Abstract
The article attempts to reconstruct the ancient rules of the traditional type of wrestling of the Sakha people. The authors note that the active promotion and development of traditional games and competitions with the imposition of on official sports status leads to significant changes in the rules and canons embedded in the inner essence of traditional games and competitions. Consequently, any kind of physical activity, including ethnic types of competitions, games with the status of a «sports discipline», firstly, transcend national, ethnic boundaries, and secondly, «sports» are characterized by regular changes and updates to the rules of competitions, for the sake of various «good» goals, such as: «popularization», «injury reduction», etc. As historical experience shows, the unification of the Yakut traditional types of wrestling in the 20–30’s of the last century, in particular the development of unified rules, contributed to the fact that in 1945 rules for two traditional Yakut types of wrestling were identified and formulated: kurdahan tustuu (belt wrestling) and hapsagay. However, the designation of two separate sports did not contribute to the development of both athletic discipline, and today, kurdahan tustuu (belt wrestling) is almost forgotten in our republic. Therefore, the authors argue that up to 20–30’s of the 20th century, the Yakut traditional wrestling included elements of wrestling that allowed leg holds (syaliya) and belt holds.
