Pull/push over the line

Number of participants: in pairs or two groups

Necessary equipment: tatami or carpets, stopwatch

Skills: strength, body combat

The pairs line up facing each other in combat position. There is a borderline between the pairs, which can be the center line, for example. The partners hold on to each other’s shoulders. There are two other designated borderlines behind the partners a couple of meters away from them.

Aim: to push the partner over the second line, which marks the boundary of the game area.

Rules:

1. It is forbidden to sit down or deliberately let go of the partner.
2. Also to turn around or suddenly pull the partner.
3. Crossing or reaching the boundary line is valid if it is true for both feet.

Variations:

1. The task may be to pull (instead of push) the partner over the line.
2. The game can be played by only holding on to each other with one hand.
