"but there is a few other things you need to understand before playing or going to a game" -yeah.. you need to be an Asian NINJA
Almost!
I am........
LOL!!
Trying to be a ninja...haha
Yeah. You're halfblind when you play Sepak. You must expect that the ball is there.
What an incredible display of acrobatics. If I attempted this, my neck would be broken within a few minutes
TheNeers71 Ah it's no so bad ... I'm sure if you gave it a go ... you might injure something at first, but then you'll get it!Thanks for stopping by!
***** Ninja's? Yeah, I could see that!
Ninh Ly
No you can't. They're ninjas!
XD
A few minutes?
Mine would break in less than a nano second
Same
I no joke want this in the Olympics. This is more hype than dressage by far...
Agree. This would be a great addition to the Summer Olympic Games
I think that if a few more countries started to play it, it might get in. Sports need a certain amount of global appeal before the Olympics allow them.
Dressage has a beauty on its own. No need to drag it (even though it's so dang boring if watched without any idea).
Argee this is honestly more interesting than sport I've ever watched.
I think it will soon. It will be first introduce to Youth Games 2022 (teen Olympics). And Olympics 2024
"Hey let's play Badminton"
"I thought we are gonna play football"
"How about both?"
this looks more entertaining than volleyball and soccer
Sometimes it is! Thanks for the comments, be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
t raven Sepak Takraw literally translates to 'kick ball' or some calls it Kick Volleyball, a sport originated from south-east asia, 'sepak' is a malay word which means 'to kick', while 'takraw' is a thai word which means something like 'woven ball', because of it being played with a woven rattan ball.. the sport is LIKE a combination of football(due to the rules of no touching the ball with hand when game commence) & volleyball with a little tinge of semi-martial arts skill put into it.
t raven Agreed ;)
FOOTBALL
Thank you
What a crazy but awesome game!
+Gary Ormond I know, right?!Thanks for stopping by, be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
+Ninh Ly already shared. definitely something to watch for on CZcams. :-)
Gary Ormond Thanks man, I appreciate it!
+Ninh Ly it's like kick boxing lol
Gary Ormond ii
Looks really hard
Jake Star It does, but I think you'd quickly get used to it!Thanks for stopping by! :)
Vanilla
That's what she said.
It is. Stop playing it because I always broke my ankle.
It is easy if u know how to play
*I do know how to play*
Yeah! But you practice or play with your own soccer ball you would skill it.
Seriously, why aren't more nations playing this game? This is like a Chuck Norris film, but in a sport!
Elliott Cox Ah, I get the Chuck Norris reference you made. Well played sir! Seriously though - more nations should be playing this ... this is actually a pretty cool sport!

Just import the coach from malaysia, thailand and indonesia and play the game
Few reasons.
Main one; injuries. This is an insanely injury prone sport. Like. I can't tell you how vulnerable all of this is. Doing a backflip and landing sideways on your knee is a recipe for a short career. There's no way to make this safe without taking away the whole spectator appeal of it.
Second...Westerners are generally a bit taller. Like by a lot. The net is 5 ft. If you're 6'0, tell me how you're going to be able to get good leverage to kick the ball at 5'? Well, you aren't. Your leverage isn't there. Basically the taller you are, the less power you kicks are going to be, the slower you're going to be, the less flexible you're going to be(debatable). Being taller severely lowers your efficiency at this game. Also being taller makes this injury prone sport even more injury prone. Notice how basketball players get lots of injuries and they often just jump up and down, and forward.
@@myrusEW just get the short Westerners to play
@@myrusEW As someone already said, just make in the rules an standar height. As in some fighting sports depends on weight. Same but with height.
is not crazy.
even on horse racing, jockey should not be so heavy nor tall etc etc
Quite nice to see you covering a sport from our side of earth (southeast Asia). It's quite unfortunate that this sport isn't quite popular in other regions
Yes, I agree. This is a cool sport. Shame that it's not more popular.
It would be nice if you got it into the olympics
Where can you stream it? I want to bring this to Europe!
This looks really fun. There are a lot of chances for injuries in this game, but I am sure with physical training it’ll all be good. If it’s added to the Summer Olympics, this sport will gain more popularity in other Asian countries and Europe, Africa, America and Oceania 👍
this is one of the most underrated sports, its very dificult because it requires great flexibility and leg dexterity, and besides, the acrobatic shots look very cool
Couldn't agree more!
This is a great game.
love how you not only explain the regular sports, but also these unknown pieces of awesomeness... i want to try this sometime soon :D
+Maurice Krol
Thanks Maurice, I appreciate the comments on my sports videos. Whether they're well known or not, I try and explain sports as simply as possible. Thanks again, be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
Dont make it sounds overly complicated. This is a game based sport, its suppposed to be fun not scary.
