Khapsagai

Wrestling in which a wrestler needs to unbalance the opponent using various techniques and try to force him to touch the ground or the mat with any part of his body. Even a random touch is considered a defeat. Khapsagai is fought only in a standing position hereby differing from all the other types of wrestling styles like freestyle or classic wrestling. The wrestlers are allowed to grab any part of the opponent’s body (arms, waist, legs) though it is forbidden to grip the fingers or the head with both hands. The most common techniques are sweeps and high throws by capturing a leg of the opponent.
