August 17, 201016 yr WOW! I took the liberty of posting it here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2H1zjRU8hBo
August 17, 201016 yr Why aren't those guys on India's Olympics team? I would think India would walk away with several gold medals.
August 17, 201016 yr Great video. Thank you! I think we should set up one of these poles in WeHo and get the guys over for a visit. I'd surly be in attendance.
August 17, 201016 yr Active Members That's pretty unique! Are they each trying to do the same stylized series of specific moves or did I imagine similarities?
August 17, 201016 yr Active Members Good catch, JKane. Mallakamb is a sport in India that apparently has roots in Yoga (judges in competions are supposed to be certified by their Swami). It does have set postures and moves much like gymnastics. What did we ever do before Google? Here's another video from a 2007 competition: To me it looks like some of the moves are borrowed from gymnastics rather than traditional Yoga. ---- Somebody ought to tell PurpleKow to come take a look at the OP's video. He would love the thighs on the second guy & the way he wraps them around that pole.
