How to Kite Fight

Practiced from Afghanistan to India to Japan, kite fighting battles can involve dozens of teams and hundreds of kites. With well-practiced teams, these battles can last anywhere from mere minutes to several hours. Kite fights are the best kind of violent, but ultimately harmless, fun.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Obtain a regular kite or build your own. Select a kite appropriate to your fighting styles--larger kites may have bulk and strength, but tinier kites may prove more nimble and speedy.
2. Attach razor blades, nails and other weaponry to your kite. Keep your kite lightweight, but dangerous. Many kite fighters also paste ground glass into the kite's cord. Improvise.
3. Locate a fitting site. This should be far removed from civilian populations, as the kites battle themselves into tiny pieces, you don't want innocent pedestrians to be peppered with debris.
4. Battle. You can attack the the body of the kites until they are so damaged as to be rendered useless or use the ground glass-infused cords to cut the other teams' strings.
5. Win. The last kite standing wins, although you may also want to award points to technical skill or fighting prowess.
