Jian zi

Jiàn zi (Chinese毽子), tī jiànzi (踢毽子) also known by other names, is a traditionalAsian game in which players aim to keep a heavily weighted shuttlecock in the air by using their bodies, apart from the hands, unlike in similar games peteca and indiaca. The game is played on a court similar to badminton and volleyball, or it can be played artistically, among a circle of players in a street or park, with the objective to keep the shuttle 'up' and show off skills. In Vietnam, it is known as đá cầu and is the national sport. In the Philippines, it is known as sipaand was also the national sport until it was replaced by Arnis in December of 2009.[1]
In recent years, the game has gained a formal following in Europe, the United States, and elsewhere.
In English, both the sport and the object with which it is played are referred to as "shuttlecock" or "featherball".
