This section needs to be filled with information actually about Senegalese wrestling events and wrestlers. It should not only be about a BBC documentary. This is a great place to include contemporary information and the results of events. It should probably also include the names and accomplishments of recent champions and how they were covered in the news.

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Lutte sénégalaise Bercy 2013 - Mame Balla-Pape Mor Lô - 32.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on February 28, 2015. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2015-02-28. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. Thanks! — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:54, 10 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Senegalese wrestling
A Senegalese wrestling match between Mame Balla and Pape Mor Lô during the World African Wrestling world tour in Paris Bercy. This type of folk wrestling is traditionally practiced by the Serer people of Senegal and part of the larger West African form of traditional wrestling, the only such tradition to allow blows with the hands. In this form of wrestling, fighters attempt to throw their opponents to the ground by lifting them up and over, usually outside a given area.

Originating as a preparatory exercise among Serer warriors, this form of wrestling is known as njom in Serer; the term is from the Serer principle of Jom and means heart or honor. The sport is a national sport in Senegal and parts of The Gambia.Photograph: Pierre-Yves Beaudouin
