Tug of War Day is celebrated all over the world.
Kids, youngsters, and especially people who have a keen interest in sports, celebrate Tug of War Day.
It is not known when the Tug of War Day actually started.
It is not clear who started Tug of War Day, but this festival is celebrated across the world with great enthusiasm by people who enjoy sports.
The ancient history of this sport goes back to the times of ancient Egypt. Ancient drawings of this competitive sport have been found in various regions of Egypt. Here are some of the most important aspects related to the history of this day.
Different competitive events are organized across the world to celebrate Tug of War Day. While this sport is no longer a part of the Olympics, it is still enjoyed by players across the world. Aside from formal competitions, ‘pulls' feature at many fairs and festivals.
You can attend events where people play tug of war and cheer for your favorite team. You can view sporting events from famous tug-of-war battles. You can also enjoy tugging with your friends, siblings, and family.
The term 'tug of war' refers to a contest during which two groups pull against one another at opposite ends of a rope to pull the center of the rope over a mark on the bottom.
This game needs physical strength along with mental strength. It needs the muscles to work efficiently. It helps in burning calories and making leg muscles fit and strong.
Playing tug of war is obviously recommended due to its benefits for health and fitness. The use of faulty equipment, mainly rope, or in the wrong manner can lead to both minor and major injuries.
People believe that Tug Of War Day is fun. Tug of war is a non-athletic sport that encourages ancient values of honesty, integrity, and sportsmanship.
This game is exciting because you can play it with a kid, a 20-something person, or an older person who seems interested in the sport.
Yoshihiro Shimadzu introduced this sport of tug of war in order to encourage the soldiers before the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600.
