Mipulos (Arm Wrestling)

Mipulos is a simple traditional game which takes place during the Pesta Kaamatan (Harvest Festival) in Sabah. This festival is celebrated among the indigenous peoples such as Kadazandusuns and Muruts. Mipulos is one of the games held while celebrating the Pesta Kaamatan besides Mipadsa (Knuckle Wrestling), Monopuk (Blow Piping), Momolositik (Catapulting) and Migayat Lukug (Tug of War) which are also the highlights of this festival. Mipulos, similarly to the arm wrestling match which is played commonly around the world today, is a competition where two competitor place their elbows, either left or right, on a table and clutch each other's hand. To win this competition, one must knock their opponent's hand on the surface of the table.