1. No, you dont need to do acrobatic. A simple header is enough to get you a score.
2. No, you dont need to do tae kwon do for the serve. A simple kick with your inside foot is enough to move the ball from your field to the other side.
3. No, you dont need to link your hands together for celebration. You can choose your own badass celebration as you like.
Remember that this is a game, so have fun.
These guys are ninjas
Hell yeah they are! Thanks for the comments, be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
why isn't this game included in the olympics? it's such a fast and fierce game, and fascinating.. thanks for the vid!
+Ellis Bakhtiar It IS a cool came and it SHOULD be in the Olympics. I think the reason why it's not is that not enough international countries play it. It's really only popular in east Asia. Thanks for stopping by, be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
+Ninh Ly *popular in southeast asia not east Asia
Because only 1 country can be a winner for this game
Olympics have a requirement of enough countries playing it for it to be added as a sport
This sport is for the Zlatan Ibrahimoviches around the world
+Raiyan Talukder Yes indeed! Thanks man, I appreciate the comments. Be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
and Ronaldinho too for sure XD
Ye i play
Thanks for your time and efforts on this easy to understand and entertaining video. Cheers.
I miss watching takraw live specially in intramurals where different colleges compete.
Extreme Hackysack
Never thought about it like that ... but yes, you're right!
Excellent video. Beautifully explained.
It’s very helpful to those who want to know new game rules ®ulations
That's fucking epic. Injuries must happen often but the sport is awesome!!!!
Yes, this sport is epic for sure!
On the contrary, injuries rarely occur
But when there's injury, it's painful.
"before you try to play" i couldn't play this sport in my life even if i tried lol
It's easier than you think!
@@NinhLyUK That might be teeeeeechnically correct since it looks damn near impossible for anyone who isn't a character in a tournament fighter video game >.>
You don't even have to be as acrobatic and as flexible as they are. Just needs to be able to kick the ball over the net. You absolutely can do it while remaining upright at all times.
Can't decide to watch soccer or tennis? now you don't have to....
Exactly!
Nem um dos dois ! É diferente
Thank you for this video! Explaining the rules of this game is difficult... you did a great job
Thank you for the short and sweet video
Me as a member of under 18 sepaktakraw team representing my state,from india,can tell you that all these stunds performed as shown here woud only be performed in internationl events,we are not trained here to do such moves,just casual ones
Here in Malaysia or Thailand, roll spikes and other ‘stunts’ are normal in a middle/high school tournament.
This game is from Malaysia but Thailand is dominating this game. Basically there are 3 player per side and have three difference role. First, the "Tekong" who is taking serve. Second, the feeder the player who is setting the ball to the third player which is killer aka spiker. There is a new way to playing Sepak Takraw which only two player play per team. Their rules is same but it serve at the back of the court just like volley ball.
Thank you for sharing :)
Syakir Shamsuddin Anytime! Be sure to share this video if you can.
+Syakir Shamsuddin If this games were played only by two player, I don't think it should be called as Sepak Takraw anymore. Traditional three man team has been played since hundred years ago, and I think that was perfect.
But now, malaysian people not interested to play this game.. many young people in malaysian just interested in europe game such as soccer and futsal
Man you have to be talented like a ninja to play this game! It would be very hard to pick it up unless you have some good flexibility/acrobatics
+Kerath I dunno man, with a bit of practice and dedication, I think anyone can play this sport. Competing in the Asian games however - that takes some doing. Thanks for stopping by, be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
Here is the intro to this sport
czcams.com/video/1HryUPbmq6w/video.html
this sport is very popular in Thailand and Malaysia, but sadly in Indonesia it's only popular in some rural areas. Kids in the big cities don't play sepaktakraw anymore. Or maybe they never did.
Apparently so, yes.
I was sold on this literally from the first clip shown
oh man, we always used to play kick tennis before football practise, that was great. would have loved to have tried this.
I played this in High School im one of representative of our school by the way im from Philippines
This is a cool sport to play for sure.
Yup, ridiculously strange. I have never heard of it.
Loving your videos Sir!
Wallis_74 Yes, it's a little weird, but it's a pretty cool game to watch. Thank you very much for subscribing!
Telled by your picture, you colonized our country for hundreds of years and you didn't even notice the game our people play? Yeah came just for the sources.
I've been to Thailand and have heard this sport. Looks like great fun. Thanks for the video!
+David Hutchinson You're welcome, I'm glad you like this video on Sepak Takraw. If you haven't already, be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
Thailand is a strong team for this game
This is my favorite one
Keep posting these I love them
+CanadianBeast5 It's a little crazy for sure, but it looks like fun to play. Once again, be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
It's Philippines' national sport way back. Filipinos used to dominate it in their regional ASEAN Games. But Thailand and other neighbors caught up and dominated the sport. So Filipinos abandoned it and declared Arnis as national sport.
