I love Sepak Takraw. It is a super fascinating Sports, and a popular game since many years ago until this become a major part of Global Sports Events particularly in the Asian Region.

Sepak Takraw originally started as Sepak Raga. Raga is referring to the Rattan ball. Using legs and feet while wearing a suitable pair of shoes, a player kick up to sustain the ball in the air. We call this Tatang. As in Sepak Raga Bulatan, a Team of Players play together forming a circle, and points gain as to how many Tatang the Team can achieve. The game ends when the ball fall to the ground.

From Sepak Raga, traditional folks play, to a competitive sports Sepak Raga Bulatan, soon the introduction of Sepak Takraw. On a special court, net place horizontally across dividing the court into two, so two Teams comprising of 3 each fight for a winning game.

Some Children play this game since young, while just a kid. I played Sepak Takraw since High School. I played well as a Tekong. The Player out of 3 who mainly serve the ball over the net.

Now I no longer play this game, however an ardent audience whenever there is a Sepak Takraw match nearby or screen on Television or via the Internet.

I shall write more on this super sports soon...
