Make sure that you honour the historic Scottish religion and go to a Calvinistic Presbyterian church service!! ;)
Where are you coming to in Scotland?
Top notch
This remind me of Anthony Bourdains series but strength based. I feel like we get these glimpses into cultures I never would have seen before. Excellent work.
Even Martins voiceover sounds like an homage to Anthony.
@@jasonguest5820 Yeah the series is called Strength Unknown, and Anthony Bourdain's show was called Parts Unknown. The whole thing is definitely an homage. A really well done one too.
Anthony Bour-GAINZ
So suicide incoming?
It is definately a tribute to Anthony Bourdain, Martins is doing a great job with this. Inspired by but not copied.
I play amateur American football in Shanghai. One of our players is ethnically Mongolian from Inner Mongolia, and wrestled as a teenager. He is by far our best offensive or defensive lineman
Badddassss
That’s awesome there’s football in Shanghai.. Is there anyway of watching. Thanks
@@rfcmaverick739look up wonton don dragon skin . It’s like a 10 part series of a American dude playing football in China
@@rfcmaverick739Shanghai Warriors, there's a bunch of videos reporting on the team but I've yet found full coverage of a game. Interesting rabbit hole.
What team u play for?
This right here is martins strongman legacy
Wsm documenting strength from around the world. Love this series
Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. Thank you very much for your time.
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
(19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..
God said : Say, “We believe in Allah, and in what was revealed to us, and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus, and in what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We do not differentiate between any of them. And to Him, we surrender.”

The second place white pantss name is called Gegereh. My father used to coach him and he is currently one of the best wrestler in Southern Mongolia. Wrestling is highly connect to the honor of wrestlers hometown, u can see the mongol word on the knees of the white pants is Bairan which is my beloved home town as well ,a small part of Southern Mongolia. We highly respect our wrestlers it's like wrestling NBA for us.
My mum's been all over the world traveling, she stayed with a Mongolian family in a traditional yurt for a week and then went to one of those festivals and traveled around the country. She reckons that Mongolia is her favourite place that she's ever been to and when I said she's been all over the world I meant it(even Antarctica).
Can't believe your mom chose a landlocked hilly grassland country as her favourite!🤔
Ok Dave😂
@@johnnyj2066 She was brought up on a farm so just loved the living with nature way of life over there, the landscapes are gorgeous, the horses and eagles and the people. She stayed in touch with her young female translator as they got on like a house on fire then when the translator visited the UK she stayed at mum's house for a few days and mum showed her the area.
Most countries kind of look the same nowadays. There is not one inch of Mongolia that could be anywhere else. Even Ulaanbaatar is full of gers. The people following traditional way of life in Mongolia work their asses off 7 days a week 365 days a year. I would not say Mongolia was my favorite place but it is beautiful and the people were kind to us. And it really made an impression.
@anglohan5428 I am Mongolian and I agree. Chinese colonizers are 1,200,000,000 but Mongolians are only few million. They have the power to say anything (including all kinds of bullshit) due to their astronomical population count and technology. It evokes fire inside of me, a Mongolian, to look at anything related to Inner Mongolia because of the way Chinese immigrants murder innocent Mongolian nomads to steal their land in the past few decades.
On my HS wrestling team we had a coach from Korea who was trained in Mongolian wrestling and one day a week he would randomly partner us across weight classes and have us wrestle Mongolian style. It didn't help much match-per-match but taught us so much regarding things like conservation and expenditure of strength/energy. My 130 lb buns had to learn to combat the superior strength of a 240 lb hulk, while he had to learn to deal with my speed and maneuverability. Undoubtedly some of the most valuable training I ever had.
I've never become a patreon for any channel but as soon as I saw your membership deal I din't hesitate to join. This show is the best, hope you can continue making it for as long as you feel like, and you definitely deserve to get paid for it!
i love how original and positive this is compared to so much other youtube fitness related content, says a lot about the whole team
If you think of a people who have historically been considered the embodiment of strength, Mongolia is one of the first names that comes to mind. This is exactly the sort of thing I want to see in a series about the different strength cultures around the world. Mongolian wrestlers are some badass dudes.
No, Whites are better wrestlers.
