Therefore, the competitions allow to conduct a clean and fair wrestling and reveal the absolute winner. The great nomad wrestling is carried out without taking into account the weight of wrestlers (Openweight). After all, in ancient times there were no scales, and in the competition, the greatest bogatyrs were the most successful. In them only the absolute winner was revealed without defining the second, third, etc. places, because then the wrestling used to be conducted on the principle: "The great winner is one, all the rest are equal (losers)!".
In the great nomad wrestling, only the winners of other types of wrestling take part, who in the competition represent their nation, the country and their type of martial arts.

The rules of the Great nomad wrestling, the types of tricks, the procedure for determining the winners were borrowed from the rules of traditional forms of struggle of the Azerbaijani, Iranian, Turkish, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Uzbek, Russian, Turkmen, Mongolian, Tatar, Japanese and other ethnic groups and nations of the world.

In those distant times, when the two warring nations met, the outcome of the battle, in some cases, was decided not in a mass battle with a large number of victims, but in the wrestling of the giants against each other. Each wrestler entered the arena in national dress, he welcomed his rival, thus paying tribute to his people.
