HOW TO PLAY
1

Two competitors face off in a marked circle while onlookers form a ring around them.

2

Wrestlers grip each other by the waist, arms, or shoulders rather than striking.

3

Each competitor tries to throw the other so that any part of the body besides the feet touches the ground.

4

A match ends the moment a clean throw or fall happens, decided by agreement or a referee.

5

Winners may face a new challenger in the next bout, continuing until one wrestler has beaten all comers.
