Whip Fighting (Caci)
Whip fighting can be done as a ritual, a show, or a sport, the latter also known as whip boxing. David Hicks describes caci, a ritual tournament of whip fighting among the Manggarai people of Indonesia performed on various traditional and religious occasions.
Bull whip fighting also known as "Caci" is one of the most dangerous sports EVER! It gets introduced to young boys of this culture at a very early age. Each one must caci fight because in this culture, it's not just considered a sport. It's also a way of connecting to ancestors! For the most part, Caci is performed by Manggarai people distributed within the greater Manggarai cultural area of western parts of Flores island.
