Why do Central Asian Countries produce such great Wrestlers and Fighters

[mmajj2121]

Why does central asia produce such top tier wrestlers and fighters, like Dagistan Chechnya and Khazikstan

Does the higher altitude give a endurance advantage, especially with weight cutting from a higher to lower weight and recovering faster endurance wise?

Because there is nothing else to do.
Wrestling is to them what Candy Crush and Only Fans are to us.

Air drop them crates of smartphones and laptops with starlink connections and there won't be a single good Dagestani wrestler left in 5 years.

It's the Genghis Khan genetics. The ancestor of those Central Asia fighters conquered, pillaged and raped across half of the known world back then

air drop Genghis Khan an iPhone and he'll try to fuck it

4 posts in is all it took for Genghis Khan to be mentioned. Jesus christ you people are so unoriginal.

Dagestan and Chechnya aren’t in Central Asia

 

[jitzmonkey]

I read somewhere that it had to do with Alexander the Great and the proliferation of Hellenic culture (in this case wrestling) and values.

They’re definitely their own region; but would you liken them more to their neighbors to the east, west, etc?

 

[pamirec]

Only Kazakhstan is in Central Asia and most of its territory is not high altitude. But I see where you are coming from.

99% of the time, assuming genetics are in order, it's because the sport is attracting the best athletes in that country and therefore also has the infrastructure to give them proper training.

Those same regions suck ass at soccer, basketball, rugby, volleyball, American football, track and field, and on and on. So the best athletes aren't doing those sports and instead go into wrestling.

Same reason Canadians are amazing at hockey and New Zealanders are amazing at rugby. They are the only countries on earth where these are the #1 sports.

From Google: Wrestling is the most accessible and played out sport for boys and young adults in Russia especially in the Caucasus Republics and regions (Chechnya, Dagestan, Karachay-Cherkessia, North-Ossetia, Kabardino-Balkaria, Ingushetia)

They grow up doing it from day one, its part of their culture.

This is such a funny image lol

Just imagining that instead of a staff room where people go veg out on a sofa and doomscroll on their screens, the local supermarket just has some mats out back where the lads just go for a quick 15 minutes of Olympic level wrestling lol

The Caucasian fighters have superior genetics…. Just kiddding

On a serious note, I think there is very little to do in terms of being successful in the region and wrestling is seen as a way out or to succeed so they pick it up at a very young age as where in the west kids are playing with iPads and being indoctrinated by global elites and brainwashed by social media

If you have a sport readily available in a region and taught at a decent to high level through youth programs you will inevitably turn out some incredible athletes. Look at basketball, baseball and football here in the states. People like to over complicate a simple reality. It obviously helps that there are less modern distractions for the youth there than in other areas. The culture plays a large roll as well obviously.

If the rumours of his body count are true, we all pretty much have a little Genghis Khan in us

 

[TriangleMonkey]

The youth in those areas literally have nothing to do and see an avenue through whatever sport their region has thrived on doing

So basically being able to train all day, every day is way better than sitting around bored in their poor homes, that can get depressing

I seen it in Cuba at the boxing gym when I went to train there. Theres dudes that are from extreme poverty that literally are training 8-10hrs a day, practically every day. I have to expect its better than being at home with poor miserable parents, plus if you can make the national team and win a national title you may become something someday, hopefully…at least theres hope


It has to be that way in Dagestan but with the wrestling I have no doubts

Plenty of countries like that without producing anything.

It’s discipline that comes with Islam. But posters here won’t accept that.

 

[HatKick]

Same reason Europe produces great soccer players, Canada produces great hockey players, and Australia produces great rugby players. They care about it more than other countries and have a strong culture around it.

And because manliness hasn't been eradicated in those societies like in the western world.
