The video tutorial describes a fight between a six-year-old and an eight-year-old ram. The younger ram is ready to compete against the older, stronger opponent. The challenger provokes the fight using body kicks and taunts. The older ram initially appears to submit but uses a strategic posture known as the low stretch to invite the challenge.
