Sepak Takraw (Like kung-fu volleyball)

So I’ve just discovered this game called Sepak Takraw. It’s kind of like volleyball, but it’s played with the feet. The players do these crazy overhead and flipping kicks to hit the ball over the net. Insane. I can’t even imagine the level of skill it takes to be able to control the ball this well with these type of kicks, let alone the conditioning required to be able to do them.

Here’s a match between (I believe) the Thailand and Vietnam women’s teams.

And a slow motion clip of a kick from a men’s game in Thailand.
