Sepak Takraw
Personal thoughts on the game, some photographs, and a summary of the rules.

Extractions: "...soccer, volleyball and gymnastics played in one." I love sport. I love to watch track and field, boxing, and swimming. I play Basketball, Volleyball, Soccer, and Gymnastic but sometimes it's boring. What about playing gymnastic, volleyball, and soccer played in one, cool isn't it? You can play it all by playing Sepak takraw. I played it well during my high school. Sepak takraw is originated and a popular ballgame in South East Asia. It is one of the sports has medal at stake on South East Asian Games and Asian Games. A very interesting game and you can see a lot of gymnastics exhibitions more than what Michael Jordan do on the hoops. Takraw ball is made of rattan or very hard plastic weighed approximately 250 grams. Ruling and point system is almost similar to volleyball. You can use head, body, legs and anywhere for volleying and smashing the ball except that the player can't touch with his hand. Facility is not expensive, so you can start right now. Photos of smashing and blocking. Cool, isn't it? Some players used their head to block the ball and I experienced hitting to the head. Also you can invent how to smash the ball like runs up to the net, jump, float in the air, flip upside down while spinning like a helicopter, kick the ball more or less 60 miles per hour. Warning! don't do this while you are still new. Point sytem and ruling.

Extractions: JAPANESE ENGLISH WARNING This page is being translated from Japanese by using the translation software. Approve it though it thinks that there is an a little funny expression. Do you know Sepak Takraw? Sepal Takraw was created by the royal family of Malaysia about 500 years ago. The name itself comes from two languages. Sepak is "kick" in Malay, and Takraw is the "ball" in Thai. When it is born, It looked like Japanese "Kemari", and some became a circle, and a pole was kicked, and the number of times was being competed in. It looks very similar to the Japanese traditional game, "kemari" where the players form a loose circle and the number of times the ball is kicked before it touches the ground is counted. In 1965 the game was unified into the present volleyball style with the addition of a net and the adoption of international rules. The court and the net height and size are identical to those used in badminton and each team has three players. The rules are very similar to those in volleyball , with the following five important exceptions The use of hands is not permitted.

Extractions: Takraw is played in various versions in most parts of Southeast Asia. But perhaps no where else is this startling 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 Grounds 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 source 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 reflexers 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? That consists of crossing your left leg over your right and leaping up to kick the ball with the instep of the left foot. Another version is the crosslegged knee kick. In this one 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.

For you maybe these words mean nothing... but not for long :) Someone told me this sport is "...soccer, volleyball and gymnastics played in one." And in my home opinion the most exciting things about this game are the discoveries of how much you can do with your feet. Oh yes, it's worth being played. This skill ball game, originated in Asia, today has become an alternative sport, which is quite popular all over the world. History in brief. So the history of this sport movement is as following... I think it's not a surprise for you that every nation has her proud myriad of cultures, arts, literature and traditional sports. It is recorded in the cultures of South-East Asia nations as early as in the 11th century that the game was played extensively - Takraw in Thailand, Sipa in the Philippines, Sepakraga in Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei, Ching Loong in Myanmar, Rago in Indonesia and Kator in Laos. It is also recorded that in one of his many trips, the merchant Marco Polo brought back to Europe a game from China which was kicking an implement into the air and counting the number of kicks, a style resembling today's sepak takraw game. Sepak takraw is a skill ball game, which requires the use of the feet and head to keep the ball in the air in a targeted direction. Traditionally, villagers stand in a circle and display keen understanding and teamwork to help one another keep the ball in the air for as long as possible. It provided villagers of all ages with fun, recreation and a sense of shared community. This was the traditional circle game, evolved from many forms of kicking game. Today, the circle game is still popular throughout South-East Asia and has taken a hold as a form of recreational "sport for all".

Volleyball Sepak Takraw : Asian Sport Sarah Dion-Marquis Jun 26, 2007 Sepak Takraw is widely popular in most of Asia, where sepak takraw courts are as common in parks as hockey and soccer fields in Canada. The sport that originated in Malaysia and Thailand is catching on in the rest of the world. For Rick Engel, the president of the Sepak Takraw Association of Canada (STAC), sepak takraw is one of the most exciting spectator sports on the planet. "It is just so incredible to watch," said Engel. The Asian game is best described as soccer-volleyball on a badminton court. It incorporates the precision of badminton, the speed of volleyball and the kicks of soccer. The three players on each side of the net can use anything but their hands and arms to pike the unique hand-woven ball into the opponent's court. What is addicting for players is the motivation to improve their ball handling skills. For skilled players, it means to be able to break their own record of consecutive kicks, to kick the ball in different ways with both feet, to "kick hoops", to jump up and spike the ball and to anticipate where the ball will be coming over.

Extractions: Sepaktakraw will continue to be a major sport in the Asian Games. Like in 2002 in Busan, six gold medals will be up for grabs once again at the Doha Games in Qatar. The events to be contested are: Men and Women's Regu and Doubles, with three medals at stake in each category. This shows that we have high recognition in Asian sports," said Mr. Abdul Halim Kader, the Singapore Sepaktakraw Federation (PERSES) President soon after his return from Doha recently. Mr. Abdul Halim, who is also the Secretary General of ISTAF, added that the circle events have been replaced with a new and more exciting event - the Doubles. This is due to certain problems with the counting in circle events. Now, with the Doubles, the event should be more exciting and less controversial. In any case, we will review the counting system to make it possible for Sepaktakraw to be an eight-gold sport," he added. Mr. Abdul Halim led a 17 men delegation of officials and players from Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore to the Qatar international Sports (QSI) exhibition, held in Doha from 1-9 April. The QSI exhibition has been an annual even for the last two years, bringing together hundreds of sporting companies and federations from around the world in one setting.

Imagine a net like in volleyball, then reduce the volleyball to the size of a grapefruit and make it out of rattan, and that's all the equipment required for a Sepak Takraw game. But, unlike volleyball where you can use your hands, in Sepak Takraw the players are only allowed to touch the ball with their feet, body or head. This leads to some of the most amazing acrobatics ever seen on a court. In fact, Sepak Takraw is very much like a mix between volleyball, gymnastics, kung fu and circus acrobatics. You've got to see it to believe it! In Thailand, the game is called just Takraw, and is often played by laborers or motor-cycle taxi drivers at the end of the day, when they want to wind down. They will find an empty piece of land where they will park two trucks or cars. Then they will string up a takraw net between the two vehicles and, voila, the game of takraw can begin.

Of course what is known most internationally is Sepak Takraw (Kick Volleyball). What caught our attention though was a brief paragraph about "Takraw Lot Huang" called "Hoop Takraw" or "Thai Basketball". It said Hoop Takraw was one of the most popular forms of Takraw in Thailand!! The excerpt says: "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. (If you groan at the thought better not try it). "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 each other to earn a high score. Hoops are suspended over the centre and the players must hit the ball through them. Successive teams try to surpass the previous score. Takraw Lot Huang (Hoop Takraw) competition usually takes places at Sanam Luang during the summer season (February to April)" The official site "International Amateur Muay Thai Federation" (IAMTF) at:
