Chinlone: Myanmar's Traditional Cane-Ball Sport

Chinlone is a traditional Myanmar sport played with a handwoven rattan ball. Players usually form a circle and keep the ball in the air using their feet, knees, and other permitted parts of the body.

The game combines athletic skill, teamwork, and graceful movement. In its cooperative form, the focus is not on defeating an opponent but on controlling the ball creatively and keeping the group's rhythm flowing.
