If in modern sport there's boxing,in tradisional Lombok society there's "peresean",word "peresean" in Indonesia mean playing perisai or playing shield because the two peoples who fight are using shield which is made from rattan and covered by ox or buffalo skin,to attack each other,they using stick made from rattan too,in the past,this sport are used to train the knight and warrior (in sasak languange we called "pepadu') from Lombok to strengthen themself. But nowdays peresean are use by people to called for rain in dry season,the more blood fall from two pepadu who fight,the more rain will fall to make ricefield of farmers fertile,thats what people believe.It also held for spesial occasion or event like when a high functionary came,or wellcoming the tourist.

The component of peresean are two fighters (called "pepadu") and two referees (called "pekembar") the referee who stand in the middle of the arena called "pekembar tengaq" and the referee who stand on the edge of the arena called "pekembar tengaq",during the fight the audience will also listening to the tradisonal music played using tradisonal music instrument such as gong,suling,and kanjar to encorage the fighter,everytime one fighter could hit his enemy body ,it would be count as one point,the fight held for few round,the winner is the one get the highest point,the fight would also be stopped if there's one of the fighter surrender or could not continue the fight,after the fight,the medical team directly taking care the wound of the fighter by using special oil,even in the fight they hit each other,but after the fight,the two fighters embrace each other.
