Inbuan is a traditional indigenous sport of the state of Mizoram that resembles combat-wrestling.

The sport is played in a circle with a diameter of 15 to 16 feet and the flooring may be either on a carpet or grass. A winner is declared when a competitor succeeds in lifting his opponent off the ground, using strength, skill and rapid movement of the arms and legs. Legs are used to loosen the grip of an opponent's legs or feet, but kicking is prohibited.

The contest is conducted over three rounds, each of 30 to 60 second duration, or till one of the players is lifted off the ground. Stepping outside the ring and bending of knees is not permitted. The belt or catch-hold rope, around the waist, has to remain tight all through the game.
