When I was growing up, my dad would occasionally challenge me and my brothers to “Indian Wrestling.” The feat involved was the second definition according to Mirriam Webster (i.e. opponents standing statically and trying to pull each other off balance).

I’ve tried to look up people attempting this on youtube and elsewhere without success (it’s always the leg wrestling variety that I find). Does this have a modern non-ethnically-charged name? Do people not do this anymore? I need to know!

    I knew it as arm wrestling growing up. And what most call arm wrestling (hands clasped, elbows on table), was hand or wrist wrestling.
