THE WRESTLING
Bring your friends and sign up to wrestle each other in games like…
Grappling
Arm wrestling
Leg wrestling
Sock wrestling
Thumb wrestling
Foam Sword fencing
Rock, paper, scissors
We encourage creative wrestling attire, even if you are not wrestling!
You sign a liability waiver, even if you are not wrestling.
Sign up to wrestle either with someone you know, or as a solo contender (we will help you find a worthy match).
Tell us your wrestling name, your reason for fighting, and your wrestling style.
Your knees stay on the ground when you are wrestling, there is no standing, punching, slapping, biting, choking, hair pulling, jewelry pulling, or hands under clothes. No picking people up and slamming them down. End the match by saying “stop”, tapping your opponent or the ground repeatedly, or 3 count pinfall.
We strongly encourage participants to test for Covid the day of the event.
We will have medics!
Consent to fight is mandatory, enthusiastic, and actively negotiated!
THE FOOD
There will be vegan food available!
Leave your alcohol at home!
THE FUNDRAISER
Donations raised go directly to Mision Migrante Coalition, which supports Baton Rouge's immigrant community through education, advocacy, and direct mutual aid: Mision Migrante
THE VIBES
There will be music, a resource/local artist table, good friends and good queer community.
There will be a low sensory space available for those who need a little recharge.
While this event centers queer people, everyone is welcome, as long as they can abide by the house rules! We firmly believe that play fighting is good for the soul, strengthens our courage, deepens our bonds with each other, and is an entertaining and appropriate way to participate in your community!
