There are though but have never reached the western world.. fortunately...otherwise we would be seeing special courses of hidden misteryous unknown secrets around the web..it's a bit difficult to describe in words but Badur,Hombur,Sungtrhu..are divided in two aspects,as a folk wrestling similar to Kirpinar but no oil or old styles of Zoorkhaneh..as well as for personal security like a body guard method..this method used knees elbows and fingers as striking forms..many Altaic populations had body guards for their commanders and many where Uighurs...they rather die than betray and are extremely zealous towards their duty...

The Mongols, the Turks, and the Turkic peoples living in Asia between them, all seem to have similar "folk wrestling" styles that tend to center on takedowns (rather than pinning or throwing out of a certain area).
Based on that, it seems fair to say that there was likely a common Altaic wrestling style ancestral to all of them. Regardless of that though, during the Mongol area, Mongolian wrestling would have been practiced inside their territory wherever the Mongols themselves were, which I believe includes all the areas in question.
The Wikipedia entry on Mongolian Wrestling has an interesting description of a match from about 1240 AD from The Secret History of the Mongols, that you may find an interesting read. The Mongolians seemed to chiefly compete with each other in wrestling, archery and horseback riding. The latter two are of course things their armies during the period were famous for, and clearly would have had to be practiced as well.
