Its roots lie far back in the history of the islands and supposedly it served to solve disputes among the original inhabitants, the Guanches.<\/p>\n<p>What is there to see? A ring-fight, which still follow the same rules since centuries. The \u201cLuchada\u201d (struggle) is between 2 wrestlers on a \u201cTerrero\u201d \u2013 a round circle filled with sand. Then they wrestlers start shoulder to shoulder with pulling, dragging and pushing and with various tricks, plenty of power and a lot of speed they try to get the other to come into contact with the sand.<\/p>\n<p>What stands out \u2013 despite all ambitions the wrestler are fighting with a certain \u201ckindness\u201d.
