In Ewenki language, physical ability means "snatch", so snatch pivot Ewenki language is also called "pivot physical ability".

It is especially suitable for the nomadic life in the mountains and grasslands. For example, a few people or families gather for entertainment and competition. From the old to the young, they can participate in fighting in different ways. It has a long history. In Hulunbuir grassland and the places where the Ewenki people live in the greater Khingan mountains, it is held together with wrestling, horse racing, archery and other activities when they meet the "Oboo Festival", "Nadam Festival" and "Sabin Festival". The competition requires the players to have good running ability, quick reaction ability, strong arm strength, grip strength and good wrestling skills. In the process of pivot snatching, there are both Rugby style contests and wrestling style contests. It integrates many skills of Ewenki people in the process of daily nomadic and hunting.
