Isibhakela wumdlalo wokulwa lapho abantu ababili, imvamisa begqoke amagilavu wokuzivikela nezinye izinto zokuzivikela ezifana nokusonga izandla kanye neziqaphi zemilomo, baphonsana khona ngezibhakela isikhathi esinqunyelwe ngaphambili eringini lesibhakela. Amajaji afinyelela kwamathathu ngokujwayelekile abakhona eringini lokushaya le mpi futhi anikeze abashayisibhakela amaphuzu, ngokuya ngezibhakela nezindololwane ezixhuma, ukuzivikela, ukungqongqoza, ukugona nezinye, izinyathelo ezincike kakhulu. Ngenxa yesitayela esivulekile sokwahlulela isibhakela, izimpi eziningi zinemiphumela engqubuzanayo, lapho oyedwa noma bobabili abalwa bekholelwa ukuthi "baphangiwe" noma banqatshelwe ngokungafanele ukunqoba. Isilwi ngasinye sinekona elabelwe iringi, lapho umqeqeshi wakhe, kanye "nomzuzwana" owodwa noma ngaphezulu angaphathisa owalwa impi ekuqaleni kwempi naphakathi kwamarounds. Umshayi wesibhakela ngamunye ungena eringini evela emakhoneni awabelwe ekuqaleni komzuliswano ngamunye futhi kufanele ayeke ukulwa abuyele ekhoneni lawo ekugcineni okusayiniwe komzuliswano ngamunye.
