Traditions

One ancient art is a very popular tradition in Malaysia. This tradition is called, "Wau" (pronounced wow) and it's a kite.

Another important tradition in the Malaysian culture is Pencak Silat, or "fighting by using self defense techiniques." The goal to this is creating personality and building character. Also to train your mental, physical, and even spiritual strength. 

There's a Malaysian sport called "Sepak Takraw", which translates into "Kick Volleyball". This sport has been popular in Malaysia since the 1400's. The rules to the game are basic; you can only touch and hit the ball with your head, or feet, and the ball is made out of palms (very similar to bamboo).
