What is Jokgu?


Jokgu is one of the most popular "Sport for all" in Korea. This can be interpreted as a "Foot volleyball". It is very similar to "Soccer Tennis", "Sepak Takraw", and "Foot net" etc.., However, it is a bit different in rules. Let's see them.

Rules.

1. It has a net (Like Tennis).
2. Field size: 7.5M length per each net. 6.5M in width.
3. 4 people in one team.
4. 3 bounces and 3 touchs (General), 2 bounces and 3 touchs (Semi-Professional).
5. Permissible touch parts: Foot including hind shank (Below one's knee) + head (Above one's face) only.

Team Organization

1. An Attacker (Attack the ball)
2. A setter
3. Right defender
4. Left defender

But in defense mode, All 4 members need to defend the opponent's attack.

This is a quite interesting sport. I have been doing this for over 5 years now. However, Non of the people overseas are even aware of the existence of this sport so, I decide to be a person who introduces Jockgu to the world.

Please understand my English is not perfect. Maybe, you would have difficulties to understand what I meant...
