Wrestling, cockfighting.

Wrestling is one of the traditional competitive games in Korea. The rules are that two men kneel down facing each other and grab the laces on each other's legs. When the referee gives the order, they stand up at the same time. The one who knocks the other down first wins. Chicken is a game where people imitate fighting chickens in roosters and attack each other. The rule is to stand with your right foot on the ground, lift your left foot to the knee of your right foot, grab the ankle or trouser corner of your left foot with both hands, bend your left knee to a certain arc and push against the opponent's body. The one whose left foot lands first is the loser.
