Defending The Big Stick

I don't know what this exercise is called. My Japanese isn't as good as it used to be but I believe this is from a sports day at the National Defense Academy in Japan. The Academy educates and trains cadets who will be officers in three services of the Self-Defense Forces.

It's called Boutaoshi.The goal of this game is to drag your opponent off of the pole and have one of your own teammates climb and mount the pole.

Thanks for the explanation.

Pole Mounting...hmmmm. I didn't know this was an outdoor sport. Either way, these guys don't seem to have enough creative projects to do.
