- Name of sport (game): Isindi
- Place of practice (continent, state, nation):
Georgia
- History:
- Description:
The game proceeds between two teams or horsemen, on square playground. The players are adult males. Start line is drawn as a boundary for lining up the teams on opposite sides. Each team has 6 players (the number of horsemen may increase). The horseman is armed with isindi (one-meter long spear, with “cap” on the end). After drawing of lots, the team, which starts the game, sends the first rider to the front; he is called “challenger”. The rival team puts its rider on the start line to meet the “challenger”. The “challenger” gallops to the rival team and tries to defy the rival rider or his horse by throwing isindi. As the challenger approaches, the rival rider takes off from the line and meets the challenger with his isindi. Only galloping rider can throw isindi. After shooting, the challenger suddenly turns his horse and races back to his team at full speed, but this time the rival tries to defy the oppose using the same tricks, chases him and throws isindi. Trying to avoid isindi, the rider takes cover using the horse’s head; rises, grabs the thrown isindi in his hand and, in the twinkling of the eye, throws the grabbed isindi to the rider, chasing him. Counter-attack starts and the rider, who was targeted at, performs as the attacker. It happens so quickly, nicely and skillfully that causes fascination of all spectators.
The participating teams come to the playground in formation, stand in line facing each other and greet each other. Then the competition starts. The game is leaded by referees, who use whistles to start or, if required, to stop the game.
If, for any reason, the rider or his horse is unable to continue the game, it is possible to replace the rider or his horse; during the game, the chased rider can use any trick to avoid isindi, e.g. hang on the horse, bend aside, etc. If the rider drops isindi, he leaves the game. It is inadmissible to throw isindi at the rider, who fell down or fell from the horse. If the rider falls from the horse, he has the rights to continue the contest under the condition, that he catches his horse within the boundaries of the playground without other person’s help and mounts it. In this case, he loses the right of throwing isindi. If the horse of the fallen rider runs out of the boundaries of the playground, the rider will be considered as dropped out of this “kamara”. If it happens to the chased rider, the game goes on as usual. If the horse takes the rider away from the playground, the rider is considered as dropped out of “kamara”.
It is strictly forbidden: to seize isindi, to hit either rider or the horse with isindi, prick, shout. In the case of dangerous situation, the game is stopped. During the contest, medical and veterinary aid stations are arranged near the playground.
The winner is who hits the rival with isindi more time in the agreed time. - Current status:

- Name in native language: Jildaoba
- Place of practice (continent, state, nation):
Georgia
- Name of sport (game): Pela game or Bankrol (Box) game
- Name in native language: Jogo da Banca ou Pela
- Place of practice (continent, state, nation):
Portugal
The game of Banca or Pela is umbilically linked to some Portuguese fishing zones, being indicated in the historical records and highlighted in the literature that deals with Lusitanian customs, more particularly of these games, the cities of Nazaré and Vila do Conde. - History:
This game has been shown throughout its development to be exclusive to female practitioners, and the presence of male practitioners was not registered during its development in the Easter period. Currently, we consider this game to be in the process of disappearing, occurring in specific moments for the enjoyment of tourists visiting certain Portuguese fishing areas.
- Description:
The materials needed for the Bank or Pela game are easy to obtain, as they are just a small wooden box and a ball of rags. In addition to these simple game materials, their development has the characteristic of these practitioners wearing the typical attire of varinas of the locations where they are practiced.
This game, whether in the past or today, spontaneously or programmed for tourism purposes, has always been developed by female practitioners. As for the ages of the practitioners, the documentary records show that these players are adult women. - Current status:
Nowadays, we can consider that this game is played by Banca or Pela, due to its spontaneous expression, it is completely disappeared from the streets of the fishing villages, only showing up on certain occasions and due to tourism initiatives. The risk of transmission of the game is questioned by the change in the customs of the varinas, which today are forced to sell fishery products in standardized establishments, and not in the spaces of the streets of the villages where they practiced.
This game is only practiced during the Easter period, spontaneously or through the promotion of the City Councils of certain fishing villages, or as an attraction for tourist groups visiting these municipalities that still practice it. - Contacts:
This game is not linked to any type of associative entity, occurring spontaneously by practitioners exclusively female during the Easter period, and in certain fishing areas.

