Kushti is a traditional mud-wrestling sport in India with roots dating back 2,500 years. Wrestlers leave their hometowns as children to live and train at wrestling academies, called talims. The lifestyle is extremely disciplined: They wake up at 4 a.m. to train six days a week and rarely get the chance to see their families.
