the jump that earns respect -- Maasai Adumu Explained #MaasaiJumping #Tradition #ShortsAdded:
The Maasai warriors of East Africa have a tradition called Adumu, a competitive jumping ceremony that's been around for hundreds of years. The higher a warrior jumps, the more respect he earns in the community. But here's the part most people don't know. Your knees cannot bend when you land. The entire jump has to be done on straight legs, which makes it incredibly difficult. This isn't just a dance or a performance. For the Maasai people of Kenya and Tanzania, it's literally a test of strength and [music] warrior status, passed down through generations for centuries.
