Malla Vidya vanishing in Braj The traditional Malla Vidya of Braj is vanishing because the clay wrestling has now reached the mattresses.
Wrestlers practicing in clay akhadas are rarely seen. The wrestlers who came out of the clay arena have been making the district proud with their excellent performance, but now this knowledge is on the verge of extinction, now the practice of wrestlers in the clay arena is decreasing.
The reason for this is that wrestling from district to state, national and international level is done only on mattresses, in which wrestlers who practice in clay arena are not able to perform well and lag behind other wrestlers. Captain Mukhtiyar, Inspector Shivale Pehlwan, Umesh Pehlwan, Devendra Pehlwan, Hariom Pehlwan, Hanuman Pehlwan and Murari Pehlwan have been mainly involved in the best wrestlers practicing wrestling in the clay arena.
He has made the district proud by winning wrestling at various levels. Late Mohan Pahalwan has also been a renowned wrestler of the district. He has received national award in wrestling. Many stories of his wrestling are famous. These wrestlers got a government job Captain Mukhtiar wrestler got a job in the army in the wrestling category from the sports quota, he also won two gold medals in the Commonwealth Games, he was awarded the Arjuna Award.
Shivale wrestler got a job in CISF from sports quota, took VRS in the year 2016 and is currently operating Gopal Ashram akhada, in such a situation dozens of young men and women are practicing both in clay akhada and mattresses. Among the present wrestlers, Devendra wrestler resident Baldev is posted in Madhya Pradesh in sports quota. Brother Harendra got a job in the army. Harendra is the Sports India coach from Sai.

Wrestlers running the Gopal Ashram Akhara say that the main reason for wrestlers practicing less on clay is that the government championships are not held on clay but on mattresses. In the wrestling on the mats there is victory and defeat on points whereas in the clay arena, the victory and defeat is less.
Results are not available here. Because of this, now few wrestlers are seen practicing wrestling in the mud arena. According to the same Ved Prakash Pandey, clay wrestling is beneficial in the initial stages, due to which the young wrestlers are filled with enthusiasm and strength.
But keeping in mind the coming time, it is best to do mattress wrestling keeping in mind the points in which the victory and defeat of the wrestlers can be decided. Mattress wrestling is also considered the best in terms of agility and enthusiasm, because somewhere along with technique, speed is also seen in mattress wrestling.
