This is how children play in Korea it's similar to playing chicken on the monkey bars in America. IIRC it's called dak sam, dak stands for chicken, sam I have no fucking clue.

The goal is to knock the other person to the ground using your knee.

This is so much funnier now that I know what it is. Shit is ridiculous.

From I've read before, the two teams playing are suppose to be intense rivals as well adding even more fun to the mix.

^ This is true, my Korean Taekwondo instructor would make us do this if we ended a spar in a tie :D he called it chicken fight

It's kind of like when you wrap one arm around your neck with the other shoved under it, and try to use that arm to hit people.

I saw a group of Afghan children doing this right outside the fence when I was deployed to Bahgram AB. Then one got mad and started pushing the others over.
