Cotswold Shin-Kicking

Two competitors face each other and grip each other's shoulders or collar in a standing hold.

Each player pads their shins with straw or a soft wrap tucked under their trouser legs for safety.

On a signal, each player tries to kick the opponent's shins with the toe of their shoe while keeping their grip.

Whoever falls to the ground first, lets go of the hold, or gives up loses the bout.

Winners move on through a bracket until one shin-kicking champion remains.
