A style of fighting, originating in Thunder Bay, Ontario Canada, where two participants hold on to their ankles (resembling a chicken) and try to knock each other over. The first one to lose their balance or let go of their ankles is declared the loser. It has been dated back to at least 2006, with the earliest recorded "Chicken Fight" happening at "DaVinci Sports Bar".It is rooted in the ancient Japanese sumo wrestling.
Participant 1 and Particpant 2 both grab their ankles and try to knock each other over. All the while, the crowd chants "CHI- CKEN- FIGHT!" (Chicken Fight)
