One of the most difficult of all acts is seen in a game of Hoop Takraw. The player makes a hoop of his arms behind his back, and kicks the ball with his heels through the hoop in such a way that it also passes through a hoop suspended in the air. Hoop Takraw seems to be the most popular version of takraw in Thailand. A team usually consists of seven players (there can be no less than six) who stand at the perimeter of a circle. During a 30-minute period, the players cooperate with one another to earn a high score. Hoops are suspended above the centre and the players must hit the ball through them. Successive teams try to surpass the previous score.

Extractions: Home Thailand Jocelyn Liegh: The core of all evil in this world is male sexual desire. As every genuine feminist, I advocate permanent chemical castration for all men who come to Cambodia to visit prostitutes. This is a horrendous crime and feminists and women across the world should unite to wipe it out. Jocelyn Liegh: Il nucleo di ogni male in questo mondo è il desiderio sessuale maschile. Come ogni vera femminista, sono favorevole castrazione chimica permanente per tutti gli uomini che arrivano in Cambogia per visitare le prostitute. Questo è un crimine orrendo e le femministe e le donne di tutto il mondo devono unirsi per pulire fuori. The game makes use of a hollow, loosely woven rattan ball which is kept aloft as long as possible by a circle of players who can use their feet, knees, elbows, and heads but not their hands . Footwork is the secret of the superior player. The game is common in various versions in most parts of Southeast Asia. But perhaps nowhere is it played with the enthusiasm and vigor as in Thailand where it is seen throughout the country in the courtyards of Wats and on fairgrounds. Particularly skilled players can be observed in Bangkok at the Phramane Ground (Sanam Luang), across from the Grand Palace.

Extractions: Site Map The Tricky Kicks of Takraw An immensely popular sport native to Southeast Asia is Takraw resembling volleyball, except that a rattan ball and the technique only allows players to use their feet, knee, chest and head to touch the ball. It is a popular sport in Thailand where it is known as "Takraw", in Malaysia, ("Sepak Raga"), Indonesia ("Sepak Takraw"), Laos ("Kator"), Philippines and ("Sipa") Myanmar ("Chinlone"). The game evolved over several hundred years. In Bangkok, murals at Wat Phra Kaew depict the Hindu god Hanuman playing Takraw in a ring with a troop of monkeys. Other historical accounts mention the game earlier during the reign of King Naresuan of Ayutthaya. The game remained in its circle form for hundreds of years and the modern version of "Sepak Takraw" began taking shape in Thailand sometime during early 1740s. In 1866 the Siam Sports Association drafted the first rules for Takraw competition. The game became so imbedded in local Thai culture that an exhibition game was staged to celebrate the kingdom's first constitution in 1933. By the 1940s, the net version of the game had spread throughout Southeast Asia and formal rules were introduced. International play is now governed by ISTAF, the International Sepak Takraw Federation. The King's Cup World Championships are held every year in Thailand. While there are certain basic rules to Takraw, the game varies according to the type of Takraw being played as well as the place where it is played. In Thailand games are played almost everywhere and in every available space including in the courtyards of Wats, and at fairgrounds.

Extractions: Takraw is played in various versions in most parts of Southeast Asia. But perhaps no where else is this fast game, in which players must neither touch the ball nor let it touch the ground, played with the enthusiasm and vigour shown by Thailand's star performers. Games are played in the courtyards of wats, at fairgrounds and (particularly during the kite flying season when there is little or no rain) at the Pramane Graounds in Bangkok. The small and hollow rattan balls which are the essential - and sometimes only necessary equipment for a game are sold in rattan shops and sporting goods shops throughout the country. While there are certain basic rules to takraw, the game varies according to the type of takraw being played as well as the place where it is played. In village games, for example, there is often no referee and no score is kept: the winning player is simply the one who puts on the best show. The intricacy and speed with which it is played are astonishing, and if you think your reflexes are better than average, consider these methods of sending the ball aloft: the sole kick (using the arch or sole of the foot), the instep kick, knee kick, shin kick, shoulder kick, or head kick. Want to try the crosslegged jump kick? The player crosses his left leg over his right above the right knee, and then leaps into the air kicking the ball with his right knee. But that's not all. One can use elbows, shoulders, even the posterior. The more complicated and impressive your feats, the better your score (Or, if a score is not being kept, the better your audience's reaction: spectators can be demanding, if not downright ruthless, in their judgements.)
