At all times, every nation has made it a priority to keep the generations healthy and strong. Thus, special importance has been attached to the training of young people in national games, which have developed into modern sports. Our valiant ancestors taught young men how to ride, shoot, and wrestle from an early age.

The national games helped the young men to develop such skills as endurance, agility, grip and ingenuity. The Turkmen young men rode horses and defended their Motherland at a young age.
