Tug of war is a classic game that has been played at children's parties and family gatherings for a long time. To win the game, your team must prove stronger than the other team by pulling the rope to its own side. However, if you want to be sure of victory, you have to learn all the tricks. If you want to win at tug of war, just read on at step 1.
To step
Keep practicing. It may take a while for your team to find the winning rhythm. If you practice with a team, you will find the best coordination and order of players on the team to be successful. Don't get frustrated right away; once you've mastered the technique and teamwork, you'll be well on your way to becoming tug of war champions!
Tips
- Try to plant your feet in the ground when you pull.
- Work always together as a team. No one, no matter how strong, can win on their own in the tug of war.
- Use your arm and leg muscles to pull and push as hard as possible in a rhythm as you and the team learned during practice.
- Try to pull hard as one man with the whole team to maximize the power for winning the duel.
- Try to find something to brace yourself against, such as a rock on the ground.
- You can also use your body weight, but make sure you don't fall. This will add extra strength as you pull the rope towards you.
Warnings
- Keep your back as straight as possible; most tug-of-war injuries are caused by people trying to pull from their backs.
- You can get injured while doing this. Do not use gloves (this could cause the rope to slip) and be careful.
- Use a safe rope, preferably a "Powerpull" rope pull. They ensure safe fun, without rope burns or scrapes. This is the latest technology in tug of war.
- If the other team is stronger, you certainly won't win with this technique!
