Whoever explained Volleyball to Asia really messed up
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Brennan 😂👍 lost in translation
Or they just replaced using your hands for volleyball was a sport for women and they turned it up
They love football but at the same time love volleyball and there you have it the love child of both sports lol 😂
Lol this is pretty fucking funny
"everything about me will break"
same jomboy...same
Lmao
I broke a bone just watching this.
yeah. came to comments to say, same.
thunder4wolf I read this as he said this wtf😂😂
This shit is dope. I can’t lie.
Nigga you high as fukk...
Right I wish I could learn
Ikr
This shit is fucking lit
you should try it..
Trained with the Thai Army back in 2017. Lived on their base with them. They played this almost every evening behind the barracks and it blew our minds. Some of the boys gave it a try. Never came close.
Wow cool story...
I think you need to be like 120 lbs or something. Remember when you were a kid and didn't weigh nothing how you felt really light and could jump around and take falls like nothing? I think Americans in general are too big and heavy, we aren't built for this game.
I am Vietnamese American and I know about this game. It’s called differently in Vietnamese. “DA CAU”
But overall, Thai is the most dominant team. Most of these guys usually were black belts in some sort of Martial Art styles when they were young.
And they learnt how to fall, kick and spin properly when they were young. Then they picked up the game and excelled really fast.
Love it Jomboy! Keep up the good work.
Followed by Malaysia then Indonesia
It’s called CAU MAY in Vietnam actually
Is it played on a hard court because if so how do they not get concussed
Jonathan Hill yeah. Hard court it is. The reason is they need a solid platform to launch from. Dirt or sand can produce some slippery.
Also, if you look closely, when they fall down, they rolled from their arms to their backs. Just similar to those who do break dancing and perform stuns.
But concussion is very common too. Honestly, do your own research if you can. Hope this helps
@@wildatheart8894 DONALD TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT 2024!!!
I tweaked my knee picking up my undies the other day.
I once pulled a muscle in my back while reaching for tp from the john.
tweaked my shoulder taking off my sweater
I too can’t wait to be 40
I broke my hip getting out of the bed
Tore my meniscus while sleeping
Volleyball was too easy for asians to play with hands that they changed the rule to make it asian level
lol
@Timemaster f japan kinda litty at volleyball
@taranTula leGos yet they are the ones who invented almost everything
@@donaldbiden636 They made it all because of laziness. Laziness is the mother of all human creation.
@@Art-mz4su so you're saying that inventions is because of laziness?Lmao not even gonna argue 🤦♂️
Americans: volleyball
Asian: lets kick volleyball with street fighter moves.
There is also volleyball in Asia you dumbass. This is just different sports.
@@Hobie02425 joke is not funny. Why does this have to be american this and asians that?
@@Hobie02425 the joke doesnt even make sense to begin with. He is implying as if that is the asian version of volleyball. Yes jokes can be subjective but at least educate yourself b4 you make one. Anybody finds this joke funny actually says a lot about their educational level.
@@Hobie02425 so what's the hidden meaning?
@@Hobie02425 you are an idiot. Jokes are subjective as you said so It is definitely up to me to decide whether it's funny or not. You mentioned hidden meaning yet you dont even know whether there is one or not. Go take some literature b4 you trying to sound smart.
Damn, its barely even Friday here on the west coast
@@TrainOnTheWater sleep is for the weak zzz
2:43 here in Chicago
This week is going by slow
We already on Monday in Australia
Sleep when I'm dead.
I got to play this sport for a couple years in my early 20s when I was active duty. We obviously weren't Olympic caliber, but I played with some very competitive players. It was intense, and it was a lot of fun. I'm 45 now. About 3 years ago I tried to play again, and it took me less than 30 seconds to realize I was going to end up in the hospital...and I was playing on grass. 😭
I can't imagine falling on that hard ass floor for a whole game
usa kira most of these players were (or are) actually black belt in some form of martial art . That’s how they learn to fall and jump like that so they don’t get hurt too bad.
Also if you’re really really good at playing futbol (aka soccer) you’ll pick this game up very fast
I'll definitely break my neck if I try this sport
I played this game a lot when i was in Thailand. You have to come down with your hands on the floor first otherwise you won't last long. It's a very funny sport and it's not easy.
I barely make it out of bed in the morning
We need an anime about this sport like that anime in netflix about volleyball
are you talking about haikyuu? that is a good anime
@@kxmizuki2344 i dont know how many volleyball animes are in netflix but I'm sure is haikyuu.
