Mud Wrestling is a traditional culture in Kolkata India. Some children have started their wrestling career since 7 years old. It is common for poor families to send their boys to train here, the children delicate themselves entirely to the local sport. They could train all day, even before the coaches are awaked from bed. They gruel all day to the tough training, strict in diet, even abstain themselves from sexual activities in the hope of achieving their dreams - to become a champion in this art, to attain glory & respect.
