The first of all the items each wrestler
needs before wrestling is the clothing. The belt of the clothing, made
of leather from water buffalo, water buffalo calf or calf, is four fingers'
width, and thick. This part of the clothing that includes a thick rope
provide a tight fit, is called a rim.
The part of the clothing that sits below the kneecap is called the flare.
A material made of felt, which is called 'paçabent', is placed between
the flare and the skin. The leather part is placed on top of this material
and it's bound tightly with a packthread.
If the flare is not bound tightly, it becomes easier to achieve a victory
due to the easy finger holding.
After the wrestling, the oiled-up clothing is placed and kept in a tote
bag. |
