The national game of Myanmar is Chinglone; the object of the game is to keep a cane ball in the air for as long as possible using only feet and knees with teams of six players. Burmese boxing is also a very popular sport; it can seem extremely brutal to the uninitiated spectators. Quite a few Western sports are also played.
