Background: This study generally examines the physical, intellectual, and moral pedagogy of Turkish people in their traditional wrestling. Born in the depths of the Paleolithic Age, wrestling has managed to survive in all cultures until today. This is because it tends to give meaning to expressions of physicality. Aim: To find an answer to the questions "How and what were the pedagogical elements of these trends?" and "What can it contribute to today's athlete training?". Methods: The descriptive identification and comparative methods of qualitative approach were used in the study. The researches of M. Turkmen, a traditional sports . . .specialist, were taken as references in this study. Results: The study was limited to Turkish peoples. In the conclusion, it was seen that traditional wrestlers, who are trained with master-apprentice training in Turkish peoples from past to present, emulate their masters as role-models. The ancient Turks, who had lived the steppe-nomadic life, had to be strong, combative, and durable by nature. They had to reach a collective consciousness as well as the intellectual and moral aspects. People who grew up with all these aspects were called "alp", which stands for the wrestler at the same time. "Alplik", which gives its place to Persian term "pehlewan" in the XII. Century, was the right of nine conditional seculars and another nine conditional spiritual world achievement. Conclusion: It was understood that some of these pedagogies coming from the Pehlewan tradition contributed and would contribute to contemporary sports education More less

Background: Buryats, the ancient homeland of all Turkic peoples before Central Asia and living in Southern Siberia, are the first peoples with whom they interact in Turkish-Mongolian culture and genetic codes. Buryats have a traditional wrestling called "Buhe-Barildaan", which they attach great importance to since ancient times. Aim: For a foreigner, understanding Buryat traditional wrestling will undoubtedly shed light on other aspects of the social life of Buryats and even Turkish-Mongolian peoples. Therefore, the study aims to explain 'Buhe-Barildaan' with its formation, transformation and rituals. Methods: In addition to the lit . . .erature review, descriptive research and comparison method, one of the models in the qualitative approach, was used. The research is limited to the folkloric wrestling of Buryats, who live in Southern Siberia and consist of Turkish-Mongolian genetics.

First of all, 'forest-type' wrestling has become widespread among Turkish origin Oyrat, Bulaga and Ehiri Buryats and Mongolian origin Onon Buryats. Now practiced almost everywhere, the steppe-type was seen only in people dealing with animal husbandry. In steppe-type wrestling matches, one of the three organs that touches the floor of one of the opponents ends in defeat. Conclusion: It was seen that non-Russian native authors used various suggestion methods to explain the importance of Buryat wrestling, to suggest its continuity among social indicators, to create social meaning and national identity. Buryat wrestling culture, it is based on the economic life unique to the development and continuity of the people and the traditional sources of the geographical environment that feed this life. Buhebarildaan wrestling is one of the most important elements of the sports culture that helps to preserve the national identity and connection between generations. The functional and ideological origins of the Buryat Buhe-barildaan wrestling, historically, it is associated, first of all, with the choice of a mass who, besides having to face external power, is the leader of the military forces. In addition, Buhe-barildaan wrestling, which has two types, namely steppe and forest types, was seen to coincide with the wrestling of the peoples living in those geographies, especially Turks, in the context of typology and homogeneity More less

Background: In this study, the material and spiritual culture elements in the rituals applied in the organizations where the traditional sports of the Turkic peoples are performed will be examined together with their archetypal codes. Each element of traditional sports materials and rituals has some symbolic meaning in religious and moral contexts. Aim: The main rituals to be examined in traditional games and sports are:the fields where the games held, calendar days, awards, music, category/weight classes (categories), master-apprentice relationships, clothing, top of the organizational hierarchy (wise man (el-yahshisi/elders, aqsaq . . .al), those who announced racing horses, wrestling Alps to the audience, who chanted lyrical poems during the races, and who praise the wrestler before the competition (announcer [cazgir] eulogizer [Salavatci]), and dance performed according to music in wrestling (peshrev), etc. Methods: It will be tried to seek answers to the questions of whether the national characteristics of these rites were maintained today and what kind of transformation they have undergone. Descriptive research and comparison method, among the models included in the qualitative approach, was used in the study. The population of the research was limited to the Turkic peoples from Siberia to the Balkans. Results: With the effect of the inclusion of Turks in many belief systems in history and their contact with other societies for various reasons, as a matter of course, the style of the games and some rituals in the games have changed and transformed, and some have been forgotten. However, it was observed that most of the ritual practices continued instinctively. Conclusion: It was concluded that, although there were national and economic factors in the formal manners of the games, there was a religious aspect to the origin of these subjective or objective rites and these rites were inherently spiritual, and that most rites were, at least, as old as the recorded history More less
