PHYSICAL: WELCOME TO MONGOLIA

BÖKH TRAINING CENTER

I don't like this at all.

It's too scary here.

Look at this place.

THE ATHLETES GREET THEM WITH APPLAUSE

ORKHON'S BÖKH TEAM

BÖKH: YOU LOSE IF ANY PART OF YOUR BODY EXCEPT HANDS OR FEET TOUCH THE GROUND

Everyone looks really strong.

It's insane.

All athletes share the same expression.

It's like seeing Korean judokas and wrestlers.

Their attire…

I think I feel intimidated because of their attire.

It's their attire, shoes, and everything.

Wow.

Today is all about you two,

so pick the strongest opponents and face them.

- Why? - Choose the biggest person.

Go easy on us.

I thought today

we could just watch Orkhon train…

Amotti.

Amotti.

ORKHON'S TEAMMATE: DARMAAJANTSAN

Who's stronger?

I'll show you later.

I don't think I've ever seen him this excited.

Why are you so excited?

He's picking on us.

Don't pick on weak people like us.

- Amotti! - Yes?

Hurry, let's toss him up together.

Please!

A VERY ENTHUSIASTIC WELCOME

That's scary.

Wow.

We prepared traditional Bökh attire for Amotti and Dong-hyun.

It's from everyone on our wrestling team.

But I really like what I have on.

I like what I'm wearing.

This is really nice.

It's warm.

I hope you'll be good students.

Okay.

I hope you become a good wrestler.

I'll soon be 50 years old.

I can't even untie this.

I'm so old that I can't even untie it.

Amotti.

Got it.

What a clever idea.

Great.

Okay.

Is this underwear?

- Undies? - Shuudag.

This is pretty revealing.

Mongolian wrestlers deeply value this attire,

so they never set it down below the hips.

So you hold it up like this?

When you take a break, you put it around your neck like this.

- Like this? - Yes.

Come on, let's go and change.

2ND MINI QUEST: PUSHED TO THE LIMIT

STARTS BY PERFORMING ENTRY RITUAL

REMOVES HAT AS A SIGN OF RESPECT

ROUND 1: ORKHONBAYAR VS. DARMAAJANTSAN

This is my stage.

This match is mine.

I'm curious because they say Orkhon is the best here.

CALMLY FEEL EACH OTHER OUT

ORKHON MAKES THE FIRST MOVE

DARMAA SUCCESSFULLY BLOCKS IT

Come on, Darmaa!

They are neck and neck.

FLIPS HIM IN ONE MOTION

THE WINNER SPREADS HIS WINGS

Only the winner does that?

WINNER

TEAM ORKHONBAYAR WINS ROUND 1

THE LOSER PASSES UNDER THE WINNER'S ARM PER TRADITION

THE NEXT COMPETITORS WARM UP

ROUND 2: AMOTTI VS. USUKHBAYAR (18 YEARS OLD)

The wrestler I feel most pressured by

is absolutely nobody.

I'll make sure to win.

What happened? It's over already?

A SINGLE PULL ENDS THE MATCH

What the heck?

He's too strong.

ROUND 2: REMATCH (AT AMOTTI'S REQUEST)

Jeez.

GET IT TOGETHER!

EASILY DODGES

I've never played

any kind of contact sport.

But I'll still try my best.

THE MOMENT AMOTTI MAKES A MOVE

HE GETS PULLED AND TOSSED ASIDE

I think they picked the wrong opponent for me.

They chose someone way too strong,

so I didn't stand a chance.

WINNER

TEAM DARMAAJANTSAN WINS ROUND 2

HE UNTIES HIS CORD TO CONCEDE DEFEAT

Amotti, do this.

HE DOES AS HE'S TAUGHT

LAST MATCH

FINAL ROUND: OCHIR VS. KIM DONG-HYUN

The one I feel most pressured by is Kim Dong-hyun.

But I'm Mongolian,

so I know I can beat a Korean athlete.

I held my ground for the most part during UFC matches.

I'll show you what I've got.

Ochir is aggressive.

