Join us for an exciting day of MAS Wrestling at the Kelley Fitness Center!
Mas wrestling, known in Russian as мас-рестлинг, is a traditional sport originating from the Yakut people of Siberia. This engaging competition, derived from the ancient game of mas tard'yhyy (meaning 'stick tugging'), showcases not only strength but also strategy and technique.
The Basics of Mas-Wrestling
In a typical mas wrestling match, two competitors sit facing each other, propping their feet against a board that divides the competition area. They each grasp a wooden stick, referred to as mas, and must pull it while ensuring it remains parallel to the board.
