Alysh, also known as belt wrestling or wrestling on belts, is a wrestling sport designed to unite various national wrestling styles under a common framework[1]. The word 'Alysh' is Turkish in origin, and means "fighting to determine the strongest opponent"[2].

Alysh is an upright wrestling style. Competitors wear trousers, jackets and belts, and must hold on to their opponents' belts at all times. Their objective is to throw their opponents onto the mat. Throws are given scores between 1 and 6, based on what part of the opponent lands on the mat. The first player to win 6 points wins the match.

Alysh is governed by the International Federation of Wrestling on Belts "Alysh" (IFWBA), and is recognized by the International Federation of Associated Wrestling Styles (FILA).
