Sepak Takraw

Does this look strange to you? I never thought I'd see a foot go so high! This is a game called Sepak Takraw, it is most popular in Southeast Asia, but is starting to gain popularity in other countries. The game's name translates to "Kick Volleyball", so imagine playing volleyball without your hands... and you've got it!

This spike at the net takes extreme flexibility and agility- not to mention guts!

Purpose of this blog
