It Is so beautiful. Mongolian nadam is the ancient festival preparing
the warrior for their combat as consist of three manly sport. We calls
that Erin Gurwan Nadam. It is a wrestling archery horse race. Wrestling
is a very funny and theres a no weight class so that the young at age
fifteen, sixteen in teenagers and can wrestle they re 40 years old adult
its just huge there are big men really really strong and then suddenly
there is a great noise a boy I hope shouting and there is someone set
of the horses arriving and boom there is nobody that the wrestling
place that is all gone rushed to that finishing line. The horse race is
testing not only the speed it is endurance it is cross country event the
joke is our young kids is five years old. That oldest is thirteen years old.
They just ride on a horse and bare feet without saddle Mongolian
horses highly phrased in their endurance in speed and as a
relationship with the human being . People watch the archery and
the cheering the arch man probably the wartime is that testing their
the skills for a sharpness Nadam brings community together. Mongolia
