MATERIALS
- A satba cloth belt tied around the waist and one thigh of each competitor
- A sand-filled ring or soft mat area

Circular sand ring roughly 7-8 meters across
HOW TO PLAY
1
Both competitors kneel facing each other and grip their opponent's satba belt at the waist and thigh.
2
On the signal to begin, both rise together to a standing position while maintaining their grip on the belt.
3
Use pushing, lifting, and leg-trip techniques to try to unbalance your opponent without letting go of the belt.
4
A competitor loses the bout the moment any part of their body above the knee touches the ground.
5
Stepping outside the marked ring boundary during the bout also ends it in the opponent's favor.
6
Win the match by taking the required number of bouts, commonly two out of three, against your opponent.
