Good thing we have modern people to undo all their hard work
One time, I met a tribal warrior from an indigenous Amazon rainforest tribe. He was the son of the tribe's chief, actually.
To illustrate the form of tribal wrestling that his and the other tribes compete in, and at which he was some sort of master, he unexpectedly put me into a headlock and threw me to the floor of my office.
Oh a Susato takedown!.
