Chinlone highlight reel

of people playing the traditional Myanmar game of Chinlone is pretty amazing. Being a particularly ignorant westerner, I really had no idea of the grace & athleticism involved in the game.

I like how the women seem to be just as good as the men. Fascinating and hypnotic.

My dad brought me one of these balls when I was a boy. We never had any idea what is was for but some of my buddies and I used to play it like hacky sack. Little did we know... anyway we sucked compared to this. Thanks for the link. I'm going to find the ball and try this out again.

Beautiful - like a cross between hacky sack and capoeira... some absolutely stunning athletics and coordination there.
