  • Name of this is Gures the origin is from central asia turks.

  • The oldest oil wrestling comes from Egypt (at least 4700 years ago) then, after conquering Egypt by Persia, it was developed by Persians (3000 years ago) and became close to the form we can see in Turkey. It was probably transferred to Turkey by Kurds (Kurds are Iranian people). Turkish "pehlivan" comes from Persian "pahlavan" meaning "hero".

  • theymake every think turkish oil wrestling orignly comes from kurds and oil wresling is the biggest happens in adiyman and all ways kurds win it. turks are mongal background and mongols dont have it oil wresling goes back to medes which are kurdish bagground

  • Kispet:

    The leather worn by the wrestlers is called "Kisbet." A hundred years ago, the head wrestlers wore kisbets made of water buffalo leather. A headwrestler's kisbet can weigh as much as 13 kg (water buffalo leather), or 5kg (calf skin). A kispet has 58 meters of hand stitching.