First 3 I think of are Mongols, Vikings, and Polynesians
@@kevinolsen6441 senegal and russia too
They have dominated sumo wrestling in Japan. They tough as a Nail
It takes a couple weeks to invade Mongolia.. that's is not about size but mind😂😂😂
I've been to Inner Mongolia and Mongolia. I miss those places, Mongolian people are very giving, generous and will hook you up if you are on their good side. They can be pretty crass and temperamental but they are (generally) great people. And when you visit Mongolia you really understand the term "built different". You gotta be "built different" to be from and live there, its NOT for the weak.

Keep including grappling! (Is there a sumo episode yet? Judo? Collar and elbow in Ireland?) 🎉

Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
(19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..
God said : Say, “We believe in Allah, and in what was revealed to us, and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus, and in what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We do not differentiate between any of them. And to Him, we surrender.”

Absolutely loving this series, getting to see so many different strength athletes from around the world!
As a Scottish person, really looking forward to the Scottish episode! Hope you love it here!
Incredible work guys. Appreciate you taking an original route with the channel and following your passion.
Hey Martins and Romark,
If the travel advisory and political situation ever changes, it’d be really cool for you guys to do a Strength Unknown in Iran, and learn about the Pahlavoons/Houses of Strength that are still present. Iran has a long history of strength athletics and has a lot of strongman athletes with potential. Perhaps getting in touch with former WSM competitor Peiman Maheripur or some of the athletes who solely compete with WUS would be a start? Keep up the great work making this content !
would love to see this,excellent suggestion

I didn't know that the great Persia had a culture of strength, I would love to see that.
This was... really great. I think there's something special about going in so blind.
I've heard (not experienced) that the best type of tourism experience is when you wind up doing something completely unexpected and just follow your interest as you get to learn a new place. That's what you did here, and better yet, you brought us along with you!
I think this could be a new genre of documentary, almost (at least new to me).
I appreciate that! Thank you!
Great video! New to this channel. I've heard of Mongolian wrestling before but never witnessed a competition of theirs. Thank you for introducing the world to the Mongolian warrior culture.
Another video with perfect narration that conveys a genuine curiosity about other cultures and a deep respect for the athletes. Thank you to Martind and his team for bringing us along their journey of discoveries.
This series is my absolute favourite discovery since getting into watching strength content, so much fun and you show such humility
Amazing! The culture, the dedication to an age old craft and an excellent job of covering your adventures in such a short clip. Great job Martins and Romark!!! You should have a series on discovery.
this series has been so beautiful! it honestly feels like its produced by the travel channel or something, well done!
Incredible! This is the best strength documentary series ever! I can't get enough of it. What you guys are doing here is absolutely incredible
The more I watch from this channel, the more I'm blown away. The format being an homage to Bourdain's "Parts Unknown" is a genius move, and the production quality is so consistently high. Please continue doing this as long as you can!
As someone who's born in Northern China, just wanna let everyone know that the banners (tribes) that were loyal to Genghis Khan's house ended up living where Inner Mongolia is today. The outer Mongolia or Mongolia, are the banners that were loyal to the Oirat and Khalkha Mongols Confederations. The museum you weren't able to film inside actually contains the saddle, banner and I believe helmet of Genghis Khan. Another fun fact was that Imperial (Nazi) Japan tried to take these artifacts during WWII but Inner Mongolian Banners with the help of Republic of China soldiers successfully defended it and prevented the Japanese from taking these cultural artifacts away from their rightful owners.
I like your comment. You make me consider a good overlap of Mongolia and northern China I'd certainly be keen to explore, as far as far eastern Asia goes. Mongolia I'd say is my number one destination to visit in that whole region. But also definitely northern China (the southern coastline and major cities don't interest me), Korea and Japan. For me, the cutting edge of combined Asian civilization.
@@markeedeep I travelled through Northern China and Southern China. I would say that North and South China are completely different. Both cultures are extremely interesting. With North, you will be able to see effects of integration of various nomadic cultures w/ Han culture. Whereas South you see more Han, SEA, and even some Polynesian culture. Supposedly that Polynesians originated in Southern China, specifically from Fujian and Guandong Province. Since historians recently traced the Polynesian language migration and concluded that it came from Mainland China.
Say you start from the West in the Xinjiang province, you will see central Asian culture as the dominant culture there are Chinese Han, Uighur, Kazakh, and Tajik cultures so a mix of Persian, Turko-Mongol, and Han culture.
