HOW TO PLAY
1
Both wrestlers coat their arms and upper bodies generously with olive oil before the match begins.
2
Wrestlers face off and attempt to get a secure grip on the kispet trousers or the opponent's body despite the slippery oil.
3
Use throws, holds, and leg techniques to attempt to control and unbalance your opponent.
4
A wrestler wins a fall by lifting the opponent off the ground and controlling them, or by pinning them so their back is exposed to the sky.
5
Matches are traditionally won by achieving a clear, controlled advantage that the referee recognizes as a decisive hold.
6
The wrestler who secures the required advantage first is declared the winner of the match.
