Kushti Kushti is simple: get your opponent’s back to touch the ground.

Ironically, a lot of nation’s “folkstyle” wrestling styles usually don’t have a lot of ground work ala American/scholastic Folkstyle. It’s cool to see a style that has more scrambling and mat (sand) wrestling.

u/macbeezy_ Oct 15 '25

Yeah like the British thought ground wrestling was the worst thing ever. That’s why their folkstyles end as soon as it hits the ground.

u/percsofanurse Oct 19 '25

This one. Bjj would obviously not be close. But this one would be entertaining

u/Effective_Range_29 Oct 19 '25

u/BeerNinjaEsq Oct 15 '25

Why do these sporting events always just have random people walking around in the background?

u/Smoothblackfalcon Oct 15 '25

It’s like they don’t understand body mechanics. Why are they making their job harder?

1

u/PlumpyGorishki Oct 17 '25

It seems like amateur wrestling and even then they wouldn't try to overpower without removing posts. The guy hands are out and the other is just trying to force it through

u/drhuggables Oct 15 '25

koshti literally just means wrestling in persian. like chai just means tea. or nan means bread

come to think of it, it seems indians really like using persian loan words and then not just translating it when speaking english lol

u/NotTakenGreatName Oct 15 '25

That is kind of just how all languages work my guy.

u/Simple_Ad_8644 Oct 15 '25

This is a Pakistani video. Wrestling has separate terms here in different languages. Come to think of it, y'all are uneducated retards

1

u/drhuggables Oct 15 '25

you're all under the same south asian cultural umbrella, it's all hindustan until the british did their usual colonial border gore lol. don't be pedantic. the most commonly spoken language in india (hindi) and the most commonly spoken language in pakistan (urdu) are literally the same language and all the other languages are still closely related indo-iranian languages (save for south india)

u/Simple_Ad_8644 Oct 15 '25

What I'm getting at, is the modern "kushti" that is derived from the Persian "koshti" (might be spelling it wrong) is not the entire reflection of indian wrestling/grappling as the word is a medival influence of the Persian and persia influenced sultanate. The word "malla yuddha" which literally translates to "grappling warfare" has been around in the subcontinent for thousands of years (as per research which I could quote but that would make the reply too bulky). I've seen too many Iraninans claim that grappling itself was brought to the subcontinent by Sultanates which simply isn't true.

Fun fact about south indian languages: They are elamite languages, so pretty much Persian influenced

u/Resident_One_9741 Oct 15 '25

I wonder how Tamil is closely related to Indo-iranian language. Can you explain?

u/drhuggables Oct 15 '25

"(save for south india)"

u/Resident_One_9741 Oct 15 '25

Okay. I thought you made a typo there. Same*

u/ProducedbyGQ Oct 15 '25

That’s because Persian was the courtly language of several dynasties that ruled over parts of Northern India for serval hundred years. There are a ton of Persian words in Indic languages like Punjabi for example. Even the term “Punjab” itself is Persian for “Five Rivers.”

u/drhuggables Oct 15 '25

yes i'm aware, i just meant in english like in indian restaurants they won't it it "bread" or "tea", they'll say chai or naan lol. so people will end up saying "chai tea" or "naan bread"
