The system of traditional national physical education has passed the test of millennia. Its most developed and perfected aspect is the unity of physical and spiritual education. All national traditions and folk games are aimed at bringing up not only a healthy and physically strong, but also a morally pure younger generation.

In his speeches, National Leader of the Turkmen people, Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov emphasises the need to safeguard and study the historical and cultural heritage and enrich the national values. This can fully be applied to the rich heritage of folk games accumulated over a long history.