As you gradually move east, you'll end up in Gansu and Ningxia provinces, which are predominately Muslim Chinese people - aka the Hui Muslims. Dominant cultures here are Hui Muslim culture, and Han, mixed with small amounts of Tibetan and Mongol/Manchu.
As you go North East, you enter Inner Mongolia, urban centers have a mixture of Han and Mongol culture. Rural and steppe areas are inhabited by specific Mongol Banners that traces their lineage back to Qing Dynasty and some even to Yuan Dynasty.
As you go South East, you enter Shaanxi Province, which is the biggest culture melting pot of China. The imperial capital of Chang'an aka Xi'an, shows a mixture of Muslim, Han, and Buddhist cultures. Traveling to Lin Tong you will see Han Dynasty Imperial Tombs, and the tomb of China's first emperor - Qin Shi Huang.
As you go West in Shaanxi province, you will end up in Fengxiang - which has tombs of antiquity China, specifically Xia and Zhou tombs as well as tombs of early Qin Dukedom / Kingdom rulers before they unified China.
Moving east, Shanxi (diff than Shaanxi) Henan, Hebei, and Beijing, mostly Han culture but you will see a lot of historical sites related to Ming and Qing dynasty in China. As well as the oldest continuously inhabited city in China aka Pingyao City in Shanxi province.
Moving further east, you end up in Manchuria or Dong Bei, which is a mixture of Han, Manchu, and ethnic Korean culture (Yanbian). More specifically for Manchu, you will be able to see a lot of historical sites related to Liao, and Qing Dynasty.
Hope this helps and I definitely encourage you to travel there and don't believe all that propaganda you see on our Western MSM.
As a Mongolian, my middle finger will always be up for Chinese because Chinese, regardless of governments, brutally murdered 100,000 Mongolians in Inner Mongolia from 1967-1969 while persecuting up to a million. Japanese didn't commit genocide against Mongolia. Chinese committed genocide against Mongolia since the construction of the Great Wall. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inner_Mongolia_incident

I wish the episodes where longer. I could watch hours of them training, eating, drinking, laughing...
Hearing Martins talk about back pain is so true. i can workout for 3 hours training back and be fine, but if i do 30 minutes of yard work i can barely move lol.
The struggle is real 😆
Probably because you’re thinking about what you do when you exercise, like posture and technique, but going into auto pilot mode with yard work, being lazy and taking shortcuts, not bending down with proper form etc.
@@mattmatthews1525 yeah that sounds about right, i also think its about movement like being in the ocean vs being in a washing machine. The ocean is constant a washing machine is erratic, if that makes any sense.
Same man, but I think the guy above is right, it might our focus in the gym being allocated to proper posture, etc, while we don't necessarily pay that much attention on the field or else
Great to see Lavell Marshall got some recognition!! He is awesome!!
Amazing content!

What you do is incredible, thank you for bringing me through a journey that I would probably never be able to experience in first person.
"I actually prefer competing over standing for long periods of time."
Now you know how we felt at the WSM in Sacramento, standing under the hot sun for hours, our feet turning numb, our backs seizing up, kids crying to go home, and security not allowing anyone to bring chairs in! One of the most miserable events I've ever attended in any sport.
😂😂😂 man up
And then compare this to Official Strongman Games were they compete in stadiums. WSM has just lost it's track.

This is the greatest travel series going. The fact you done it all on your own is amazing. Safe travels and great feats of strength!
This was fascinating! I loved seeing all the experiences and your journey to try and understand.
Was enough to get me to join. Definitely looking forward to watching the full interview to get more background on the culture.
Can't wait for you to return.
Awesome video. Like another commenter said, this style is inspired by Bourdain but made into your own. I’m excited to see even more projects from you. Respectful admiration of different cultures is sorely needed in our popular culture.
These are SO WELL done... Let alone the ideas and places are at least for me newer seen and almost all sports are unknown to me. You guys could definitely have a whole career even in documentary stuff. Thanks, made my sunday!
Never heard of you guys before but this was honestly one of the best vlogs/docs on the Mongolian wrestling I've seen. Fantastic production value!!
I think this was a good episode, but lacked so many things, one of them of which would’ve been fantastic is for Martines to participate!
I agree.. we wanted so much more, but couldn’t make it happen. We have connections there now, so it will be easier to accomplish next trip
I randomly came across this video on my TH-cam feed. It turned out to be very enjoyable to watch. I'm now looking forward to watching the other videos that are part of the Strength Unknown series.
