Karakucak
Karakucak or Karakucak Güreşi is one of the two Turkish folk wrestling styles practised nationwide and sanctioned by the Turkish Wrestling Federation. Like all other Turkish folk wrestling styles, karakucak competitions are held on grass fields. Competitors wear baggy trousers (''şalvar'') or special trousers named ''pırpıt'' made of canvas or other similarly sturdy fabric. Oiling the bodies and/or garments is strictly prohibited. Apart from this, Karakucak rules resemble Turkish oil wrestling rules. Among several local styles, ''Köprülü karakucak'' practised mainly in Çukurova has rules almost identical with Olympic freestyle wrestling.

In Assyria, ancient Egypt, and Babylonia, oil wrestling was performed. It spread to Iran and Turkey during the First Achaemenid conquest of Egypt. Oil wrestling was performed by ancient communities 4,500 years ago in Thrace and the Balkans. As the Ottoman Empire extended into Europe, oil wrestling competitions have been held ceremoniously until modern times.

Thus, the wrestler aims to control his opponent by putting his arm through the latter's ''kisbet''. To win by using this move is called ''paça kazık''.
