In the 14th century, Amir Timur used kurash for the physical training and self-defense of his soldiers.

As you know, the army of Timur, having conquered half the world, remained undefeated. Centuries have passed, and kurash has become one of the most beloved and honored traditions of the peoples who inhabited the territory of modern Uzbekistan. Uzbeks say they have kurash in their genes and in their blood. Today, there are more than two million people involved in this sport throughout Uzbekistan.