Simply put I love this series! Martins and Romark have really jumped their game up and there hard work shows in spades. Thanks guys for sharing.
I could watch hundreds of your videos of the both of you. It’s a perfect combination and learning in the process, but definitely wish they would last longer with more entertainment from you guys and then experiencing where you are!
Just watched the replay of WSM 2019 last night. Great to see Martin is doing well of his career 💪🍻
These are amazing documentaries. I don’t know if you have shopped these around at all, but I could see HBO or Netflix being interested.
When you’ve completed them all, I hope you combine them into one full length doc. That should gain some views/attention
Working on it 🤞 lawyer stuff takes longer than shooting 3 episodes 😆
This series is so awesome. You are creating a legacy far beyond strongman!
I adore this series - absolutely beautiful. I would love to see you visit Poland - the home of your mate Mateusz, and the land of The Dominator, Pudzianowski! ;)
Mariusz is legend .
This channel is amazing. Compiling athletics, strengt, culture and history like no other. Much respect to this American showing respect and experiencing asian culture in sush a real way. Thank you.
My old BJJ gym had a group of Mongolian immigrants training there and all them wrestled in these tournaments in their youth. In one memorable roll, one of them tapped me from an shoulder lock (americana). I didn't tap due to pain in my shoulder though, I tapped because his grip on my wrist was so strong my hand went numb... and it tingled for 19 hours after training.
I can guarantee these guys are about 4 times as strong as they look in this video.
Holy shit, so stoked you got Lavell on here! he's and absolute monster of a wrestler and a dope human being.
All I can say is wow. What another amazing production from you guys. Thank you for providing us with such genuine content.
This was fascinating to see the culture! Thank you for that. Please, consider coming to Turkey for Turkish oil wrestling (yağlı güreş) as well. It has been organized in many places every year, especially in mountains, where we half-nomad Turks go in summers to live. The most famous and well-rooted one has been organized in "Edirne, Kırkpınar". It has been organized in Kırkpınar, the same place, for 663 years, since the Ottomans. We are in the 4. place in olympics wrestling as a country when Soviet Union is excluded. If you want to make a video about it, do not forget to mention the stories of old wrestlers such as Koca Yusuf, Adalı Halil, Kurtdereli Mehmet ❤
Such a good channel!love the content. The Mongols really are amazing people
Love it. What’s next should be come and see us in the independent Mongolia! 😊
Mongolia (Outer) and Inner Mongolia always confuses me. Always using map to find which is which. Inner Mongolia is in China, which is set in this documentary.
I didn't know that there are more Mongolians in Inner Mongolia than Mongolia itself. And a lot of the Mongolian culture, tradition, and language script is still kept alive in Inner Mongolia, because Mongolia has abandoned it or gotten screwed when they were taken over by the Soviets.
Yes, It’s been an interesting half a century for them…
The Soviets decimated the culture, there's nothing left of it in (outer) Mongolia.
It may seem arbitrary, but there's a lot of people around the world and in America that would love to see a deep dive into Olympic wrestling. Especially from the perspective of one of the strongest men on earth. MARTINS
As a Jiu-Jitsu guy I have mad respect for your journey....
God bless you guys! Thanks for the amazing experience!💯❤️
Congratulations for the quality and the depth achieved with this episode. Thanks for reclaiming male strength and respect to warrior culture as worthy human values.
Love the music choice in this one, it really adds a lot to the vibe of the wrestling!
Inner Mongolian wrestling champions dream of wrestling in Mongolian Naadam where the wrestlers are far stronger and skilled than their southern relatives. Lot of them go there and get humbled including Tuvans and Buryats from Russia.
If you really want to learn Bokh you should visit Mongolia.
Where do you gather this information from? I’ve heard the opposite.
You can make an argument, there is 3m people in Mongolia, and almost 8m in China, so where do you think competition is tougher 😉
But the probably the Greatest Sumo Champions are from north 🤷🏽♂️
@@MartinsLicis Where have you heard that? gather some wrestlers and come to real Mongolia.
