In some cultures men prove their manhood by enduring pain. Get a pass into an American Fight Club, where some successful, educated males engage in physical combat to test their manhood, using anything to attack - wooden knives, soda cans, sticks, even soap-on-a-rope. On the remote Indonesian island of Sumba, hundreds of men take part in a time-honored event known as the Pasola. Facing off in two teams on horseback, they charge toward each other hurling spears.

This is very cool.  Good job Gints.  I have it set to record.

saw it here as well, a few days ago. i like how you choose the weapons for the fighters and then see how they react

[Dog Pound]

The anthropologist they used seemed to "get it."  He understood the enlightenment (higher conscienceness through harder contact) that the fighters experience.
