Satba

The Satba is made of an all cotton cloth.
Different colors are used to help identify the wrestlers for the audience.
The color may be white and block or red and blue. Length is not important but there are regulation for the width of the Satba.

The garment is placed around the right leg(Figure 1)and tied with a knot, forming a ring around the thigh(Figure 2). The garment is ourposely tied so that one end can be looped around the wrestler like a belt, going behind his right side and returning to the front from his left side(Fugure 3). The end of the garment is then tied to the thigh ring(Figures 4-5). The garment, in the shape of figure five, appears like a belt and garter on the wrestler.
