It is true that kurash has a great importance in upbringing healthy generation. In
every respect, it strengthens the defensive might of the country and improves military
service. Obviously, kurash is the most valuable factor that plays a vital role in shaping a
unanimous nation. Not only is kurash the skill of fighting physically with opponents, but
it also brings up youth in the spirit of humanity and culture [2, 3]. Kurash is incarnated
with the following ideas that sport teaches to admit bravery, honesty and integrity,
victory and failure, and to respect opponents, coaches, spectators and referees. In this
article, we will discuss the philosophy and social importance of kurash.
Kurash helps to upbring every young people in the spirit of being patriotic to his or
her Motherland and loyal to the country. How the kurash athletes are patriotic, or how
much they have loyalty and honesty, and their spirits in kindness to their Fatherland to
be clarified in the process of doing exercises, preparing for crucial competitions, and
esteeming themselves during the results of the games.
Athletes who are never defeated are presenting this perfectly and showing
examples of how they are in the patriotic and human spirit. In reality, kurash is
considered a means of upbringing young people in physical hardening.
Of course, first, kurash was a valuable custom of the Uzbek nation, which caused it
to develop completely; second, kurash has a vital role in shaping young generations to be
spiritually perfect. Since the tendency and ideas are fair, it increases the feelings of the
person to a higher degree. Indeed, kurash is spiritually connected with the life of the
Uzbek nation as it exists in the heredity of Uzbek people.
Worldwide, all countries emphasize raising youth health and intellectual skill in
every respect. In the system of education, healthcare, sport, and other different spheres
in society are becoming wanted consequences in both enhancing and developing
education systems. The necessity of working out efficient organizational-pedagogical
factors based on national and global traditions and customs is widely illustrated in some
special programs. In return for these chances together with kindness and attention,
young people should have a duty to achieve higher results by showing their real abilities
in international tournaments and Olympiads.
The role of the types of national sports, especially kurash, is huge in terms of
bringing up a spiritually perfect and creatively intellectual generation.
The long history of kurash was glorified as a sample for the perfection of athletes.
Physical strength; adroitness; behaving modestly among people; conduct; spiritual
appearance; attitudes towards opponents, referees, carpets, and spectators; and other
characteristics of kurash athletes have special significance.
Many legends were created about kurash athletes in ancient times. Being an
athlete in the nation is a cultural and great heritage. This custom and heritage are still
deepl
y valued and will also be respected in the future. In today’s world, many countries
are paying attention to respecting athletes and appreciating them with wide respect.
The philosophy of kurash is very comprehensive today. It corresponds with the
cultural aspects of physical training. In this field, some scientists have carried out
different investigations (for example, Uzbekistan, India, Turkey, and others). In
particular, they gathered a great deal of information about learning scientific,
philosophical, social and cultural knowledge of kurash. Several scientists such Rafiev
(Uzbekistan, Samarkand), Ibrokhimov (died) and Toshpulatov (Uzbekistan,
Surkhandarya), Atoev (Uzbekistan, Bukhara), Akhmedov (Uzbekistan, Jizakh) provided
crucial information about the philosophical and pedagogical aspects of sports, especially
kurash, in their research.

Divers’ views and opinions about kurash were notified in international and
national meetings and conferences. The works of academic Tulenov, Professors Murodov,
Koraboev, Jabborov, Javliev, Homidov, Musurmonova, Davletshin, Nasriddinov,
Usmonkhujaev and Abdumalikov are absolutely essential.
Organizing development not only among the young generation but also among
elderly people is leading to the formation of a healthy lifestyle. Kurash is being developed
step by step among youth since it is an inseparable part of culture and life.
People confess that the role of kurash in the upbringing of the person is
pedagogically high. To prove the abovementioned opinions and views, clarifying the
conditions of kurash is suitable. First, making a bow (tazim) before the contest for each
other is a symbol to show the most honourable virtues of humanity. Opponents bowing
each other means that they are opponents only over the “gilam”. Thes
e actions are
embodied with strong respect toward one another.
Kurash means fighting, discussing and arguing. Kurash contains actions and
conditions that include special physical exercises. Together with this, the special
character of kurash is hugely important in the growth of the person. The development of
society leads to the improvement of culture. In today’s life, kurash has a huge significance
in society.
In recent years, investigations directed at learning the aspects of sport and its role
have been to a high degree in the lifestyles of people. Over this issue, specialists in physical
training and sports and psychologists have carried out studies and achieved different
scientific, methodological, and theoretical resources to diverse degrees (V.D. Panachaev,
N.I. Ponomarev, L.P. Matveev, Y. Masharipov, R.S. Salamov, L.I. Lubisheva).