DONG-HYUN GETS CAUGHT IN A REAR HOLD

OCHIR BRACES WITH HIS CORE STRENGTH

No, no!

THEY GO DOWN AT THE SAME TIME

Who won?

VAR REVIEW

Your elbow touched the floor.

DONG-HYUN'S ELBOW HIT THE FLOOR FIRST

I'll do it right this time.

FINAL ROUND: REMATCH (AT EVERYONE'S REQUEST)

You got this!

ASSERTS HIS DOMINANCE

Who are you pulling for?

Ochir.

Ochir.

Because we're in Mongolia.

It's a Mongolian sport.

THE MATCH RESUMES

Show us what you've got!

HANDS CAN TOUCH THE GROUND

I can't get a grip on him.

Where can I grab him?

Wow, they're so competitive.

What was that for?

What was that for?

What is it?

Why did he hit me?

What for?

A GESTURE OF ENCOURAGEMENT

GRAPPLING HAND TO HAND

He engaged his back muscles to stay balanced.

I've never seen an athlete like him before.

How am I supposed to take him down?

You got this!

Come on, Dong-hyun!

What the heck?

What the heck?

THIS IS INSANE

IT'S LIKE A CIRCUS

He won't go down.

Jeez, come on.

He won't go down.

I can't flip him.

He won't go down. His balance is insane.

SOLID BACK MUSCLES

I saw Ochir's grit and tenacity.

He was really something.

With that skill, I felt he should take first place.

Hey!

My undies.

OCHIR GRABS ONTO DONG-HYUN'S UNDIES

Hey.

Hey!

That's my behind!

Hey!

HELPLESS AGAINST THE UNDIES ATTACK

OCHIR ATTACKS WHILE DONG-HYUN IS OFF GUARD

Who won?

DONG-HYUN'S ELBOW HIT THE FLOOR FIRST

Jeez, how humiliating.

I didn't know you could grab inside the undies too.

Ochir said it was his first time, but clearly it wasn't.

USING YOUR OPPONENT'S ATTIRE IS ALSO A SKILL

THE LOSER PASSES UNDER THE WINNER'S ARM

VICTORY RITUAL

So cool.

TEAM ORKHONBAYAR WINS ROUND 3

WINNER: ORKHONBAYAR, AMOTTI, LKHAGVA-OCHIR

It was a pleasure to have

such amazing people join us for today's training.

Now let's raise our voices and sing with confidence.

"MY BELOVED HOMELAND" (MY BELOVED HOMELAND, FOREVER IN MY HEART)

REGARDED AS MONGOLIA'S "SECOND ANTHEM,"

THIS PATRIOTIC SONG IS OFTEN SUNG AT NATIONAL CELEBRATIONS LIKE NAADAM

DOING AN INTERVIEW

What is it?

What are you doing?

DONG-HYUN & AMOTTI VS. ORKHON

They're like little kids.

TRIES THE UNDIES-GRABBING TECHNIQUE

PHYSICAL: WELCOME TO MONGOLIA

Wow, what's all this?

Holy cow.

This is amazing.

Look at the meat!

There's Japanese food, Korean food,

Mongolian food, and everything.

FAREWELL DINNER

Tonight's dinner has been prepared by Team Mongolia.

- Gosh. - Thank you.

Thank you.

It's like the meal we had before the final match in Physical: Asia.

What do I dip this in?

This sauce?

This meat is delicious.

It's so good.

This looks really good.

ADIYASUREN TEAM MONGOLIA

Good to see you.

- Wow. - You really scared me.

Seriously.

You scared me more.

Gosh, my heart…

I flew up about 10 cm.

I jumped.

- I saw it coming and still got startled. - You came running.

So that's why there are empty seats.

He jumped up like a grasshopper.

Then who is this seat for?

- Is someone else coming? - Another surprise?

A REASONABLE ASSUMPTION

Yun Sung-bin?

Seriously, maybe it's him.

Sung-bin.

Hey!

Just kidding.

Acting isn't for you.

Actually, Dulguun and I were going to surprise you together,

but he had a game today, so he couldn't come.

