It's Rokkaku Battle Time!

Recently Rokkaku battles gained a lot of intention and are part of numerous kite festivals. The photo above shows a Rokkaku battle in Verdun, 1995. The aim of the game is simple: bring the other kites down and stay alife. Bringing the other kites down can be performed by any means possible in the sky - not on the ground. Thus either you bring the other kites down by manouvering your kite in such way, that the others get unstable (for example you collide with another kite which crashes and you stay alife) or by line cutting (one line the other). Thus the battle is actually very friendly and nothing happens to the people involved.
