Chinlone is a traditional sport in Myanmar. This is a combination of sport and dance, something like freestyle football, a team sport with no opposing team. In essence, chinlone is non-competitive. The focus is not on winning or losing but how beautifully one plays the game.
A team of six players pass the ball back and forth with their feet, knees and heads as they walk around a circle. One player goes into the center to solo, creating various moves and combos together. The soloist is supported by the other players who try to pass the ball back with one kick. When the ball drops to the ground it is dead, and the play starts again.
This game is usually played barefoot or using chinlone shoes that will let the players feel the ball and the ground. The players can make contact with the ball through the top of their toes, the inner and outer sides of the foot, the heel, the sole, and the knee.
