It's pretty impressive. A friend of mine went to the annual competition in Mongolia. he was one of the first Westerners to compete there. Actually managed to throw one of the Mongols guys, causing a big uproar. :-) Anyhoo, they wear vests with iron studs. So you don't really want to try some of the up-close-and-personal type techniques. These guys are stable as rocks. Extremely impressive. Apparently, they like to train with horses when they don't have a training partner. Just grab the horse and try ot wrestle it to the ground... Wim Look up Mongolian Wrestling. It’s pretty impressive.

I don’t think i’ll be trying it though." Agreed. :o