Yes it was. i believe the Philippines are very good at Sepak Takraw, but have been overtaken by Thailand and Indonesia.
The word sepak is Bahasa (the native language in Malaysia and Indonesia) for the word kick. The word takraw is Thai for ball. The Philippines version is played by pairs. The Sepak Takraw has a version for trois and for pairs. The one more known is the one played with threes.
I'm from Philippines and I only see this game during the school sports fest. This was not taught in our PE and I wish that they did. I particularly like the way the players did some moves like kicking while doing back spring hahahaa... It's a beautiful game but I don't see this game played on a daily basis hahaha (unlike Basketball)
Oh really? I heard it was very popular in South East Asia.
+Ninh Ly, this is very popular in other ASEAN countries. In the Philippines, I've observed that the most popular is Basketball. There are Philippine regions though that produced good players in this sport but sadly they're not really given that much attention (I don't know about the budget) compared to basketball, volleyball, etc.
Interesting. Here in Malaysia we are 'forced' to learn and play this game. But most of time, during PE, back when I was in primary school. we played football instead because it can be played by the entire class, enough students to make 2 teams.
The problem is, in most school, not every PE teachers can play this game, therefore it is hard for them to teach students how to make a strike for example. But still most schools, or at least at my school, most kids play in the evening, part of their extra-curiculum activities ( example Sepak Takraw club)
I played a lot of volleyball in college (pick-up games and intramurals). My one friend that I played with often had an Australian friend visit and we played volleyball with him. He, not once, used his hands and essentially mimicked the skills of this game (with the exception of serving; he did that normally). It was quite the sight to see.
That sounds pretty cool.
Unbelievable talented athletes shown here!
Yeah definitely!
There once were 6 friends, who wanted to play some sports. One friend wanted to play football, while the 2nd wanted volleyball. The 3rd suggested badminton but the 4th preferred tennis instead. Then there were the 2 taekwondo and kungfu masters, who wanted to do some sparring matches. And after compromising among themselves, sepak tekraw was born.
That would be nice if it was true.
This looks very exciting. Why is this not more popular?
I don't know actually. I think it's only popular in Asia.
But I think it could catch on, as the game is played on Badminton courts and there's plenty of those around.
There's no way I could play this game. I'd be too scared that I'd break my neck or something.
64imma Huge props to the guys who play this game, they have more agility than you or me! Thanks for stopping by :)
my county is no.1 from Thailand
😮💨
Reminds me of what we used to call "footvolley" here in my school
Excluding the jumping-and-kicking, that is
Yes indeed.
im a sepak player, its not hard,the ball or rattan is a little bit heavy,but.. no worries! it doesnt hurt when you kick it or you headbutt the ball.. unless the ball is heavy ..oh by the way its not hard except the rolling spikes or backflips peace :)
+Lervin Companiero Yeah, the roll spikes and back flips whilst kicking the ball certainly doesn't look easy! Thanks for stopping by, be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
Can't wait for the anime
This is awesome
wow interesting to see this sport, and my grandpa used to play this with his friends
Yeah, it's pretty cool. Wish they'd play that more here in the UK!
Very helpful video. Thank you.
Is it okay to left your foot within nthe circle while serving?
More entertaining to watch! Their flexibility and acrobatic moves are jaw dropping!
Yes they are.
THIS IS TRADITIONAL GAME FORM MALAYSIA - Before they make this game to the world game, the traditional Malays game are will play for the circle. 3 peoples to 6 peoples are common in a circle. In this village game, one has to weigh no more than 3 times and has to send it to other players for a rotating count of up to 100 times. If any player fails to weigh the ball and falls. The player will leave the court. They will continue to play until the last one survives. That person is considered the winner. To make it even more dramatic and more challenging in one game, they added some techniques and tactics into a great game. It needs to have 3 players going to face 3 players and they use some rules and some dangerous and confusing kicking features for the purpose of beating the opponent. This makes this traditional sport better known as "SEPAK TAKRAW" and is now known around the world...
@0:10 is i mistake the positrons are wrong
the striker is the bowler
Come on ninh what about the scorpion kick
These people are freaking ninjas
Apparently, the normal (non-roll) spikes are called "sunback" spikes now.
I didn't know that. Thanks for the info.
Yes, the sunback is Malasian's specialty and the rolling spikes is Thai's specialty.
recommended to be Olympic sport
I hope so! Thanks, I appreciate the comments. Be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
Tentai Kitsune_FC actually tho
why is this not an olympic game? because only asian plays it
I think it's only popular in Asia yes. But I think it could catch on, as the game is played on Badminton courts and there's plenty of those around.
confusecian , thats not the right answer . Actually western country also joined this game but they will only seen at ISTAFWC only . Us , France , Eng such an example
Many western country also joined this game.. just google it.. i thought this game can't joint the olympic games because only 1 country can be a winner for this game.. that country is Thailand haha
Southeast Asians dominate on this sport.
