The Asians are not to be fucked with

Bo-Taoshi (Pole pull-down) is played by cadets at Japan’s National Defense Academy. The game itself, which consists of 150 people and a pole, is quite simple. 75 men have to defend their team’s pole while the other 75 try to take it down by any means necessary. This much is clear. The rest of our information comes from Google translations of Japanese pages so don’t blame us if we don’t have it down.

The game seems to have been first played in 1954-55. The pole doesn’t have to hit the ground completely. It only had to go down 45 degrees until 1973 when the rules were changed to force teams to drop it to a 30 degree angle.


Look, I'm all for contact sports, so much so that I look down on sports that lack the testing  forces of physical contact. Sorry soccer, to me you're bitch made. Even with bold statements like that, Ihave to admit that Having 75 men  knees bounding, fists cocked, run at me full speed. Brings out the bitch in me.
