Fighting Kite

 

Rokkakus, patang, layang layang, pang pae yon.....

By tradition, the kites fighting stir up periodically the heavens of Asia & Latin America, engendering the enthusiasm of everybody. In India, youth, rich or poor have all already known the shudder when they succeed in cutting the opponent line. It is a true air duel.

The play rule is apart from something the same one: manoeuvring their devices in order to destabilize the opponent’s one, to make it falling down or to cut his line. In tens, they will clash themselves crossing and uncrossing their line until only one remains: the master of the sky.

There are various techniques of fighting kite : one where it is a question of cutting the wire of its adversary : cut, the other : the Rokkaku fight.

The Manjha Club International (Association devoted to the fighting kite) brings together the best specialists in the world.

One of the most famous festival of fighting kite is the festival of Ahmedabad in India.
