Looking Back
Matthew Noel
I am always looking for the next thing to inspire me. Today I had the opportunity to look back at something I experienced as a young man. While living in Singapore, my family took a vacation to Tioman island in Malaysia. There we witnessed a popular local sport that looked like a cross between soccer and volleyball. A wicker ball was kept in the air by the players feet and the players tried to score by kicking over the net. My brother and I promptly bought one and found out how hard it was.
Today I came across this documentary about a sport called Chinlone. The video features the artistic version of this sport. Prepare to be amazed!
