and distributed the money he earned to the people. ". Mahmoud was buried in his workshop, he was here, behind the wall. Women ask Pahlavon for health for their children, family happiness for newlyweds, success in business from men, victory in competitions from athletes. An international tournament is held annually in honor of the great wrestler.
Recently, the number of fans of Uzbek national wrestling is growing rapidly. Competitions are held all over the world, even in Australia and India. National associations were formed in 75 countries, the International Federation was formed, and the first World Championship was held. Wrestling attracts people primarily because it is devoid of any aggression. This art is mutilation and
