This is “The Game of Counters” — partners take turns throwing the same attack against each other (jab in this case). The objective is to come up with a different counter each time. Any move creates and opening/vulnerability and any technique has a counter and the counter has a counter and so on. The idea is to teach fighters to present complex patterns when seeking to solve the same problem. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

We had a bökh (Mongolian wrestling) tournament yesterday to celebrate Naadam 😁

It gets wild in here 😁 ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Happy Naadam to all from coach Jamul!

Naadam, aka “The Three Games of Men,” has been celebrated in one form or another for at least the last 2,235 years that mark the founding of the Hunnu State in Mongolia by Modun Shanyu (the likely inspiration for the Mulan villain 😁).

Naadam is essentially a nomadic martial arts festival with the games consisting of wrestling, horse racing and archery.