- Name of sport (game): Jogo do Pau
- Name in native language: Jogo do Pau
- Place of practice (continent, state, nation):
Jogo do Pau is practised in Portugal, Azores and Madeira (Portugal) and outside Portugal. There are some jogo do pau study groups around the world (Australia, USA, Sweden, Belgium), but they all started in the 21st century or really late 20th century.
- History:
In a variety of different societies, treating the sword as a weapon has been a privilege of the royals and warriors. Common people did not have access to such weaponry, so they had to find some alternative ways, such as hand-to-hand combat or using common tools. One of such disciplines is a well-known martial art karate (“with bare hands” from Japanese) developed in Okinawa; or in a similar time frame Kobudo, fighting style using only a sickle. There are a lot more styles that use similar objects or tools, such as sticks, clappers, etc. These were the weapons used by common farmers or fishermen when confronted with the samurais equipped with katanas or other arms. In Portugal, local people developed a fighting style using a staff, which they could buy everywhere. The style became known as Jogo do Pau, which mean game, but in this context, the meaning is closer to “technical skills” or “wielding”.
In the XX century, Jogo do Pau has still been popular throughout whole Portugal, especially in the north during various festivals and events. The duels could take the form of one against one clashes or one against many. The participants from the north were called “puxadores” while the participants who travelled from one event to another winning every match in order to prove their worth were called “varredores de feiras”. Master Monteiro, originating in Fafe region, said that when his father had been young, there were two villages, which took part in the Sunday Mass in the same chapel. It was a part of the tradition for everyone to hold their staffs above their heads for everyone to see while kneeling during the Mass. After the ceremony, staffs were used for fighting, which has often happened after trivial disputes between the young members of two villages. Such skirmishes were solved with the use of the staff but were not deprived of rules. They had to honour the ethic code, which prohibited fighting with a laying man or a man without his staff.
In Lisbon, since XIX century, Jogo do Pau has been practised in an unconventional way, developed on the streets of the capital city or clubs such as Ateneu Comercial de Lisboa or Real Gymnasium, where Jogo do Pau is still being practised. Two great schools were established, their techniques, history and social principles varied: Escola do Norte and Escola de Lisboa (also practised in Ribatejo and Extremadura). The latter one developed a series of innovative techniques and was less focused on the confrontation with an opponent.
There were a number of Jogo do Pau masters in different regions of Portugal, including António Nunes Caçador, Frederico Hopffer, Júlio Hopffer, Joaquim Baú, Calado Campos, Chula, Custódio Neves, Pedro Ferreira, Elias Gameiro, Nuno Russo or Manuel Monteiro. Master Pedro Ferreira (March 26th, 1915 – September 24th, 1996) became very important person for the technical development and history of Jogo do Pau, by fusing Escola do Norte and Escola de Lisboa. A lot of contemporary teachers had been his students in the past. He gave Jogo do Pau the image of the art that is being practised one’s whole life and has been considered to be one of the greatest masters of Jogo do Pau. - Description:
Jogo do Pau are 3 training exercises: “Sarilhos”, “Formas” and “Séries”. These three techniques are very similar to the one used in a majority of oriental martial arts called “Kata”, which is a simulation of movement sequences used in imaginary fight. A lot of beginners confuse these two training approaches since the division of exercises in Jogo do Pau can be easily overlooked since they are taught simultaneously.
1) Sarilhos – The previously determined sequence of defence movements used in a specific situations. The exercises not only improve the trainee’s fighting techniques but also their endurance and body coordination. The advantage of this training method is being able to do it alone.
2) Formas – Sequence of attack and defence movements mixed together designed for fighting multiple opponents at once. Formas are very often trained in coordinated groups, which creates a visually pleasing effect and are used for demonstrations.
3) Séries – It was part of the traditional training of the old masters, which combines two of the previous exercises. It is the most complex form of Jogo do Pau training and requires coordination and experience, hence it was usually practised one to one (master to a student). These days, the most common approach is a classroom model (master to several students), but it is possible to practise it one to one.
