Öğe Traditional “Karakucak” Wrestling and Its Applications in Turkey(NOVA SCIENCE PUBLISHERS, 2021) Gül, Mehmet; Özkurt, BurhanWrestling is one of the most important sports branches that are loved and widely practised by the old and new Turkish peoples. We have seen that various types of wrestling throughout history are still alive today. “Karakucak” wrestling, which is one of these wrestling styles, is lean wrestling peculiar to Turks of Oghuz origin. It is the oldest Turkish wrestling in Anatolia. This type of wrestling, which had the opportunity to offer modern free wrestling infrastructure until about 30 years ago, has been endangered with the effect of globalization, like many traditional structures. While “Karakucak” wrestling was encountered in almost all of the festivities, weddings and festivals that were previously organized, today it is, unfortunately, losing its popularity and continues to exist with the efforts of those who love this sport. “Karakucak” wrestling is one of the cultural elements of Turkish society and in this sense, it is necessary to protect and structure of “Karakucak” wrestling like many traditional structures to maintain the social culture. Wrestling, which is as old as human history, is one of the best examples of the struggle of two creatures. (Arslan, 1984: 4; Türkmen et al., 2006: 79). Wrestling is a combat sport that has always existed as a part of the daily life of the people who progressed with the development of civilization that started with the existence of human communities in the world (Bulut, 1996: 52).Öğe Traditional Oil Wrestling in Turkey(NOVA SCIENCE PUBLISHERS, 2021) Uzun, Recepnur; Gül, MehmetOnce the Turks arrived in Asia Minor on the saddle of a horse’s back, they brought about not only their material belongings but also their lifestyles and traditional cultures (Türkmen, 2016: 78). Oil wrestling has been one of the most important traditions to survive as introduced by the Turks (Ercengiz, 2018: 6). One can argue that oil wrestling, which is an unparalleled cultural image that grew into a symbol of the Turkic and Islamic cultures around Karakorum, the Altai Mountains and the Tian Shan to survive with an almost intact form, was performed by the ancient communities 4500 years ago. Besides, it began to spread out from the Thrace and the Balkans (World Ethnosport Confederation [DEF], 2018; Sazak and Eyüboğlu, 2009: 10). Therefore, oil wrestling, an ancestral sport, was introduced to the Balkans by the Rumelian Turks who set foot in the land (Hatipler, 2009: 13). Oil wrestling is one of the traditional types of wrestling to stand for gallantry, bravery, honesty, benevolence, velour and generosity. Oil wrestling is one of the Turkish sports equipped with a variety of cultural elements, unique traditional/customary practices and forms of organization, and it has been influenced by the lifestyles of Turks and Islam (Söyler et al., 2017: 231). Therefore, the Turks have organized oil wrestling as a part of social festivities under the theme of green and greenery (Baykara, 2001: 121).
