Women wrestlers fight during the Bohk competition in Hulunbuir on July 15, 2017. Bohk is one of Mongolia’s age-old “Three Manly Skills” along with horsemanship and archery. The basic premise behind Bohk is to force an opponent to put any part of their body other than their feet on the ground, placing them in a position of inferiority. This kind of training served the Mongol hordes well in their conquests, earning them a reputation as fierce soldiers on foot and on horseback. [Photo/people.cn]
