HOW TO PLAY
1
Two competitors face off inside a marked ring while onlookers gather around and clap out a rhythm.
2
Wrestlers grip each other by the arms, shoulders, or waist, trying to unbalance one another without punching or kicking.
3
A wrestler wins the bout the instant they force any part of their opponent's body besides the feet to touch the ground.
4
Common winning moves include hip throws, trips, and sudden lifts followed by a controlled takedown.
5
Matches are traditionally held during celebrations and clan gatherings, often accompanied by drumming and praise-singing for the winner.
6
Tournaments run as a knockout bracket, with the final undefeated wrestler earning the title of champion for that gathering.
