In the first days of the year, Mai Dong village festival became more attractive with the participation of powerful and experienced professional wrestlers.
On January 7 (February 16), the final wrestling matches took place at Nghe communal house yard, Mai Dong village ( Hanoi ). This activity is part of the Mai Dong village festival to review the feats and commemorate General Nguyen Tam Trinh of the Hai Ba Trung period who came to Mai village to open a martial arts school for the villagers. 
The festival starts from the 4th to the 7th of January, in which the wrestling tournament is held for 3 days with wrestling matches for the junior prize, the grand prize, and the third prize. The most exciting day is the 6th when the championship competition takes place fiercely and excitingly. The participants are famous wrestlers who have been trained systematically for many years. 
The wrestling competition does not have any weight or age categories. Any "athletes" who want to try their hand at it must register with the organizers in advance. This year's first prize was initially worth 4 million VND, but due to the continuous donations from the people, the final amount has reached nearly 21 million VND. 
Following the sound of the festival drums, the wrestling arena in Mai Dong village has many attractive matches, making the atmosphere always bustling. 
Members of famous wrestling schools in neighboring areas such as Linh Nam, Yen So... and neighboring localities also attended here. 
The match between wrestler Vu Van Thinh (yellow scarf, black pants) and Nguyen Van Doan (red scarf, red pants) attracted the most attention because both were well-balanced in terms of health and weight. 
Do Doan with fast, cunning and beautiful moves had the first victory. 
Another exciting match was the first prize, the wrestler in red shorts and black pants performed an armlock technique that made his opponent "fall flat on his back" and won absolutely in just a few minutes. 
Viewers "held their breath" watching every move of the wrestlers. 
At Nghe communal house yard, the attraction of the wrestling ring attracts hundreds of people to watch, including foreigners. 
The final match where the two wrestlers competing for first place won the previous two matches against each other. 
Wrestler Nguyen Van Doan has been practicing professional wrestling for 9 years. Although only 29 years old, thanks to his strength and skill, Nguyen Van Doan put his opponent in a "resigned" position, quickly winning an absolute victory. 
After becoming the champion of the Mai Dong village wrestling festival, Nguyen Van Doan shared that this year's opponent was not too difficult so he decided to end the match early. 
"This is my second championship this year. Before that, I also competed for first place in Lien Hiep (Hanoi) and was lucky to win, receiving a bicycle and a television. In the coming days, I will participate in at least one more wrestling tournament, both to learn and to "hunt" for lucky prizes at the beginning of Spring," Doan revealed. 
The wrestler won convincingly in the first wrestling matches of spring, demonstrating his strength and will, which many people consider to bring good luck. After the match ended, dozens of people gathered around to take pictures and shake hands with the wrestler to ask for "luck".
