The International Kurash Association has introduced a belt and international coaching level requirement for all international competitions starting in 2023.
Currently, national seminars for kurash coaches and athletes are being organized by national federations based on this demand.
Yesterday, on January 29, the National Kurash Seminar was held in Egypt for the first time.
The seminar was attended by 23 experienced experts, information was provided about the technical and tactical aspects of Kurash methods.
On the basis of the IKA E-Kurash Program, a complex of practical and theoretical trainings were held based on 7 groups and 56 methods.
At the seminar organized on the initiative of the Egyptian Kurash Federation, IKA referee, Technical Director of the Saudi Kurash Committee, Ali Shahirkhani and Technical Director of the Egyptian Kurash Federation, Rekham Mustafa, evaluated the knowledge levels of the participants as experts.

Fouad Hegazi, seminar participant:
I have been working as a judo coach in Egypt for 45 years. I am a 6th black belt.
Egypt has the most well-organized training hall. He has been teaching Judo since 1960. I inherited it from my late teacher. Did you know that you can now do kurash in this gym as well. It is our team’s honor to be the first in the history of MSR.
I already knew about Kurash. I only thought it was one of the martial arts similar to Judo. Today I changed my mind.
The history of kurash is over 3,000 years old. Its rules are in line with Islamic values. Women are allowed to fight with headscarves. I believe that the most important aspect is that painful and suffocating methods are not allowed. I was very surprised by the fact that Kurash can fight only while standing, and treat his opponent with respect.
Any work that starts with sincerity will be successful.
The most important thing for success in any field is the presence of a beating heart. This heart in me beats for kurash.
I would like to express my gratitude once again to everyone who participated and organized the seminar.
