ancient Indian struggle called kushti, young boys, often from poor families, or saved from the street, live in the school training hard. Religious rules educate the boys, some are, no sex, no alcohol, prayer and wake up at 4 in the morning. they fight in red clay rings, called "Akhada" The aim is to focus on a pure lifestyle to build strength. traditional kushti is experiencing a period of profound crisis, losing contact with the red earth replaced by mats and losing the philosophy that characterizes it due to a process of social modernization that tends to devalue the spiritual aspect
