The Netflix series "Physical: Asia" has become a real hit, showcasing the achievements of the Mongolian team, which won an honorable second place in a series of sports competitions.
The strength and endurance of this team are not the result of modern gyms but are rooted in millennia-old traditions, where physical activity, balanced nutrition, and social connections play a significant role. One of the most significant sports is BÖKH — traditional Mongolian wrestling, which for over 1000 years has combined rituals, physical power, and respect for ancient traditions. With Explorer.Company, travelers can immerse themselves in these unique traditions of Mongolia through specially designed off-road tours available for booking at www.Explorer.Company.
Bökh: The Living Tradition of Mongolia
Orkhonbayar "Bökh" Bayarsaihan, a multiple Naadam champion, leads the Mongolian team at the "Physical: Asia" competitions, showcasing the richest traditions of wrestling. Naadam is a UNESCO-recognized cultural festival that includes wrestling, archery, horseback riding, and much more. Bökh combines ancient techniques with rituals, precision, and physical strength, which has reflected in the team's successes. The Mongolian team consists of athletes with experience in mixed martial arts, circus arts, basketball, and volleyball, creating a unique blend of sports and culture characteristic of Naadam.
Sports in Mongolia is more than just physical activity; it unites communities, celebrates culture, and creates harmony with nature. A healthy lifestyle that includes physical activity, fresh produce, and communion with nature fosters unity among the various cultures and tribes of Mongolia, which can be experienced while traveling across the country.
