Straight gangster s**t,

.

I'm Peruvian. Indigenous Peruvians have a festival called Takanakuy where you just settle beef with family, friends, and neighbors etc. by throwing hands. Everybody gets down, men, women, children,

.

The traditional way is for one person to call out someone they have beef with to fight but they both wear a colorful ski mask while throwing down so the fighters don't know who they're fighting and won't hold any animosity against each other going into the new year.

I'm Bolivian, in Bolivia there is a similar "fight" called Tinku but people are usually drunk.

There's like 10 referees

After watching the videos that truly looks like some cool stuff there. It seems they have a 30 second time limit or the first one to knock the other one down first. Really cool stuff.

If I ever go to Peru(one of my life's goal is to see Machu Pichu) I'm going to look this kind of event up and go to one.