Haikyuu is amazing
@frederick P. So u mean this ain't no anime?
Haikyuu is ahead of any sports anime and worth watching even if you don‘t like volleyball
I’m Thai and I follow you for a long time and I want to say..thank you
The balls used to be made of rattan and hurt as hell when we played them as kids. These days they're made of synthetic material. It's pronounced "tah-kraw" with a hard 'K'
According to Jomboy, tah-graw
it pronounce set-park tak - crawl
@@M40M40Y1NP31 lmao
say park - tuck raw😁
Yeah I have seen it it's really hard and hurts when you click it
I remember seeing some guys play this the first time I went to Thailand... I was blown away. I didn’t even think that it was possible to play a sport like that and actually be good at it. Next level coordination and athleticism required.
In 1968 I spent some time in Southern Thailand, and saw this being played all of the time. The ball they used was made of woven bamboo. It was HARD. Amazing skills. You have got to be in awe of their overall athletic ability.
Volleyball Level: Asian
Asians decided volleyball was too easy but gave tall white kids too much advantage, so they made a sport that no white kids could ever play and where height couldn't compensate for being agile little ninjas.
Dan B .... no doubt!!!!
Dan B lmfao true
Lol
@@JeepWranglerIslander height still matters in this. Height matters in most sports
This has got to be the hardest sport on earth.
Wavey Davey Id say hitting a 90mph fastball and golf is still much more difficult
I think that one aztec game that supposedly could go on for days might be harder. it was also used to decide wars so the stakes were pretty high.
Natasi Enasnie idk dude I feel like ppl don’t grasp the sheer difficulty of hitting a ball traveling that fast with a bat.
Did someone actually say Golf, the sport retirees play, is more difficult than this? How many golfers would even make it through one game of this? Because i feel pretty confident all these guys could knock out a quick 18.
Samuel Taylor I hear you there, I’ve played baseball for 24 years and I’m still playing so I guess I’m just used to that stuff but this was just insane to watch.
This is like the volleyball version of Shaolin Soccer: Shaolin Volleyball.
I studied in the Philippines for 2 years and I remembered going to their gym and saw the varsity team doing split and I was like WTF did I just entered, after 1 week I got curious about the sport and one of my classmate handed me the ball and letting me try it, so I said why the fuck not and I swear the moment I kicked the ball just like the way they do, I think I just ripped my groin,
damn I did not recovered until 3 hours
DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME KIDS IT'S DANGEROUS
Ok, I'll try it at work then.
Most commas ive seen in a while....
@@therealheadshotguy Are you American? We always use commas in Portuguese. I've always found it weird how people don't use commas in English, it makes the sentences so confusing sometimes.
“I can’t even attempt this” 😂 1:55
that is why you Americans will never be #1
Spoiler Alert dude honestly stfu
I wouldn't even know how to attempt this.
1:52. That’s the time you meant.
Spoiler Alert Where are you from?
I concur, I would also buy that ball at the grocery store.
Julius Caesar said the same thing at the Senate...I came, I saw, I concur
www.amazon.com/Sepak-Takraw-Rambo-Sport-Thailand/dp/B00HJTXJZI/ref=sr_1_2?hvadid=1690753451&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvqmt=e&keywords=takraw+ball&qid=1572107901&sr=8-2
They aren't expensive. I've seen them occasionally in stores in the US. I still have an old rattan ball that I got when I lived in Thailand in the very early 80s. I never saw plastic balls back then - don't know if anyone had started making those yet. I'm a little bit surprised that the official international competitions don't still use the rattan balls, considering how conservative sports can be. The plastic balls don't have exactly the same feel, but I'm sure they are more consistent and more durable than the old balls.
Mr. Dressup
I concur, monsieur.
They sell these at the Asian supermarkets, in America.
I concur but reserve the right to rescind.
I have a Sepak Takraw ball that I bought in Thailand and let me tell you, that thing is incredibly harder than you would think. Sure all the athletics in the sport are insane but I'd hate to have to block someone kicking that thing at me.
1:00 look how he landed on one foot and also preparing for the kick. Insane
Someone’s been watching the Ocho again.
And I was the 8th thumbs up. Yeah me. Sigh. No life.
You just can't get enough
"They just know how to fall properly I guess" ok that line made me laugh.
