Bo-Taoshi (Pole Pull-down) - Crazy Japanese Sport

submitted by Zifnab

1 decade 3 years 3 weeks ago

What are the rules for this?

Found on Reddit comments: The name of the game is Bo Taoshi (Pole Toppling). The idea is to pull the pole down, or at least to a certain degree. There are 150 men on each team. Seventy-five men defend their team's pole, while seventy-five try to pull the opponents pole down. When the gun goes off, the seventy-five man offensive attacks the free standing pole held up and defended by the seventy-five man defense.

Best sporting event EVER!

There seems to be a disturbing amount of clothes coming off considering it's an all male sport.

"What do you mean, Doc? All the best stuff is made in Japan."

Awesome.

This is one of those sports where the female version is probably far better than the male version.

It would be better with swords.

Awesome, I've now added this at the top of my sporting to-do list along with mud snorkeling and wife carry racing.
