HOW TO PLAY
1
Each player wears a long sash tied loosely around their waist and grips their opponent's sash with both hands.
2
Without letting go of the sash, wrestlers try to lift, twist, or off-balance each other using leg trips and body turns.
3
Touching the ground with anything other than your feet ends the bout in your opponent's favor.
4
A referee watches for safety and calls out fouls like grabbing outside the sash or striking.

Matches are typically short, and winners move on to face the next challenger in a friendly bracket.
