HOW TO PLAY
1

Each wrestler wears a belt around the waist and thigh straps, gripping their opponent's belt with both hands.

2

On the signal, both try to use trips and leg hooks to throw the opponent off balance.

3

Wrestlers must keep their grip on the belt at all times, no letting go to strike or grab elsewhere.

4

A fall where any part of the body above the knee touches the ground ends the round.

5

Best of three falls determines the winner.
