Cheibi, also known as Cheibi Gad-Ga, is a classical Meitei traditional martial art form. It is originated from the Ancient Kangleipak (present day Manipur state). It is practised using sticks and shields.[1][2] It is related to other martial art forms of Mukna, Huiyen Lallong, Sarit Sarak and Thang Ta.[3]

"Cheibi" itself is the name of the stick used in the martial art form.[4][5][6]

Equipments

In ancient times, real swords and spears were allowed in the competition. Instead of using a sword and a leather shield, participants now use a stick wrapped in soft leather.[7][8]

The 'Cheibi' stick is typically around 2 to 2.5 feet in length, while the shield has a circumference of about 1 meter.[9][10]

Venues

The competition happens in a circle that is 7 meters wide, set on a flat surface. Around the circle, there are two lines that are 2 meters apart from each other.[11]

Rules and regulations

To decide who wins, points are earned during the duel. The points are given based on a combination of the participant's skill and the amount of force they use.[12][13]

Associations and organizations

The All Manipur Cheibi Association organized the 1st Mangsatabam Iboyaima & Arambam Punabati Memorial and the 10th State Level Cheibi Championship 2010.[14]

The All Manipur Cheibi Association (AMCA) organized a "Cheibi Competition," sponsored by the Kanglei Student Association, having two categories: Under-12 (U-12) and Under-14 (U-14), with separate events for boys and girls, in Imphal.[15]

The All Manipur Cheibi Association, along with Gem Public School, Pourabi, organized the 9th State Level Kangleipak Cheibi Yendamnaba for mini and sub-junior boys and girls. The event was sponsored by the Kangleipak Students Association (KSA) in Imphal East.[16]

The "Cheibi Association of Tripura" was established with the aim of preserving and promoting Cheibi, in the state of Tripura.[17]
