Sports from Indonesia that have gained worldwide recognition are a source of pride for the Indonesian people. There are several sports from Indonesia that are already known abroad. In fact, there are some neighboring countries that claim that these sports originated from their countries. Perhaps because these sports are so cool, my friends, that they want to claim them as their own.

Here are some sports originating from Indonesia that have gained worldwide recognition. The author believes that you also know these sports, right?

Karapan Sapi

For those of you from Madura or the surrounding areas, you are surely familiar with this traditional sport. Karapan sapi is a highly prestigious sport in Madura. Even the cows used for karapan sapi are special cows. Their price can reach hundreds of millions. The quality of the cows is also different, they are more muscular. Their food and drinks are also carefully selected, my friends. Even better than regular people's food.

Karapan sapi competitions are held during the harvest season or certain festivals. The jockeys of karapan sapi are also serious; they must train to be able to jockey two cows and win the competition.

Karapan sapi often becomes a reason for foreign tourists to visit Madura for a longer time. They want to experience the excitement of the karapan sapi matches.

Lompat Batu (Fahombo)

Another well-known sport besides karapan sapi is the stone jumping from Nias, commonly referred to as Fahombo. This Fahombo activity or ritual often attracts local and international tourists.

The origin of Fahombo is used for the ritual recognition of a man as an adult and worthy of joining the war troops or not. You can imagine, you have to jump over a stone more than 2 meters high and also prepare for the landing. This is not an easy task. A wrong landing can cause injuries and broken bones.

Enggrang

Enggrang or egrang is a unique sport because it uses two poles, each with a platform for walking. It requires balance to play this sport.

The exact origin of enggrang is not definitively known. Many say it comes from Java. However, this game is also found in Sumatra and other parts of Indonesia.

The sport of enggrang is also known worldwide. In fact, there is an episode in an American cartoon that features this enggrang sport. This means that this sport is already quite common in other parts of the world.

Tarik Tambang

The tug of war competition is often seen during the independence day celebrations. It turns out that this sport has also gained worldwide recognition, my friends. You can see many people in other parts of the world also participating in this tug of war sport.

Tug of war is usually played by two teams consisting of 3-5 people each. The winning team is the one that can pull the opposing team to a predetermined limit set by the competition committee.

Sepak Takraw

Sepak takraw is a sport that originates from South Sulawesi. The way to play is quite similar to volleyball but using feet and a takraw ball. Have you ever tried playing sepak takraw? It's quite difficult, right?

Sepak takraw is already known by many countries around the world. So impressive is this sport that many neighboring countries claim that sepak takraw is from their country. It's understandable, even batik from Java has been claimed by Malaysia.

These are some popular sports from Indonesia that have gained worldwide recognition. In fact, there are still many other Indonesian sports that are known worldwide.
