Naga Spear Dance

Nagaland Sparring Match


Culture | Action

It's time for some action footage. In this clip some Nagaland boys demonstrate their traditional spear kicking contest by using a sandal instead of an actual spear. As far as I can tell, the idea here is to see who can kick the spear the highest. The higher it goes, the more popular he will be with the Nagaland ladies.

Was not quite sure what to call the activity - "Traditional Folk Kicking Performance" Now that is a better title.

Thanks Shitio
