Rules & Regulations

Jauhr E Teg tournament is advancing to a semi-continuous play style, taking our cue from the dynamic turn-taking style iconic of khulla akhara, and still played in nihang Dals and beyond today. The tournament format includes specific guidelines for the Akhara (playing area), points system, time limits, and definitions of legal and illegal moves.

The rules are designed to promote skilled footwork, dynamic defense, and proper striking technique. Matches are two minutes in length with points varying based on strike location (1-3 points). The tournament includes technical fouls and general fouls system, bonus points for successful counter-attacks after blocks, and detailed guidelines for referees and competitors. All competitors are required to familiarize themselves with these regulations before participating.
