MATERIALS
- A soft mat or sawdust pit
- Jackets with reinforced sleeves (or sturdy shirts)
HOW TO PLAY
1
Two wrestlers grip each other by the jacket, using only their hands above the waist.
2
Each tries to throw the other so that both shoulder blades touch the ground at the same time, called a "flat back."
3
A full flat-back throw ends the match immediately in the thrower's favor.
4
A throw where the opponent lands on their side or partially scores fewer points, tallied by the referee.
5
Wrestlers who release the grip, strike, or grab below the waist receive a caution, and the match resumes from a standing position.
