Kyin ( ) is a form of wrestling from Myanmar. It is practiced by the Rakhine people in Myanmar. Tournaments of this sport are usually held during big occasions, for example, Rakhine State Day events. In Kyin wrestling tournaments, practitioners usually put on a display of warming-up dancing, which is called "kyin kwin" in the local language. Then the fighting begins. The rules are simple. No punching. No touching on the face, and no attacking below the belt. The wrestler who throws his opponent to the ground a fixed number of times wins. The walls near the cave of Shite-thaung Temple which was built in 1531 show early depiction of the sport of kyin wrestling.
