MATERIALS
- Loose jackets for both wrestlers to grip
- A soft grass or straw-covered wrestling area
HOW TO PLAY
1
Both wrestlers wear loose jackets and grip each other by the fabric rather than the body directly.
2
Wrestlers try to throw each other cleanly to the ground using holds, trips, and leverage on the jacket.
3
A throw only scores full points if the opponent lands on their back with both shoulders and one hip touching the ground at once.
4
Lesser falls, such as landing on a side or partial position, may count for smaller points depending on house rules.
5
The first wrestler to score an agreed number of points, or the clean full-fall winner, takes the match.
