[00:00:00]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.