Not sure if it's been commented yet, but since you are visiting different countries and checking on different "strongman" cultures, I highly encourage y'all to go to Japan and check up on Sumo. Not only are the fighters EXTREMELY strong, with an extremely rigorous training regimen and lifestyle (sumo is first and foremost a religious and cultural rite and a fighting style second), but it'll end up looping back towards both Mongolia and Georgia. For one, for the past 20 years Sumo has been utterly dominated by Mongolians, who brought much of their knowledge of Bokh, innovating what is a centuries old tradition, but the biggest and most dominant Sumo champion ever, Hakuho Sho, is the son of arguably a top 3 Bokh contender of all time and Mongolia's first olympic medalist Jigjidiin Monkhbat. As for Georgia, we have recently retired from Sumo, Tochinoshin Tsuyoshi, who regularly lifted and carried out of the ring opponents near or above 200kg, an absolute machine of a wrestler. I'm sure you'll have an absolute blast knowing how strong and disciplined these men can get.
It’s the plan!
Now *that* sounds awesome!!!
what type of exercise this mongolian wrestler do please tell me ?
Nice episode bro, i welcome you in our Mongolia, land of blue sky and stronk wrestlers🎉
Make a show like this about wrestling in and around Edirne, Türkiye. 🇹🇷
this is a top tier production. Martins narration is just epic
Thank you for making this Martins, love and peace from Cyprus.
I did it for fun a few times whilst living in Mongolia but my biggest regret now that I’m a Jiu Jitsu practitioner is that I did not train Mongolian wrestling whilst living there
The energy in the gully cricket video by 4RA, just wow, makes you feel with their gamification you can win anywhere in life 🌟🏏
Love these documentaries! A warm welcome from Scotland! I hope it doesn't rain too much when you're here 😀
This is like No Reservations, but about the history of strength. Love this, it deserves all the views ❤
I followed Chanel earlier too! But your films are now much better than a dukomentation. I think that's really great. Thank you for your efforts. Kind regards from Hamburg, Germany
this right here i need more of this! I love this thank you respecting them as much as you can.
The real hero to all this is to whoever is helping you maintain your diet through all the travel!
Martins, this series is unbelievable. You are a genius!
I honestly love the vibe of this series. Just wish that each adventure into unknown strength traditions went a bit more in depth. Multiple times I've watched a video now with the assumption is was a trailer for more to come. Would love longer videos with more interaction from Martins into the subject, just like in the Basque episodes. Keep up the work, it's very refreshing to watch this kind of content.
Mongolia has some of my favorite history to learn about.
Absolutely Awesome! Can' t wait to see more. Much respect & love.
I love this documentary-ish vlog about strength. Hope you explore more.
Naadam is not just wrestling. There is also horse racing and dancing and archery. It is kind of like a county fair. It happens all over Mongolia. We went to a Naadam festival in a remote area in Mongolia (nation of Mongolia, not inner Mongolia). We were the only people there who were not from Mongolia. The wrestlers we saw were just the local people. It looks like the wrestlers in this video were probably the best of the best.
Inner Mongolia is where the true Mongolian culture and language has been truly preserved. The country of Mongolia speaks Russian and the culture is heavily influenced by the Soviets/Russians. It's inverse of whatever the western media says. Good on you for knowing where to go to experience true Mongolian culture.
Thx Martin for bringing all these treasures to the comfort of our homes ❤️🙏
What an incredible thing to watch.
I went to China in 1985. Part of the tour took me to Hohhot, and from there a tour bus to a commune out in the countryside, where we spent the day. I saw an old classical-looking building in the middle of the commune and walked over and peeked through the crack between the two sides of he door. I saw large bags piled up on the floor, but I could see on the far wall what looked like the tankas, sacred icons of Tibetan Buddhism. I realized that this commune was being built on the grounds of a confiscated monastery. Emotionally moved but what I imagined what must have happened, I pressed my two palms together and bowed reverently. As I did, I heard someone passing by me spit. Later, I spotted a painting on an outer wall I think it's called the Wheel of Existence? I asked our guide and he said something like, "See the animals in the center? Those are the animals that Buddhists hate." Later, I read that the snake Later, I read that those animals, the rooster, the pig and the snake represent greed, hatred and envy. When I looked at your video and saw people worshipping, I hoped that China had lightened up on its persecution of religions. They must have realized their bigotry turns off many tourists!
So this is why there are so many yokozunas from mongolia and why Hakuho is such a legend, they already have a robust wrestling culture there
I’m a crochet artist , I don’t know how I got here but I am here for it.
This was an awesome vid Martins… I miss seeing stuff like this on History channel back in the day. Even cooler to see one of my favorite strongmen doing it!!
