HOW TO PLAY
1

Mark a wide circle in sand or soft grass as the wrestling ring.

2

Two wrestlers enter, each trying to use grips, trips, and throws to make the other touch the ground with anything besides their feet.

3

Wrestlers may not strike with closed fists in a friendly match, keeping the contest to grappling only.

4

The first wrestler to fall or be forced out of the circle loses that round.

5

Best of three rounds decides the match, with the circle cheering on both competitors.
