Er Enish

[1] In official competitions, participants must be at least 19 years old and be medically certified; 18-year-olds are permitted if they are in excellent physical shape.

[2] An Er Enish bout lasts an average of six minutes, but the game stops if a horse or wrestler is hurt.

During the match, the referee awards points to the wrestlers for each hold or fault that takes place.

At the end of the game, the total number of points decides the winner; if the score is equal, an extra 2-minute round takes place as a tiebreaker.

Some moves are not allowed, such as kicks, punches, using a whip, holding onto the face or hair, finger twisting, and so on.
