Every New Year, in Nghia Thai commune, Nam Dan district, a traditional wrestling tournament takes place within the framework of the Spring festival. Interestingly, the wrestling arena is not only for men to compete but also a place for women to test their strength with the spirit of "having fun is the main thing".

The wrestling festival lasted from the 3rd to the 9th of the Lunar New Year At Ty at the stadium of Nghia Thai commune (Nam Dan district) attracting a large number of people in the area and neighboring communes to watch and register to try their hand.

The unique feature of the wrestling tournament in Nghia Thai commune compared to other localities is the participation of women. Regardless of age, weight, and dress code, anyone who feels they can compete can compete in the wrestling arena without having to register in advance. The wrestling tournament takes place in a joyful, safe atmosphere, with security and order guaranteed. Photo: Gia Huy

According to referee Nguyen Duy Bao (Nghia Thai commune): The women's wrestling ring demonstrates the spirit of gender equality, bringing joy and laughter to everyone, while contributing to preserving and promoting the nation's traditional sport.

According to Ms. Tran Thi Tham - Cultural Officer of Nghia Thai Commune, Nam Dan District: "The wrestling arena for women in Nghia Thai Commune not only attracts a large number of local people to watch and cheer, but also attracts many women from other communes in Nam Dan District such as Van Dien, Nam Anh, Nam Thanh... to compete". In addition to promoting the spirit of martial arts, through the early spring wrestling tournament, the locality also selects "seeds" to nurture and send to participate in the wrestling tournament within the framework of the Mai Hac De King Festival held on the full moon day of the first lunar month every year.
