Want a weird sport for a local ritual?

We've had troll-ball, shield wrestling, and other odd things. Someone, somewhere, might get inspiration from the ancient and noble sport of Shin Kicking.

It's a form of wrestling... sort of. And the new British champion is one of my sword-brothers from the Aisle O'Var backswording club, so I'm biased.

Here's the official site, complete with rules. http://www.daeschner.com/skab/index.html

I doubt if anyone has Shin Kicking on their character sheet (yet), but I'd rate it as mainly wrestling with large augments from endurance (having your shins kicked hurts).
