For the entirety of the celebration many clan members find themselves in the fighting ring for the traditional “Airing of Grievances”. It is during this time that members call out others who have slighted them in the past year. Each warrior is covered only in cloth to cover their more modest parts, and wear light padded grappling gloves.

The fight itself only ends when one participant is knocked out, or when ones head is forced to the ground. At the end of the fight itself, both warriors must shake hands or embrace each other as brothers/sisters. All bad blood from the previous year is forgiven. If a fighter does not embrace their foe, the judge will usually strike the offender with a whip.

You may choose a random unnamed Mando warrior as your opponent for this. You are welcome to give them a name, and describe them as needed. You may also choose to face off against a fellow Clan member, however keep in mind that the organizers will use that persons Character Sheets as a basis for them when they grade. You must also obtain permission to use someones character, if you choose to write them into your submission.

Grading will be done according to the official VOICE grading rubric, which can be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_PAFfddgVxriU_o0zD6OQbI9hm1KAArl9BfjXG_2sv8/pubhtml
