Mallakhamb is an ancient Indian sport that combines yoga poses with the athleticism of gymnastics-all performed while perched atop a vertical wooden pole. Uday Deshpande teaches Mallakhamb in Mumbai’s Shivaji Park. Anyone who aspires to master this practice, needs to possess mental and physical strength, flexibility and a certain amount of fearlessness.
This Great Big Story was inspired by Genesis.

Apparently this is the origin of pole dancing/pole fitness! The thickness of the pole makes it look more challenging. I love pole and it's interesting to see where it came from.

@patrickmccartney7544 3 года назад

vamśanartin mentioned back in the vājasneyi saṃhitā 30.21 clearly discusses 'pole dancing'. there are multiple examples of pole dancing as part of public entertainment, especially from Buddhist literature. So too multiple names for the acrobats who performed these gravity defying feats. modern mallakhamb is less than 100 years old.

I am so amazed by the movements on the pole, the speed and the flexibility of the "pole wrestlers." Very impressive agility! They are not in Cirque du Soleil, but they sure can form Human Chandeliers. Wow!

Mallakhamb performers were part of Cirque du Soleil team when they performed their show Bazaar in Mumbai in 2018.

Balagopal Kurup Thank you for telling me. That’s awesome! Not everybody is double-jointed to be able to do what those performers can. Most young people are flexible to do those maneuvers. I am also fascinated with athletes who have themselves devoted to Kalaripayat.

Don't insult them by calling it pole dancing. No offense but they ain't doing it in a night club. It's a sport more aligning with gymnastics !

@kikilala9371 4 года назад

Pole dancing is a recognized international sport described as a performance sport combining dance and acrobatics on a vertical pole by the Global Association of International Sport Federarion. Pole dancing is not an insult and it's not only done in a nightclub. Stop with the negative stereotypes www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/news/early-lead/wp/2017/10/18/pole-dancing-in-the-olympics-international-sports-federation-recognition-helps-pave-the-way/%3foutputType=amp

@UNisOUTDATED 3 года назад

@@kikilala9371 Stereotype ??? For someone who doesn't understand Mallakhamb - it is a centuries old SPORT ! I NOT a DANCE ! If you ask around you'll get answers of what pole dancing corresponds to. I have nothing against the dancers who merely earn a living (mostly out of the situation/ desperation) so don't get me wrong here. Just as ballet dancers wouldn't want to be identified as pole dancers, anyone associated with gymnastics / mallakhamb wouldn't want to either.

@SammiLeighM 3 года назад

@@UNisOUTDATED try actually googling pole dance. It is becoming a very popular sport, and it is not in the least an act of desperation. It's actually honestly a very expensive sport to learn, and while it is some people's job, I am willing to bet that 99% of the time, they do that job because they like the sport, not because they need to do it. It's not all about objectification like you apparently suppose it to be. It is a sport, a practice, it requires just as much talent as what is in this video, and honestly the main difference between this and what is known as pole dance in Western culture is simply the structure of the pole (this pole is wider and tapered). So yeah, this is pole dance, just as much as ballet looks different in different cultures, pole dance can as well.

@tatianaangelica46 3 года назад

Hi pole dancer here ! I’m not a stripper and none of my friends at my pole studio are a stripper as far as I know. Not that there’s anything wrong with being a stripper. Also , there are many tricks they do that are very similar to tricks we do. For example, when he did “Bani Guruji Pakar” that is pretty much the same as what we call “Cupid”. You can google pole Cupid if you’d like. Just like them our sport is very similar to gymnastics. That’s why if you’re a gymnast for a few years then come and try pole you already have a huge advantage. Don’t know if your views on pole had changed over the year but just thought I’d clear a few things up.
