Mongolian wrestling Bökh is a traditional Mongolian sport that has existed in Mongolia for centuries, and features no weight categories, unlike other wrestling. Bökh is Mongol for “wrestling”, and is one of Mongolia’s age-old “Three Manly Skills - horseback riding, archery, and wrestling”. The object of a match is to get opponent to touch his back, knee, or elbow to the ground without a time limit. Each wrestler must wrestle once per round, and the winners move to the next round. A variety of throws, trips, and lifts are employed to topple opponent in both versions. In addition, striking, strangling, or locking is illegal in both varieties. The technical rules between the Mongolian version and Inner Mongolia have some divergence. In the Inner Mongolian version, touching any body part other than the feet on the ground means defeat, and the Inner Mongolians may not touch their opponent's legs with their hands, whereas, in Mongolia, grabbing opponent's legs is completely legal.
