Botaoshi

By chappy81

We always try to bring you cool Asian stuff as we run across it. This game is called Botaoshi, and is a new one to me. I guess the goal for the team with the pole is to keep it upright, and the other team is trying to get the pole to the ground. I always find it refreshing to see a sport without a ball. It’s a little less structured than the fight league, but a very entertaining minute of play nonetheless. I’m not sure why it helps the team protecting protecting the pole to have the guy on top, but there must be something to it since all the other youtube clips I watched employed the same strategy. I can understand why there’s a minute time limit on this game, seems like if it went much longer everyone would be too injured to go on.

I'm a dude that just hit 30 years old. Pretty much like everything that is funny, insightful, and has to do with the Warriors, A's, and Raiders. View all posts by chappy81

  Well that’s me out as on first look I thought it might’ve been rugby ! No worries it’s a sport that someone enjoys and that’s it .

  You’ve got to be happy that West signed on as a consultant with the Warriors ? Hopefully my piece on the team and West does the topic justice ? Let me know what you think ?

  I can’t think of a better way to spend 3 minutes than to watch this video again.

  Dude, that is awesome. Reminds me of playing King of the Mountain as a kid. Although I must admit, that white team’s defense is as porous as what we’re seeing in the Western Conference Finals.