Thing is there a lot of compatision and even more popular sports like baseball have problem entering olympics which is already super packed. Look on World Games which features sports that are not in olympics, IOC have patrionige over them and use it as test event for potential new sport for olympics, this sport is not even there, i first find out about it here, so getting to World Games should be first step to get to olympic, it probably take few decades thru go get in to olympics ;p
Nice
i remember watching it in my village in thailand (i visit every summer) but i never got the name of it. then it came up in a yt video and now im here, reliving memories
Thanks, glad this video helps!
Thank you for making this video!
DE7ChainedDoor Anytime! I didn't know how a Sepak Takraw video would come out, but people seem to like it, so that's good! :)
This sport is original from malacca,malaysia.try find it on wikipedia
please do FOOTBALL TENNIS ( FUTNET ) and FOOTVOLLEY.
Ridiculously strange? More like ridiculously awesome.
Hell yeah it is!
Good job... One of the beloved sport by our people Cambodian
Cool - this is a great game and I think Cambodia play this very well.
Taekwondo Volleyball
Basically, yes.
I wish schools can combine badminton and sepak takraw courts into one to save space.
This is the most amazing game ever
It's pretty awesome for sure.
Ninh can you do the rules of rounders
Thanks for helping figure out the rules
No problems bro, thanks for stopping by!
Reminds me a lot of Shuttlecock, essentially the same game but played with a feathered Shuttlecock instead of a ball
Pretty much yeah. It's basically played like Badminton except for the racket and shuttlecock.
Oh My God!!! You did it! Thanks
Thanks Ally, much appreciated!
Thank you. Ninh Ly

sebab kes Indonesia tarik diri. aku kat sini.. nak study sikit rules takraw..
Okay!
Dia ajar x lengkap..time serve kaki yg x sepak xleh keluar bulatan sepenuhnya lepas tu kaki x boleh terangkat. Tapi jongket boleh. Semalam memang team Indonesia foul.
Wasitnya gak curang tapi indonesian player yang curang
great game and greatly explained...thx!
+Mushroom Man Thanks man, I appreciate the comments. Be sure to share this video and subscribe :)

On the tower stage, win both rounds using only low kick to fight Jade

Cool, thanks for stopping by, glad you like this video! :)
nice video! thanks alot just gettimg intot his game!
Thanks for the comment! I'm glad you like this video. Be sure to check out some of my other videos :)
Do rules of professional arm wrestling
We have a Brazilian version of this. It's called futevôlei
Yes, and it's great!
You should do a video about it. It would be cool
I love this
Thanks bro.
shoutout to malaysia for this awesome sport
This sport is fairly cool.
Thanks a lot I never knew this existed
Surprising isn't it Mattyl567? And yet outside of the far east, no-one plays it. Shame really, I'd happily play it.Thanks for stopping by!
Whats so weird about this sport?
This sport is sick
Nth is hard! It takes practice and passion
Why did indonesia walk out of sepaktakraw game against malaysia,? Did malaysia broke the rules? I couldn't find why...
I have no idea.
Malaysia cheated the game
3:08
I'm from the Philippines and this sport used to be our national sport. I've never played the sport myself but i don't think it is as hard as people think it is. The net is relatively short so it shouldn't be that hard to hit the ball to the other side.
Yes, that's right.
there are teams in Londen and New Castle
London and Newcastle
That game look like field version of padbol
I will appreciated if padbol rules posted in the next video
I've no idea what padbol is.
I wonder what kind of surface these games take place on? Can imagine it must be something softer otherwise it would be littered with injuries.
matthemod I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's the same surface as a badminton court (as the dimensions are virtually identical). I believe that they train to land in a way to prevent injury to themselves, but I could be wrong.If anyone who plays Sepak Takraw knows for sure, be sure to post it on here! :)
we used to play this on rough concrete, lol. official matches were on baketball courtsm with the lines and circles taped on the floor
+matthemod, I've seen players played this on a basket ball court, a badminton court and sometimes on rough concrete (like the school roads haha if there are no available spaces) as GinsuSher mentioned
I want this as an Olympic sport!
It is already in paralympics and soon will be in regular olympic game
this is very helpful.... thanks a lot :)
+ANGELA ANGELES You're welcome Angela, I'm glad this video helps you understand Sepak Takraw. Thanks for stopping by, be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
i wanna play this kind of atlethic its similar to volleyball
This should be in Olympics
Just wanna ask, do you know what country invented this😊
why is this not in Olympics ???
Much more interesting than volleyball.
I agree.
