That's Actually a Sport? A Review

To finish off my blog on weird and uncommon sports around the world, I’m gonna review a not-so uncommon sport that hits close to home (well at least for me, I don’t know the weird places you people lived before Penn State). This sport, the holy grail of summer camp games, is one of my Read More…

Do you love hockey? Do you also love to swim? Then why not both. Octopush is the sport no one knew they wanted, the sport of underwater hockey. Out of all the underwater sports out there in the unknown, this sport, Octopush (by the way great name), is by far the best in my opinion. Read More…

PARKOUR! This week, as you’ve already guessed, I will be talking about the pure awesomeness that is parkour.

So I came across something while I was researching what to do my next blog post on. It may just be the worst combination of sports I’ve ever seen, or by far the best, I really can’t tell. It is called chessboxing, and if you don’t live under a rock, you can probably guess what Read More…

There’s a new and upcoming sport out there, one that combines a multitude of sports crossed with the child-like fun of trampolines and bouncy houses as well as the complex movements of capoeira (which is an afro-Brazilian martial art that combines dance, acrobatics, music, and fighting) enlightened by music. This sport, in all its cluster-fuck Read More…

This semester, I am broadening my horizons to the unique world of sports, because naturally, Penn State’s list of weird sports is limited.
