It happened that I was going to the beach to take a swim and I stumble upon the annual Tatar Fighting contest:


Note this is a short video with the contest taken with my old Samsung j5 phone.

For this year the contest was held on the beach.

After a fight few guys were preparing the ring for the next pair of fighters.

Fun fact : Kureş (or tatar fight) is an ancient tatar sport originating in Central Asia where fighters faught to show who is the most strongest fighter.
The Tatars from Dobrogea, Romania ( my place) are the descendants of the tatars from the "Golden Horde", a place held by a decendent of Ginghis Han.

Hi @cynetyc,they are boys of approximately 12 or 14 years, this is a little complicated, the boy in white raised his opponent very easy, and also compete girls, the famous weaker sex, is no longer so weak.

Yes they allow both genders to compete as long as they are healthy and of course if their family agrees.
It started as a celebration but now it is a contest held every year with prizes.
