Schwingen

Two wrestlers grip each other by the loose fabric of the special shorts worn over their clothing.

Each wrestler tries to unbalance the other and force them down onto their back within the soft ring.

Common throws use leg sweeps and hip turns to lift and topple the opponent while keeping a firm grip on the shorts.

A match is won the moment one wrestler's shoulders both touch the ground at the same time.

Tournaments are typically run in a round-robin style, with wrestlers accumulating wins across several matches.