It is pretty funny, but for stunt doubles, skaters, MotoGP bikers and free runners that is a legit skill that they actually practice.
Rules: So how hard to you want this game to be?
Players: Yes
Fun fact: in real volleyball, you're allowed to kick the ball too.
I've seen it in the Olympics and was so confused.
@@JonatasAdoM though it is allowed to kick volleyball . It is not encouraged.
@@sanjeevdandin9350 more that it’s just usually pretty dumb unless there’s no other option cause you get less control and power. Which really shows how insane what these guys are doing is
@@danielmorgan1108 you get much much more power from kicking the ball, but yeah you have a little bit less controll
@@Nihao_Ninjas well if you’re like drop kicking it sure but when it comes to this hitting vs normal v-ball id bet it’s about equivalent and for things like passing or setting you’d have to be so careful with your foot for accuracy’s sake that you would get basically no power
Imagine being the clown in the comments saying that golf is harder than this
You are exaggerating. They kick the ball and jump incredible yeah, but if you look at the game play, then you will see that they rarely have long bal exchanges unlikely in normal volleyball. Sure they use their feet but it results in them hitting it less and etc.. So in a way it is harder but at the same time the execution and precision is worse, it does not really count. It is like saying look I can juggle with my nose and then youthorw each ball up once with your nose and never catch them
@@mokubakaiba1751 it is a different kind of hard, als chess is a lot of just studying. A huge part of it isn't even skill just time investment to remember opening endgame rules and etc.
Imagine comparing a physical sport to a completely different one. That's not how it works man
Sepak Takraw is discouraging for beginners. The learning curve for golf is easier. Anyone can swing the club at the ball. People can play golf at every level. You give a kid a golf clubs and they'll happily hit the ball and improve themselves as they do. You ask a kid to start playing sepak takraw and that kid will most likely quit. And this apply to all things, if it's too hard at the beginning, more people will quit.
@Saul lol just like in any sport. What sport do you know of where a newbie can become a pro without years of training?
"this makes no sense how he didn't break his neck" 🇹🇭
When this sport was first introduced to the world, people were just like “nah it’s too hard, we’ll use our hands.” Thus, volleyball was created
😂
I’ve been waiting for ever for jomboy to analyze kick volleyball.
I live and work in Thailand. Pick up games of this sport are played in parks, and they are amazing to watch.
I stumbled upon a game in progress while traveling in Thailand. This video shows elite athletes. I saw farm boys from the rural north, but they were badass, too. They were playing on a grassy clay field. Like Jomboy said, I guess they know how to fall...
Player: master, from whom i should learn the proper landing technique?
Master: talk to master ming.
Player: who is he?
Master: he's just a stray cat living in the streets
Never learn with a pilot
Nice but should have been master Miao.
Loving the content man 👍🏾💯
"if I saw this ball at the grocery store I would buy it immediately"
Fucking hilarious!
Those fans look like they're having a hell of a time though. Looks legitimately fun!
Football: Bicycle kick goals are Puskas?
Takraw: We do it every seconds every day here
Football's more about tactics but okay.
@@Ryan-Ahmed you must be fun at Parties
@@Ryan-Ahmed he's talking about the puskas awards. normally when those type of bicycle goals happen it gets a puskas award. these dudes do it practically everyday.
@@lonk1769 Aight man 😒
This might be my new favorite underground sport, can't wait to see it on ESPN ocho
We had Indonesian exchange students join our highschool in the eighties (yeah I am old). They brought one of these balls and taught us to play. The ball is actually made of wicker, like a basket. We obviously couldn't do the spikes etc but it was mad fun. It really improved my bicycle kick for football. They were crazy good but took it easy on us Aussies. Baik baik saga! Super bloody bagoose!
where in football do people bicycle kick haha
@@matthias8161, try calling soccer what the rest of the world calls it.
dont think so buddy its called soccer here@@cepi4938
hell no@@cepi4938
This has to be legit one of the hardest if not the hardest sport to play that I’ve seen in my life. I cannot think of a more difficult sport.
If ur say its the hardest sport ,ur actually suck at evety sport lol ...this sport in my opinion only need more practicing of jugling
Kazkade TV are you kidding me? This is a combination of karate, soccer, gymnastics, volleyball. It’s insane. I’d break my neck or my back in the first try.
Kazkade TV we can all tell your a 12 year old kid with a failing TH-cam channel that you’ll look back on and ask “why did I think that was a good idea?”
