HOW TO PLAY
1
Two wrestlers enter a marked circle and face off in a low, ready stance.
2
Wrestlers grip each other by the arms, waist, or thighs, trying to lift or unbalance one another.
3
Forcing any part of an opponent's body other than their feet to touch the ground counts as a fall.
4
Pushing an opponent fully outside the marked circle also ends the round in your favor.
5
Matches are typically won by best two falls out of three, with the referee calling each fall.
