The Naadam Wrestling Festival in Mongolia

The traditional Mongolian wrestling festival of martial art has been practiced for 2,000 years and was used by Ghengis Khan to train his troops. In the tournament, players wearing colorful costumes wrestle in a grassy stadium. There are no weight-class restrictions, which makes for some interesting competition.
