MAS Wrestling is the international name used for the ruby ethnosport derived from the traditional stick-pulling game mas tard’yhyy. MAS Wrestling – National sport of Yakutia, northeastern Siberia. Reminiscent of the Eskimo stick pull featured in the World Eskimo Indian Olympics, as well as the Highland Games’ test of strength the swing tree (played with a shepherd’s crook), MAS wrestling competitions pit participants against each other. Sit, feet against the board that divides the competition area and tug on the wooden stick (MAS), making sure to start on the propping board. MAS Wrestling has its roots in the Viking Games over a thousand years ago. In the Viking sagas it was called “kjevletrekk” in Norse and was an integral part of physical education for millennia. MAS wrestling demands agility and tremendous muscle strength from the arms, legs, back and stomach, and is one of the best tests of functional strength.
