Some Background- SBW is a folk wrestling style originating in Scotland. The two competitors grip around each other with and under hook and over hook and joining hands together. The first one to touch the ground with anything other than their feet loses. The competition is best of 5 falls and you may use any means besides striking or breaking your grip in order to bring your opponent to the ground.
