HOW TO PLAY
1

Two competitors face off on a grassy or matted area, gripping each other by the shoulders, arms, or a sash depending on local style.

2

Each wrestler tries to unbalance the other using trips, lifts, and throws rather than striking.

3

A fall is scored when any part of the opponent's body above the knee touches the ground.

4

Matches are typically short bursts of a minute or two, with a rest between rounds.

5

The first wrestler to score an agreed number of falls, or the one judged to have controlled the match, is declared the winner.
