Traditional Turkish Oil Wrestling
via my buddy’s blog.The annual Turkish Oil Wrestling Tournament was so sizzle…
Turkish oil wrestling has been around for quite some time now, since 1360 A.D. to be exact, although its origins can be traced back to 2650 B.C.
“before each bout, the wrestlers pour olive oil over their entire bodies, and the matches take place in an open, grassy field, with the contestants naked except for trousers made of leather, which extend to just above the knee. Victory is achieved when one wrestler either pins the other to the ground (as in many other forms of wrestling) or lifts his opponent above his shoulders.”
But now this days… This form of wrestling has taken on a whole new meaning, with the introduction of ‘LGBT’ Turkish oil wrestling….
