HOW TO PLAY
1
Two players enter the center of a circle formed by the rest of the group.
2
Moving mostly on inverted, cartwheeling positions, each player uses sweeping leg movements to try to unbalance the other without using their hands to strike.
3
The surrounding circle keeps rhythm with clapping, singing, or drumming that sets the pace of the exchange.
4
A player scores when they cause their opponent to lose balance or touch the ground.
5
Partners switch out after a short round so new players from the circle get a turn.
