I discovered CarJitsu this past April at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, where a bout was broadcast on a wall-mounted television above a display of Doritos. There is, truthfully, not much to explain about this newfangled sport. CarJitsu is an athletic contest, really a wrestling match, between two people who grapple inside a small car until one of them submits to some sort of chokehold or pin. There are two three-minute rounds but possibly a third if the match is tied after the second round. The combatants start buckled next to each in the passenger and driver seats (selection determined by a coin toss), then unbuckle themselves and attack.

I actually found it moderately amusing. Practical fighting. 😄
The same people also did tire wrestling where the object was to push your opponent through the hole in a stack of truck tires.

The car isn’t moving, so this is basically a chair. Lame

Yeah they should fight in the backseat while mom drives and tries to stop them with her one free arm.

I'd actually consider watching that. Maybe use celebrity guests as the driver. Add a little "WWE" to the mix.

No wait this kind of rules. It's like knife fighting in a telephone booth
