Thu Le Wrestling Ring Ceremony Jubilantly Opened
TTH.VN - Every year, on the morning of January 6th of the Lunar New Year (10/02), Thu Le communal house (Quang Phuoc - Quang Dien) is full of people watching the spring wrestling festival.
Thu Le wrestling festival with many unique traditional features has been organized for hundreds of years. In addition to the purpose of promoting the spirit of martial arts, wrestling is also an opportunity to select potential athletes for the province's recruitment to participate in national and international tournaments annually.
With 2 contents of traditional wrestling and freestyle wrestling, this year's wrestling festival attracts more than 100 youth and teenagers. When a wrestler wins, he directly eliminates his opponent to move on to the next round. Wanting to be the winner, the wrestler must wrestle opponents "flat on their back" and absolutely must not use dangerous attacks such as breaking joints, attacking the sensitive area...
Mr. Le Que, a senior of the village, said that this year, there are 16 wrestlers who are the young people in the village. This is a new feature, at the same time marking the continuation, preservation and promotion of the martial arts tradition of the village.
