With [livejournal.com profile] seespikerun as an inspiration, I discovered that Wikipedia didn't have an article about "hit for hit," that ritual combat game that some aggressive young guys play. Surprised me, because I think it's fairly universal, isn't it? So anyway, I started an article, but I've not had a lot of luck finding citations on the web. I need to check the academic literature. Any suggestions?

The film The Fast Runner has a scene with this. I didn't know what it was called, but it's REALLY brutal. One of the hardest-to-watch fight scenes ever. You really feel the pain!

Oh yeah, Atanarjuat. I saw that when it came out. Powerful movie. I had forgotten about the hit-for-hit game in it.
