Rules

- Let's stand in a circle.
- This games works without touching each other. We don't really "attack" ourself. We'll just send impulses to each other.
- When I want to attack you I'll do this movement and shout "Ha".
- You (the person I just attacked) receive the impulse, do this movement and shout "Ha".
- Now the two persons next to you defend you. They do this movement and shout "Ha".
- At the end you attack somebody else by doing this movement and shouting "Ha".
- It's very important that moving and shouting happens with a certain rhythm. It should be "Ha" – "Ha" – "Ha" – "Ha"…
