British Shin Kicking Championship video from http://www.soglos.com. The British Shin Kicking Championships take place every year in Gloucestershire as part of the Cotswold Olimpick Games. Competitors stuff their trousers with straw to protect their shins - which receive a hard battering from opponents whose aim is to unstable their rival before throwing them to the ground. Thousands turn up to watch the competitive and brutal sport - while many a brave shin kicker can be seen limping away, covered in mud. The 2008 winner, Steve 'The Bulldog', can be seen at the end of the video being lifted by supporters, after a gruelling evening of knocking out several components.

The origins of "shinkicking" are lost in the mists-of-time, it would have been training for young warriors to get used to the pain of battle, likewise with "The Cheese rolling" running down the hill with no regard for your own safety, having the same frame of mind for running into battle, it's our culture and one of are many traditions, i wouldn't expect many of the negative posters to understand or comprehend it anyway, we don't care what you yanks think.
