First Training Bout in the Dehli Akhada with Tarik

The first guy I am wrestling is called Tarik, he is one of the best wrestlers of the Akharda and pinned me twice in 6 minutes. I was surprised by his techniques, for instance in Kushti you can put your knee on the neck of the opponent and than grab his costume (Janghia) to lift him up. It puts quite a lot of pressure on your cervical spine and with the face in the mud it doesn’t feel pleasant. :D Also there is no time limit and no points. You can only win by pin, which is just short contact of both shoulders to the mat.
