It's a new sport I'm playing in school
Sepak is Malay(right word?) for kick and Takraw is Thai for the woven ball
To give the two countries credit because it was disputed for a while who actually invented it.
The Server must keep one foot in the circle while serving and the tossers cant move out of their circle until the server contacts the ball, the court is similar to a badminton doubles court, you can only score on your serve, you can only use you legs and head and maybe
****ing badass in my opinion

A really interesting sport. I like how these sorts of sports are created, though we have similar with Footboli, this is much harder as its in a gym, and not on a beach, and these guys have some acrobatic moves that just makes the sport exciting to watch.

Played this a bit back when I was in Junior High....yeah....all the way back in 1987-1989.
We had about 6 or 7 kids from Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos who got us 'seasoned' in this sport.
You see, we played it 3rd world style....like they did back in the day.
Barefoot and barelegged.
You had to go through a long and painful initiation period where you dreaded hitting the ball because of the pain....and you evolved into the kind of striker that liked that sting when you hit the ball.
I think this is the same video, I just embedded it for ya.

I fixed his video.
Sounds like a combiniation of
Volleyball/Badminton/HackeySack/soccer.
Id play if I could find a game of it.
