Jcjcjc Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) Any social studies teachers introduce any traditional folk style wrestling in their classrooms? I've taught Things Fall Apart and shown some wrestling clips to illustrate some aspects of the book and culture. Kazakhstan has some versions of wrestling on horseback that I used to introduce the role horses had in the empires of that area of the world. I'm hoping none of my students bring up the Mongolians protesting at the Olympics, but their folk style looks like a cross between judo and beach wrestling.
