The Components of Historical Kirkpinar Oil Wrestling

The first of all the items each wrestler needs before wrestling is the clothing. The belt of the clothing, made of leather from water buffalo, water buffalo calf or calf, is four fingers' width, and thick. This part of the clothing that includes a thick rope provide a tight fit, is called a rim.


The part of the clothing that sits below the kneecap is called the flare. A material made of felt, which is called 'paçabent', is placed between the flare and the skin. The leather part is placed on top of this material and it's bound tightly with a packthread.

If the flare is not bound tightly, it becomes easier to achieve a victory due to the easy finger holding.

After the wrestling, the oiled-up clothing is placed and kept in a tote bag.
