  • The Great Gama: Lion of The Punjab

    • The Great Gama is likely the greatest Pehlwan, or indian wrestler, who ever lived; as he was undefeated in over 5000 matches.

    Gama publically challenged all comers and easily beat the likes of Benjamin Roller and Stanislaus Zbyszko.

    His daily training routine consisted of thousands of traditional squats and pushups -- after seeing him train, many would-be challengers wanted no part of him.

    The object he is seen holding here was not a piece of training equipment but an ornamental scepter known as a Gurz, the Indian Wrestling version of the Championship Belt.
