Wrestling in Pakistan, known locally as koshti, has been practiced since ancient times, mainly in Punjab (Pehlwani) and Sindh (Malakhra).
Pehlwani is a form of wrestling mainly based in Punjab. It was developed during the Mughal Empire by combining varzesh-e bastani with malla-yuddha. In the 16th century, Punjab was conquered by the Central Asian Mughals, who were of Turko-Mongol descent. Through the influence of Iranian and Mongolian wrestling, they modified malla-yuddha, thereby creating Pehlwani. Babur, the first Mughal emperor, was a wrestler himself and could reportedly run very fast for a long distance while holding a man under each arm. Mughal-era wrestlers sometimes even wore bagh naka on one hand, in a variation called naki ka kushti or "claw wrestling". This form of wrestling mimics the Persian Pahlavani style of wrestling, but differs slightly in training methods and techniques. Official titles awarded to koshti champions are Rustam, a hero's name of the Persian Shahnameh epic. Wrestlers who compete in Pehlwani are referred to as pehlwan.
