Obscure sports

So you’ve probably heard of tennis, basketball or Football (which is ‘soccer’

to you Americans) – but you’ve probably not come across any of these
sports, each one weirder than the last. And no, I’m not yanking your chain,
these sports are real.

Sepak Takraw is sometimes referred to as kick volleyball. It’s essentially

volleyball but you’re only allowed to use your feet and head to hit the ball on
your opponents floor It’s very popular in Southeast Asia and there’s a ton of
unbelievable plays in this game. And by the way … if you want to find out more about it, I actually made a video about Sepak
Tawkraw right here! not. If you’re from the south of England, you’ve probably seen this before, but the idea of the game is to
kick your opponent in the shin repeatedly to try and get them onto the ground. Before the game starts, you have to stuff your
trousers full of straw, wear a lab coat for some reason, and then proceed to grapple your opponent and kick the crap out of him.
I’m not sure what the referee does, but he’s this guy here who’s holding a big stick … (and also in a lab coat) in the shins.

The Scottish are throwing around bits of tree. Caber tossing is one of the original Scottish Highland Games and believe it or not,
the object of the sport is NOT to throw the log the furthest. These logs (or cabers) are 19ft 6 inches long and weigh 175lbs and
the idea is to toss the caber onto its end and for it to land. Caber tossing is a true test of strength and explosive power unlike …
well … unlike that. last 20 years,

You’ve probably heard of Harry Potter and the fictional sport that they play known as Quidditch. Unfortunately, some bright
spark decided that they would actually play the game and introduce it to all the American colleges and Universities. So now
every Saturday you’ll see grown men and women run around a field with a broom between their legs. I’m not joking. And no
folks, I really won’t be making a video about the Rules of Quidditch anytime soon.

Wife carrying. Yes, as you’ve probably guessed by the title – you have to carry your wife over an obstacle course in the fastest
possible time. The only real requirements is that the wife must weigh at least 49kg and that the course is exactly 253.5m long.
The winner usually wins his wife’s weight in beer, so guys pick up your wife. Pick up somebody else’s wife, I don’t care … there’s
beer to be won!

A board game, mixed with boxing – the combat sport. Players alternate a round of boxing with a round of speed chess. The idea
is to punch your opponent to death, so that he can’t think straight at the chess board. Or to confuse him with chess tactics so
that they’re not concentrating on boxing. You win this sport either by knockout, or by checkmate – whichever comes first.

Now, why don’t we put dogs on surfboards instead?! Yes, over in California, they’ve decided that it’s a good idea to stick their
pets on surfboards and make them suffer Poseidon’s wrath. The winner is whichever dog is adjudged to ride the longest wave
with the most degree of certainty. Although most of these dogs don’t seem very certain at all

There are some people who felt football is just too easy.So those are the ones that decide to play football on unicycles. It’s
pretty much the same game as American Football, you can tackle, pass or cycle with the ball. And the scoring is the pretty much
same. But I can imagine the injuries from clashing unicycles being horrendous. Football not your thing? How about unicycle
hockey, or unicycle polo? Basically any team sport you can think of … on a unicycle.

Blind Football. Players are either naturally blind or blindfolded and a bell is inserted into the soccer ball. They obviously can’t see
the ball, so they have to listen for the bell inside the soccer ball and players have to constantly communicate so that they don’t
run into each other. Yeah, that’s dead easy, right?

Tube Duelling is as the name implies. It’s fighting with cardboard tubes. Players must hit each other and break their opponents
cardboard tube, without breaking their own. If time expires, a referee will measure both tubes and the tube that has bent the
least wins the duel. There’s no stabbing or lunging, no hitting in the face and cardboard armour and shields are optional. There’s
even a pro league dedicated to cardboard tube combatants … … okay?!
Honourable mention goes to the Indonesian sport of Fireball. It’s pretty much regular football, except that you set the ball ON
FIRE before you start playing! Sounds like great fun?!
