Kurash is an ancient form of martial art originating from Uzbekistan. There are three scoring points viz. Halal, Yambosh and Chala. The player who scores a Halal wins the bout. To score a Halal you need to throw your opponent on his back with full control, force and speed. The throw that is close to Halal is given Yambosh. Two Yambosh makes a Halal. The throw that is close to Yambosh is given Chala. No number of Chala can equal a Yambosh. There are three penalties in Kurash. The first penalty is called Tambik, second penalty is Daki and the third penalty is Girrom which means disqualification. Unlike Judo there is no ground work in Kurash. The bout starts with salutation which is called Tazim. And to pause the bout Tokta is used and to cancel a point Bekar is used.
