Etu is a traditional form of ceremonial boxing practiced on the Indonesian island of Flores.[1]

The fighters use boxing gloves made of bamboo craftings called kepo, and they are only allowed to hit with one of their hands wrapped with a kepo. The other unwrapped hand is used to deflect enemies' blows.[2]
