[edit] mullayuddha is disputed
No where will you find that mulla yuddha is written as a true wrestling martial art. It was taken from an e-mail to a website and one user (freedom skies) has unfortunately stretched it to claim that mulla yuddha came from the religious epics with Bhima practicing mulla yuddha. Alter in his book writes that mullayuddha is a generic term for wrestling. Kennethtennyson 00:54, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia does not subscribe to your definitions of true martial arts and untrue ones. Live with it.
It was taken from an e-mail to a website and one user (freedom skies) has unfortunately stretched it to claim that mulla yaddha came from the religious epics with Bhima practicing mulla yuddha.
This art has very real practitioners as described in the book by Joseph Alter. This is in addition to ancient arenas devoted to this art in India.
There was an edit war and then we all agreed on a compromise with mullayaddha staying in the text.
This edit war involved editors who contributed to material which was actually put into articles. Unlike our Kenny here.
Alter in his book on Indian Wrestling writes that mullayuddha is a generic term for wrestling.
Plain and white lie. Alter translates it to wrestling combat.

Why does this article have so little information while the article on Pehlwani has information that is more relevant to malla-yuddha? -Morinae 04:16, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
