Mas-Wrestling led the martial arts parade in Moscow

As a rule, eminent athletes from Yakutia were involved in such presentations as representatives of the homeland of the sport. But the situation has changed due to the pandemic, and they’ve been replaced by new characters. I would like to introduce our heroes to a wide audience.

Daria: We presented Mas-Wrestling at the opening of the Moscow student martial arts games. Thanks for the invitation! Glad to be part of such a team! We performed live on the Yakut khomus - it was mesmerizing.

As a child and student, I performed a lot with dance performances. Now, of course, it’s very rare to get involved in any performance, so I’m happy to take the opportunity. The stage beckons, whoever performed they will understand me.

Mas-Wrestling teaches the ability to react quickly, analyze and make decisions, coordinate and balance, and discipline. And, of course, it keeps you on your toes.

It is also a large and friendly community. Many athletes from different regions have already become good friends. We constantly meet at competitions and festivals, communicate, support each other».

Anna Vaganova: «Mas-wrestling? They need to breathe».

She works as a courier. Graduating from the Ural State Pedagogical University. 

The fighting character of this girl was forged in the Urals. She was born in Yekaterinburg. From the age of seven she was engaged in all-around. At the age of 14, she went to women's football. Thanks to her hard work, she got into the Russian junior national football team. Then she started playing futsal and reached the Major League. She plays football to this day. She is also engaged in karate.

She fell in love with Mas-Wrestling as soon as she saw it. Arsen Mangikyan, with whom she worked, introduced to her Mas-Wrestling. Then she contacted the head of the Ural Mas-Wrestling Federation Alexei Kazakov and surprised him with her quick successes.

Anna: «We all became very good friends during all the competitions and became a team. I went to training with Andrei Markin, consulted with Svetlana Tikhonova and Marina Ruban. I have been competing for the Sverdlovsk Region for two years.

My idols are Irina Sevryuk, Natalia Chernogradskaya. They are for me the most top mas-wrestlers. There is someone to look up to.

My main fan is my grandmother Raisa Alekseevna Fomina. She loves all kinds of martial arts, boxing, ultimate fighting, biathlon. And now there is also Mas-Wrestling. I give her my warmest regards!»

The All-Russian Mas-Wrestling Federation thanks the fellow countrymen for the support of the sports composition (playing the khomus).

Aytal Myrsanov - Khomus Bootur - head of the ethno - Khomus tutula music school, khomus player - improviser, multiple winner of all-Russian and international festivals and competitions.

In the process, we were pleasantly surprised by the fact that Aytal was seriously engaged in Mas-Wrestling. He even took second place at the prestigious Golden Stick competition, which attracts hundreds of participants. We have no doubt that with his physical shape he could have good prospects in Mas-Wrestling. But creativity has taken him up and the khomus led him to the big world. He’s already toured 23 countries around the world, which, of course, is impressive. He has fans and students all over the world.

I don't want waste my time describing his skill. Just listen to his virtuous playing.

Tuyara Chiryaeva is an investor support manager at a financial company. Graduated from the Faculty of Economics, Moscow State University. She loves sports and outdoor activities. Interests - investments in securities. Nowadays, in the capital there are few people who can be counted on in terms of organization. «Moscow does not believe in tears». All athletes are directly involved in the competitive program. When we were preparing the Olympic day in Luzhniki, a completely unfamiliar girl came to help us when I just turned to her on social networks. It was Tuyara. We’re really glad she’s on our team now.

The audience for our presentation group responded enthusiastically. Most of all I liked the excitement of the little spectators: “Cool!”, “I liked Mas-Wrestling the most!”, “I would like to try”. Why not a big deal?
