Friday fun: Mallakhamb


Mallakhamb is and an Indian sport, basically pole gymnastics on a vertical, wooden pole. It looks super impressive and videos of Mallakhamb players, as the are called, have been circulated at offices for some Friday fun. For pole dancers, however, Mallakhamb is more than viral videos. There are a lot of moves that pole dancers have picked up from either Mallakhamb or Chinese Pole. In the video below, you can see what pole dancers would call cupidos, ayshas and crusifixes. But take a look at what the first player does at 0:40. A shoulder mount, but instead of climbing up the pole he pushes his legs through and back down. Or how about that back flip straight into brass monkey at 1:40?


Eat this, Anastasia Shukhtorova.
