SINGAPORE — Arnis, vovinam, kenpo: Do these dark games add a local flavor to the SEA Games? Or on the other hand would they say they are futile interruptions that serve just as increases in the host countries in the decoration count table?

A discussion has hounded the biennial Games since the time it chose to incorporate non-Olympic games into its brandishing program since the 1970s. The principal non-Olympic game to be incorporated was bowling in 1975, as the game was generally played around the Southeast Asia locale.

Throughout the long term, more games were presented - and they turned out to be increasingly more peculiar to the area, or even the host country alone.

This has prompted allegations that these games are only placed into the Games program by the host countries so they can procure simple golds to cushion up their decoration count and ascend the table.

Here are a portion of the more dark or questionable games that have made the SEA Games sports program over its 31 releases:

Arnis (1995, 2005, 2019)
This is the public military specialty of the Philippines, so normally it has been incorporated into the SEA Games program at whatever point the nation has the Games in 1995, 2005 and 2019. This battle sport underlines weapon-based battling with sticks, blades and bladed weapons, as well as "open hand" or procedures without weapons.

Arnis contests utilizes froth cushioned sticks with flimsy rattan centers, and are intended to break before genuine injury happens.

Ocean side handball (2019, 2021)
The game is like the Olympic game of handball, yet is played on sand rather than in a games corridor. Since the ball loses the greater part of its bob on sand, there is practically zero spilling.

Likewise, inventive or astounding objectives, for example, 360 degree bounces and rear entryway uh oh, are granted with two focuses rather than one.

Chess (2003, 2005, 2011, 2013, 2019, 2021)
While this essential tabletop game is delighted in by millions around the world, the discussion remains whether it qualifies as a cutthroat game. Chess advocates contend that psychological effort during chess rivalries shows itself actually, as players will feel depleted and depleted. Naysayers, notwithstanding, counter by saying that chess doesn't make the player truly more grounded, and accordingly can't be viewed as a game.