Toward athletes who won in competitions and tournaments, “athlete”, “winner”
and “champion” words were widely used to describe them.
Most people were envious of
these fighters; as a consequence, great enthusiasm appeared in ordinary people to
participate in kurash competitions. Usually, people have a tendency to appreciate kurash
as a symbol of winners and champions.
It is clear that sports have some special and general functions. According to the
theory of sports, there are some tasks in sports: a competition task, a healthy task, an
idea task, an ethic task, an educational and moral task, social task, a social and political
tasks, and an international task. In addition, it is noted in certain resources that sport
plays a major role in bringing up patriotism. Sport is not just to define the results or to
show abilities of physical opportunities, but it is also connected with human upbringing,
and it is a human factor. Being received as an international sport and is improved over
the respect years, kurash has been regarded as suitable for general standards.
As pointed out in the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan “On Physical Training and
sport” (new edition, September 4, 2015), national types of sports and national games are
indivisible parts of physical training and sports in the field of the cultural heritage of the
Republic of Uzbekistan, and further sports paves the way for upbringing youth in the
spirit of attempting to spread the country’s reputation.
It is real that national sports
types, social development, and shaping are interconnected with bringing up the young
generation in a patriotic mood. For example, kurash contains respecting opponents and
defending self-esteem on the basis of philosophical and moral opinions [3]. The ideas of
patriotism, humanism, peace, and peace-loving and making the nation industrious are
incarnated in the historical development and formation of kurash. For peace, patriotism,
humanism, and industry have been appreciated and honoured as national values.

As kurash is a humanitarian value, it is reflected in the character of humanism.
Simply, it can be seen that kurash is just a type of sport after the particular preparation of
athletes or attempts to defeat one another in competitions. However, the rule of
competitions and general standards of kurash have such requirements for kurash
athletes, referees, coaches, and other participants that in the competition process will be
formed and brought up in accordance with sports programs and values of humanity. It is
vitally essential to hold sports competitions and physical trainings without any damage
to the health of spectators and participants. It is prohibited to use dangerous methods to
prepare that might cause injuries or humiliation of sportsmen’s honour and virtues.
The rules of kurash competitions are worked out in a special way such that
athletes must obey the rules. At the same time, kurash respects its high humanism
character.
Worldwide, maintaining the health of people is a satisfying condition, and
improving it perfectly is a basic duty of medicine. There is a notion in the medical world
that “Instead of treating disease, it is preferable to prevent it”. In contemporary life,
where technology has advanced, being passive (because many things are done by
technology) brings about several issues, especially disease, including obesity. Performing
exercises regularly on the basis of schedule provides the organism of the div with the
necessity to be active. Then, wanted consequences, including healthy organisms and
strong bodies, can be achieved. This is one of the important reasons why kurash is deeply
valued as humanism.
Today’s global circumstance is resulting in different negative issues, coupled with
terrorism, religious extremism, and illegal drug trafficking. These problems hardly fail to
affect the lives of people, society, and the country. Modern kurash is trying to bring up
every kurash athlete or participant in accordance with the goal, not just to obtain higher
results from training or competitions.
The modern Olympic Games propagandist prominent French statesman Pierre de
Coubertin organized the Olympic Games, which were of great importance for humanity
and were received as a means of educating and upbringing. After the Second Cold World
War, organizing Asian Games owing to the enterprising of India was about enhancing
welfare programs and keeping peace and unanimity among the nations. Therefore,
people should have a duty to develop kurash and value it as a humanist character.
It is crucial to make kurash more common among people to propagate this
propaganda. In particular, we aim to show the scientific-methodological bases of kurash
and organize investigations about the theory of kurash and its methodology. Knowledge
of kurash should be briefly developed. The created land written literature of kurash has
made great contributions to the development of kurash. However, achieving fast-term
development in the field of sports requires adding kurash to the Olympic Games and
creating more successful literature about kurash and investigations [5]. It can be said
proudly that there are any opportunities to enhance and improve science, education,
sports and other fields.
Carrying out different studies and organizing investigations are becoming a major
factors, and they are currently a crucial task for coaches, referees, scientists, and
specialists. Since, the world should know that kurash is the oldest type of wrestling and
under the meaning of kurash, there are honesty, bravery, and patriotism that are the
most valuable virtues for people.
