Wrestling

Bhutanese men engage in wrestling during breaks during their work and other occasions but wrestling is not conducted as a formal competition in traditional Bhutan. Two young men hold each other along the waist, often latching onto the belts, and throw each other off. The game continues until one of them is thrown off or is pressed on the ground under the other for a prolonged period of time. Very agile and light ones are often said to be difficult to defeat as they cling onto the opponent in spite of lacking the strength to bring down the opponent.