C J I was like him when I was 12 lmao, now almost out of high school, I’ve found some of my TH-cam comments again and oh boy LOL
Kazkade Musicz are you a sped? LMAOO
We were playing hacky sack in a public park(way,way back in the '80's)when we saw a Hmong family reunion at the other end set up a net. They started playing this and we just watched in awe. Maybe not as many bicycle kicks, but it was nuts to see how good they were - even at a casual get-together. I imagine they were chuckling to themselves watching the stoners kick a little bag of leather.
I would love to see more of these kinds of sports n the mainstream sports streams on TV and where ever else. It's so mind blowing to watch
A bunch of friends and I bought a ball and played in the courtyard of my high school a few years back, well kind of. we had 2 people hold a pvc pipe, and we basically played hackey sack over the pipe, but it was so much fun, and got us yelled at by the teachers way too much.
Nobody:
TH-cam: yo kick volleyball tho
I believe that Azula, Zuko, Ty Lee and Mai were playing this in the episode of ‘The Beach’.
This game is insane!! Ive never seen it my life. Those kicks were awesome!
This sport is legit. Its in the Asian Games(olympics) and it has more than 900 years of history
"If I saw this ball at the grocery store..."
This made me lol
That was truly some amazing athletic play. Surprisingly those guys don't get hurt. Thanks for sharing.
Your commentary is hilarious. Exactly what I'm thinking when I watch that crazy sport.
Jomboy: look at the screengrab of how high this guy is.
Me: don't judge me.
Wait until you realize how that last point wasn't blocked at all, he just purposely hit the ball with his sole so the ball bounce over the blocker. The precision in this sport is just mindblowing
I remember seeing a few guys playing this in the background of a scene in Van Damme's 'Kickboxer', when he and his brother are doing pad work in Thailand. Always thought it was cool how they looked like martial artists playing volleyball.
I remember back in school out PE class had a bunch of these kick volleyballs and none of us knew what they were for but they were fun to kick around cause they made a really unique "chack!" sound when kicked.
Jomboy I used to play this sport weekly when I lived in Korea. The Koreans called it sujoku. Very fun.
“Acting like the live on a trampoline “ 😂😂😂😂
1:25 Jomboy sounds like he's doing a breakdown of me when I get up in the morning.
Used to play this all the time in high school our gym teacher introduced us to it great game
I live there - you see those courts in almost all parks & some large government parking lots - many on hard surfaces....A lot of participation....They are lithe, quick, & athletic....There's a few other foot only sports; one including a hoop/basket about 15' high.....
@Jm Gonzales The hoop/ring is about 16 feet in the air & 6 - 8 players are in a circle & try to kick it over and back down through the ring....Don't know the name but they play every night at the park....The ball seldom hits the ground....Feet only.....Sorry, don't know the name.....

camelvids10 yeah, you’re jealous you haven’t won at life yet
FIRST
👍
camelvids10 hey. Go fuck yourself.
Your comment when you compared these guys to baseball players pulling muscles was gold.
Next Fun sport Friday please do RADBALL
Whatever it costs you gotta get Jason Bateman on as Pepper Brooks for a segment and run it as the Ocho just once. Would be legendary
As a SE Asian, been waiting for this.
Nevah hoid of this game. It looks pretty tough to play!
this was a great commentary
When I was young there used to be a show called the wild world of sports (back in the 80’s) This was on it a lot. Always loved watching it
This is one of the craziest sports I’ve ever seen. The height these dudes get is scary and, they’ve obviously learned how to fall by watching a ton of pro wrestling.
In all fairness to baseball players, they are fairly inactive through most of the game. Their fitness comes from being able to perform some pretty high level athletics and physically stressful mechanics in short burst with minimal warm up. So it's not surprising if they pull muscles or you hear them suffering from muscle, bone and nerve strain. In more active sports your body stays warm, your muscles are loosened up and your brain generally on pace with the speed the game moves at.
And yes, Takraw players are just more comfortable falling. You are usually always spinning when trying to score, be it bicycle kick or swinging side kick, so they always carry that momentum so instead of falling, they are more often rolling. You can also see that with that rolling motion they use their hands and arms a lot to cushion and continue the rolling momentum til they are either back on their feet or on their chest so they can push themselves up. It's liking doing a bad cartwheel as opposed to trying to catch yourself doing a belly flop. The horizontal movement of the cartwheel will be easier on your hands and arm while the vertical movement of the belly flop is just gonna hurt even if you catch yourself with your arms.
