10 Most Unique Sports You Won't Believe Exist

10. Sepak Takraw

Who loves a Pele kick? Trick question, everyone loves a Pele kick. Whether it be from a pro wrestler like Finn Balor or AJ Styles or indeed from a footballer like...I can't think of one football player who's ever done a Pele kick. Well, what if there was a game that was about 75% Pele kicks? Turns out there is.

Sepak Takraw originates from Malaysia sometime in the 15th century, although several countries do actually claim to be the originator. The game is played on a court similar to a badminton court and is fairly similar to badminton with a few key differences, namely that there are three players on each team, the shuttlecock is a ball that looks like a compacted wicker chair, you can't use your arms and the rackets don't exist. Aside from that it's virtually identical.

Sepak Takraw is massive in South East Asia and watching it you do get a kind of gentle vibe from the game that the opponents are not there to be defeated, but to assist in what can look more like a well choreographed dance, with a net.