Jogo do Pau consists in a lot more aspects, like traditional martial art staff fighting, 1 to 1 combat, combat against multiple opponents and the more recent approach of sports competition, Still, most of the training is done in its traditional form wood staffs and no protections, with the objective of creating Combat ready athletes.
Esgrima Lusitana Cascais is now the base of the Escola do Santo Condestável technique (the most combat effectiveness oriented, and the one that is promoting the sport competition option, with several schools, in Portugal and outside). - Current status:
Nowadays Jogo do Pau is not as popular as it used to be in the past. Since 1930s, Jogo do Pau started to diminish in popularity, due to variety of different reasons, such as police prohibition of staff use in order to avoid serious injuries or even casualties as well as the spread of firearms which made a time consuming and difficult to master technique less beneficial. Despite all these reasons, Jogo do Pau is still being practised today, thanks to the groups such as Esgrima Lusitana Cascais – Jogo do Pau Association.

- Name of sport (game): Jogo do Pau e Bola
- Name in native language: Jogo do Pau e Bola
- Place of practice (continent, state, nation):
The game of Pau and Bola are recorded in two geographical areas of Portugal, in Ribatejo in the village of Redunfas in the municipality of Santarém, and in Santa Susana in the municipality of Cintra, confirming the connection of this game between Santarém and Lisbon, with no manifestations being revealed. Similar in other areas of Portugal.
- History:
This game, both in the past and now and spontaneously, has always been played by male individuals in the two locations where their presence was registered. In the past, due to the lack of entertainment options other than traditional games, practitioners were young, adults and the elderly, and today, only adults over forty and the elderly practice it. There is no record of female presence in the practice of ball and stick.
- Description:
For the realization of this game, the only raw material for making the game materials is wood, used both for making the balls and the twelve cylindrical sticks of approximately 40 to 50 centimeters that form the set of pins.
- Current status:
This game is not linked to any type of associative entity, occurring spontaneously by practitioners exclusively male, although currently, this occurrence is increasingly smaller.
This game, in the past and even now and sporadically, its practice occurs on weekends among elderly male individuals in the locations where this game is still practiced, and by adult immigrant individuals on holiday periods.
Currently we can consider that this game of Bola e Pau, being a spontaneous expression is in the process of disappearing, showing itself in a punctual way in the locations of Santa Susana and Redunfas, with no program to revitalize the game in these communities, or any link with entities linked to the organization and development of portuguese traditional games. - Sources of information :

France, villes de l’Hérault et une ville du Gard.
Béziers, Agde, Marseillan, Mèze, Balaruc, Frontignan, Sète, Palavas, Le Grau-du-Roi. - History:
The history of the practice of jousting seems very old. Some representations attest to this as early as 2780 B.C. in the former Egyptian Empire. At this time, it is not a question of a playful or sporting practice, rather of quarrels settling on the water. Over time, the practice is found in Greece and then in Sicily; it is strongly diffused as a sport or show game under the Roman Empire (46 BC). Although they were certainly practiced, the nautical jousts reappear in the writings and representations only in the twelfth century after J-C, especially in Lyon in 1177. Nautical jousts flourished in the 16th century. At that time, they took place during performances in honour of dignitaries (king, queen, member of the court) or at major events, and were organized in the form of tournaments. Thus, the archives mention nautical joust tournaments on April 13, 1507 in Lyon, in honour of Queen Anne of Brittany, in 1536 in honour of Francis I and in 1548, for Henri II and Catherine de Medici. On September 13, 1782, in Lyon, a tournament of jousts broke a record of attendance (about 100,000 people attending).
In a few centuries, nautical jousts have become popular festivals very attractive. Nautical jousting was officially recognized as a sport in March 1960. Four years later, on November 22, the French Federation of Joute et Sauvetage Nautique (FFJSN) was born, the one recognized today since its approval in April 1971 by the Secretariat of Youth and Sports. The FFJSN currently has more than 81 joust companies, approximately 40 located along the Rhône.These companies are distinguished in four leagues: Ligue Languedoc, Ligue Nord de Loire Picardie, Ligue Rhône Alpes, Ligue Provence Alpes Côte d'Azur. This division is due to different methods of practicing nautical jousting, of which there are six: Provençal method, Languedoc method, Parisian method, Lyonnaise and Girondine method, Strasbourg method. - Description:
Two heavy boats, one red and the other blue, were propelled by eight to ten oarsmen and guided by two coxswains, the "helmsmen".
