In 1888 during the celebration of the Princess Day in Amsterdam (Netherlands) a traditional wrestling tournament was held. This championship tournament was part of the folk sports competitions. The champion wrestler received a gold watch. The historical name of that style of wrestling was Lyfvat. The rules of Lyfvat were very simple: the wrestlers try to throw their opponent onto his back from standing position. Only taking holds from hips to shoulders (including arms) are allowed. Tripping feet is prohibited.

Dit kampioenschapstoernooi maakte deel uit van de volkssportcompetities. De kampioenworstelaar ontving een gouden horloge. De historische naam van die worstelstijl was Lyfvat. De regels van Lyfvat waren heel eenvoudig: de worstelaars proberen hun tegenstander vanuit staande positie op zijn rug te gooien. Alleen het vasthouden van heupen tot schouders (inclusief armen) is toegestaan. Struikelen met de voeten is verboden.

Evala – traditional sport from Togo

For the Tibetan people, horses are a significant part of their daily lives and culture. Multiple breeds (including the Tibetan pony and the Riwoche) have been developed to suit the various needs of the people, including food, riding, racing and load-bearing. For the Khampas, a nomadic group of Tibetans who still live more or less the same way they have for millennia, the horse is central to their way of life. So it’s no surprise that when the time comes to celebrate, horses take centre stage!
Every summer, the town of Litang in the Sichuan provice of China (previously part of Tibet) hosts the Litang Horse Racing Festival. Over three days, the alpine town morphs into a giant carnival ground, with horse races, mounted games, stunt riding, yak races (yep!), singing, dancing, trading, fashion parades, rites and ceremonies, and whatever else the nomads deem fit!

The Valdostana Rebatta Association was founded in 1957 in Valle d'Aosta (a small autonomous region located in the north-west of Italy on the border with France and Switzerland) to organise, support and promote the game of Rebatta, an ancient and typical discipline for throwing ball with stick.
Among many peoples in the world, the Mapuche is a people who stood out for their use of the Wayki, the spear. The Wayki, an element of delicate manufacture, made of noble wood, hard wood, and apellinated.
All Mapuche had their wayki and they were kept at the door of the ruka ready to be used in case of danger. It was placed at the entrance because it had to be readily available.
The Waykitun was an ancestral practice that, at the same time as a martial art, was a practice similar to a sport, which is why everyone had their own and had to learn how to use it.
Mapuche soldiers practiced various combat techniques (slingshot, arrow, hand-to-hand combat, etc.), but the best known is the waykitun.
