Laamb is a type of Folk wrestling traditional to Senegal and parts of The Gambia and is part of a larger West African form of traditional wrestling. The Senegalese form traditionally allows blows with the hands(frappe), the only of the West African traditions to do so. As a larger confederation and championship around Lutte Traditionnelle has developed since the 1990s, Senegalese fighters now practice both forms, called officially Lutte Traditionnelle sans frappe(for the international version) and Lutte Traditionnelle avec frappe(for the striking version).