This is so amazing!!
Your commentary brings me life
If one of those guys wanted to kick someone in the nuts there is LITERALLY nothing that could be done to stop them.
This has got to be the coolest shit I've seen.
WOW! Thanks for showing us this! Where’s that channel!!! Lol
I'd love to hear you do a breakdown on Australian Football League (AFL)
For whoever is interested, it's pronounced SEE-PAK TAH-CRAW. Its a pretty popular south east asian sport. I remember we had a team in my primary (elementary) school in Singapore. Its sortta exactly kick volleyball just with a rattan ball. Its mad athleticism!
Could you clarify the pronunciation a little bit? From what you wrote I'm getting something like [sipɑk̚ tɑːkɹɑː], but from translation TTS for Malay and Thai I'm getting more along the lines of [sepaː tak̚ɹâ]. Thanks.
I would tear an ACL on my first kick attempt lol
This is amazing!!
Mad shit! Much respect👍
"I can't even attempt this" is my favorite Jomboy comment of all time.
I played volleyball in high school and that was tough enough. I can’t imagine not being able to use my hands.
I remember playing this back when I visit thailand, I’d say I’m pretty good at most sports but this is just super hard.
I played with my Malaysian teammates from University soccer and it's a wild game. I have a ball, let a Malaysian restautant use it here in Switzerland for decoration.
"They just know how to fall properly I guess?"
This confirms a theory that I've had for a while that Asian people are actually just large cats.
But eat dogs
100 Percent% I know that’s a joke but literally only China does and a handful of other countries only have a minority that do. The joke shouldn’t be Asians. It should be the Chinese.
@@Percent-ed2el Don't knock it till you try it...
@@Percent-ed2el I love dogs.
They taste great.
I don't eat them anymore.
I still love them though.
@@Percent-ed2el lol its just Vietnam tho ..
As a Malaysian, thank you for the breakdown of this sport
🤔
Haha so i saw a short and wanted to see this sport in full. Literally guessed kick volleyball.
Ok... you know these dudes do Muy Thai and Tai Kwon Do as their day job cuz that leg dexterity is not a coincidence
I can just imagine somebody would eventually get kicked in the head in this sport
How about rugby sport your dumb pussy girl
@@kazkade777 if I could down vote you. I would.
@@kazkade777 ... Is it possible to take someone else's comment privilege away?
It does happen.
Yeah it has happened once. Aizat Nordin kicked the ball into Azlan Alias' head during the 2019 Malaysia takraw season (STL). The ball was wedged in the middle when Aizat went for a spike and Azlan went for a header. The ball crumpled and broke but Azlan only needed a few minutes of recovery before he was on his feet
Damn this is sick. One of the less weird fun-sport fridays 🤣
In Brasil we play "futvôlei" (basically foot volleyball) and the net is way higher than that, not sure if it's a thing only here or not but either it's hard af
Seh-PAK TAHK-Rao, that's how you say it, Jomboy.
We play this game in Brazil, but here we play in beaches and call it “Futevôlei”
this is austronesian tradition with different name, different way of play from every ethnic group in south east asian, until it was united in one association and compete with other nation, back then they use bamboo or rattan and shape it as a ball, (the bamboo & rattan is so hard, if u don't get use to it, some of ur head or leg will have a blue mark), as u can see right now the association only include plastic ball, which is the ball is not to hard as a previous ball
used to play this all the time when i was kid ofc not as crazy as the one in the video just the basic play for fun with friends but occasionally we do the high jump smash move not always work of course hehe
I played this when I went to Malaysia, definitely no where near the level of these dudes, but it was actually a hella fun sport. I think it’d be a cool sport to have a large international following.
Watching this makes me question why any TV time is devoted to golf. Oh, wait, I've been questioning that my whole life!
Take golf off the TV. Take golf out of the Olympics. We need more stuff like this instead!
It’s weird watching these and finding yourself cheering for one of the teams
I tried hacky sack at the beach back in the day, I wasn't very good. Went back to beach volleyball where I found some success.
I love foreign sports,THIS WAS AWESOME
There is simply no way you can beat Thailand in sepak takraw.
Unless you are malaysia, sometime... but thailand train in their own sport called takraw lod huang that's why they're so precise