The gamers are positioned on a platform about three metres from the water at the end of each boat. This platform bears the name of tinaine. On the lower part of the tinaine, stand the jousts of the next duels.
The two boats then face each other, propelling each other until the final impact. At the time of the assault, the two boats graze on the right to allow the jousts to carry out "the pass". Equipped with their spear and a bulwark, the aim of the gamer is to bring down his opponent in the water. The winner is the one who stays in place on the tintaine after the pass. A player in position is slit-forward. It is a joust in force, especially as the gamer carries a heavy bulwark (shield) 70 cm high for 40 cm wide and a lance of 2.80 m with the other hand. Before 1920, the bulwarks were larger (20 cm larger) and heavier. A completely white outfit is mandatory for all gamers, as well as the wearing of socks, also white.
Music is omnipresent on the occasion of the Languedoc jousts. A pena is always in charge of punctuating the exploits of the gamers, while the rowers are entitled to two onboard musicians, a traditional Languedoc haubois and a drum (called tambornet), seated at the bow of each boat. They set the pace for the rowers. - Current status:
The Languedoc jousts have 17 societies of Jousts : L'Amicale des Pêcheurs Sète-Môle, L'Association des Jouteurs Biterrois, L'Avenir des Jouteurs Sétois, La Lance Sportive Sétoise, La Nouvelle Lance Mézoise, Le Pavois Agathois, La Jeune Lance Graulenne, La Jeune Lance Sétoise, La Jeune Lance Sportive Mézoise, La Société des Jouteurs Balarucois, La Société des Jouteurs Frontignanais, La Société des Jouteurs Sétois, La Lance Amicale Sétoise, La Lance Olympique Marseillanaise, La Lance Sportive Palavasienne, L'Amicale des Jouteurs de la Pointe-Short and The Society of Agathois Gamers.
- Importance (for practitioners, communities etc.):
The Languedoc method is one of five nautical joust variants recognized by the French Federation of Jousting and Nautical Life1.
This practice has been included in the Inventory of Intangible Cultural Heritage in France since 2012.
The queen event is the famous Grand Prix de la Saint-Louis in Sète around August 25 (the last Monday of August) (since 1743), but a points classification on the season (since 1962), a French championship (since 1927) and a Coupe de France (since 1963) also exist in four weight and age categories: Heavy, Medium, Senior and Junior. - Contacts:

- Name of sport (game): Juego del chito
- Name in native language: Juego del chito (tuta, tángana, tango, tanga, tanguilla)
- Place of practice (continent, state, nation):
Spain (eg. Villaviciosa de Odon - Madrid)
The denomination tanguilla is the one commonly used in the town of Palazuelos and, in general, in the mountains of the north of the province of Guadalajara and nearby areas of Segovia and Soria. - Description:
The players, usually groups of 6 to 10 people, take turns throwing the discs with the aim of hitting and knocking down the tango. Two trial rolls are usually made and then, as a general rule, twelve rounds of a roll in which the player who knocks down the tango scores.
It was usual to play tango betting small amounts of money, a few years ago the blond pesetas used to be used and now the amounts do not usually exceed the euro. In these cases, all the players agree on an amount per spin. The coins wagered are placed on the tango. When a player knocks down the tango he wins those coins that are closer to his puck than to the tango, he collects those coins and the rest are placed back on the tango to continue the round.
https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/ChitoThe game requires three elements: the players, the yews and the tanguilla itself.
The tanguilla is a cylinder about 18 or 20 centimeters long and 3 or 4 centimeters in diameter, with perfectly smooth bases.
The yews are metal disks between 8 or 10 centimeters in diameter and about 4 or 6 millimeters thick. The dimensions and composition determine its weight, an important factor in the game. In certain localities, yew trees are also called "tangones" or "chocones".
