EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of intense focus and skill as Turkish wrestler Ryza Bey throws a knife in mid-air during a performance. The backdrop of the image adds an element of theatricality, with a painted knife suspended as if in flight. The series of cards at the bottom of the image hint at the diverse range of talents showcased in Turkish entertainment, from wrestling and juggling to weightlifting and strongman acts. Yagli gures, or Turkish wrestling, is the national sport of Turkey, also known as oil wrestling due to the wrestlers' use of olive oil to enhance their grip. The sport has historical roots dating back to the Ottoman Empire and is related to Uzbek Kurash, Tuvan Khuresh, and Tatar Koras. The wrestlers, known as pehlivan, wear traditional outfits called kisbet, which were once made of water buffalo hide but are now also made of calf leather. The image of Ryza Bey with knives adds an exciting twist to the traditional sport, showcasing the bravery and skill of the performer. The knife-throwing act likely added an element of danger and thrill to the wrestling performance, making it a popular attraction in the circus or traveling camp shows. The historical significance of Turkish wrestling is evident in the traditional outfit and the use of oil, while the addition of knife-throwing adds a modern and entertaining twist to the ancient sport.
