| In Nam Nghia commune, wrestling matches are held quite early, starting from the afternoon of the third day of Tet (Lunar New Year), and take place every afternoon from 12:30 PM to 5:30 PM. Although the wrestling arena is quite simple, just tarpaulins spread on sandy ground, it always attracts everyone. Photo: Huy Thu |

| At wrestling arenas, there are always one or two drums to encourage the wrestlers. Whenever a wrestler executes a beautiful move, the drums beat loudly, and the cheers become boisterous. (Photo: Huy Thư) |

| Wrestlers move back and forth, constantly trying to find weaknesses in each other's defenses to grab hands, trip legs, or throw their opponent to the ground. The atmosphere in the wrestling ring is therefore sometimes lively, sometimes intensely competitive. Photo: Huy Thu |

Wrestlers compete individually, but sometimes also for the honor of their village, commune, or even clan. Winners of each round receive prizes or money, depending on the locality. In addition to prizes from the organizers, spectators are also free to give rewards to their favorite wrestlers. Photo: Huy Thư |
