Trust the work you put to Build the life
Pehlwani is a form of wrestling from the Indian subcontinent. It was developed in the Mughal Empire by combining native Malla -yuddha. A practitioner of this sport is referred to as a pehlwan while teachers are known as ustad.
Kushti has seen a shift in fortune in the last decade. Renewed interest in the sport was triggered after Sushil Kumar won bronze and silver medals in consecutive Olympics (2008, 2012), and Yogeshwar Dutt won a bronze medal (2012 Olympics). Following the male wrestlers, Sakshi Malik won a bronze medal at the 2016 Olympics, inspiring a new generation of female wrestlers. Indian wrestlers—both male and female— have also won numerous medals at the Commonwealth Games and Asian Games which has brought much prestige to the sport. The success of the Phogat sisters was featured in the super-hit movie Dangal and girls now see wrestling as a viable career option. This has come as a welcome change within the sporting community and has received support from parents, sponsors, gurus, coaches and male wrestlers. Kolhapur’s taleems have now opened up to female grapplers who undergo training on the same level as boys. The rise in popularity of the sport has also brought in increased prize money at tournaments. Despite these changes, there is still a huge difference between training in a taleem and winning medals at international tournaments. In comparison, wrestling on the mat is all about tactics and speed because each round lasts only for a few minutes. Mats are expensive and not available for training. This is why wrestlers get less practice on the mat, which affects their performance at national and international games where soil wrestling is not allowed.
Daily life at a taleem is based on egalitarianism, strict discipline, healthy diet, high morals, and ethical living. Many people are out there want to continue the tradition but only a few are there who actually putting efforts and taking a step ahead towards the goal of saving our tradition and traditional sports. Out of those few I’d like to highlight one firm who is successfully walking ahead in the fashion industry holding hands with their tradition and culture. In Pune a fashion house named “Royal Tasta” taking initiatives in all the ethnic fashion. We are launching दमदार men’s shirt collection पैलवान. We are combining nostalgia, the urgency of heritage, and intrigue together introducing you to all new designer pieces in our designer's house. The kushti tradition is still alive and thriving, and we hope in future India will unearth many medal winners from the soil of its traditional taleems.
It’s not the will to win that matters-everyone has that. It’s the will to work out to win that matters.
