Kokawa

Two competitors face off inside a marked circular ground while onlookers form a ring around them.

Drummers or singers keep an energetic rhythm as each wrestler tries to unbalance the other with grips, trips, and lifts.

A match is won the moment any part of an opponent's body above the knee touches the ground.

No punching or striking is allowed; only grappling holds and throws count as fair technique.

The winner stays in the circle to face the next challenger, and the crowd calls out fresh contenders.
