Kite fighting has caused horrific injuries and even deaths, prompting a push for a national ban.
A bill moving through Brazil 's Congress is seeking to prohibit the manufacture, sale and use of the razor-sharp lines nationwide.
In Brazil , kites are ubiquitous, with kite flying even recognized as a cultural and historical heritage.
Rio 's military police say 10 people were detained between January and July for breaking the city's kite line law.
Last week , Rio 's municipal guard seized eight reels left behind by a group of fleeing kite-fighters at Recreio dos Bandeirantes beach, a popular site for the sport.
Many say authorities tend to turn a blind eye to the law, which limits legal use to a few areas, known as 'kitedromes'.