I see.

He had a game?

DULGUUN'S SEAT

I think Team Korea members meet up pretty often.

Maybe not altogether,

but we'll meet in small groups and work out and such.

Do Team Mongolia members meet up often?

We haven't had the time.

Everyone has been very busy with their own training and work.

All of you are still active athletes,

and Khandsuren plays in the Japanese league.

But for us…

I…

I'm retired.

I'm an elder,

so I have a lot of time to hang out.

You won Physical: Asia, so you're not an elder.

I'll help you make it to the UFC.

Yeah.

UFC and Bökh.

I want to go against you two in judo

and win.

Amotti!

Please don't.

I saw you use judo techniques while doing Bökh today.

You used three judo moves on me.

You tried to take me down.

Right, I did.

You almost fell, then recovered.

Almost fall, then recover.

I didn't know how to defend against it.

He was this close to the floor.

Ochir doesn't have any bones,

so he just bends backward.

That's so true.

I thought I took him down,

but then…

Seriously.

You thought you won a few times, right?

You're really something.

That's me.

Amotti ended up cheering for Mongolia.

He was the underdog in terms of weight,

so that's why I cheered for him.

What makes Bökh distinctive is that there are no weight classes.

By the way, Adiyasuren,

Korea is also good when it comes to judo.

Have you gone to Korea for training camp?

I went there for training camp a couple of times a while back.

I had a great time with the Korean athletes,

and the food was really good.

I've really liked Korean food since then.

Kimchi jjigae.

- Kimchi jjigae? - Wow.

There's a really good kimchi jjigae place.

They only sell kimchi jjigae.

- Kimchi? - Seriously.

They put tons of meat in their kimchi jjigae.

Just let us know,

and Amotti will handle it.

He'll take care of everything.

I'll show you the full experience.

Amotti will buy you everything at Olive Young.

You might age suddenly.

I see.

I want to learn that phrase.

The subtitles said, "Warriors, mount up!"

-Daichid, - Daichid,

morindoo!

Daichid morindoo.

If that's your memorable moment,

mine is when they counted, "One, two, three."

The feeling that washed over me during the wall pushing match…

-Neg khoyor gurav. - Neg khoyor gurav.

-Neg khoyor gurav. - Neg khoyor gurav.

Let's push. Neg khoyor gurav!

After the final match,

Ochir went to the Mongolian flag

and showed a gesture of respect like this.

He did something like that.

Is that a traditional Mongolian ritual?

It's hard to give a clear-cut answer.

Even though it was a small flag,

it embodied everything our country stands for.

That small flag felt bigger than anything else in my heart.

So I think my body just reacted to what I was feeling.

Before I knew it, I was kneeling and paying my respects.

- It really resonated with me. - That scene was touching.

In Korea,

people talk about how we won and congratulate us,

but more than that,

they say how amazing Team Mongolia was.

Even though a winner was declared in the final match,

it didn't feel like anyone lost.

It felt like both teams had won.

I think that was the result of the match.

Right. It's not every day that you see competitions end like this.

This particular show was created

because Orkhon said

that Team Mongolia would win first place and invite Team Korea.

That's how all of this started.

It's obvious how much you love Mongolia.

We really appreciate both of you

taking the time to come all the way here.

Even though the trip was short,

it was full of good, lasting memories.

We had a truly wonderful time,

and it was the most meaningful and heartfelt experience of the year.

I never thought this would actually happen.

But it did come true,

and I'm happy that I spent quality time

with good friends.

Every photo we took was a masterpiece,

like the plains of Mongolia.

My friend said his dream destination was Mongolia.

And now I know why.

We tried our best to share with you

Mongolia's most beautiful culture and traditions

during your brief visit.

I hope our friendship lasts for many years to come.

And as always, we'll greet you with, "Welcome to Mongolia."

We'll see you again.

Let's see each other in Korea.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Thank you so much for inviting us.

KIM DONG-HYUN & AMOTTI

-Neg khoyor gurav. - Neg khoyor gurav.
