I had a jianzi but my in-laws took it and destroyed it. When I go to Vietnam, I’m gonna pick up a few. I’m gonna check to see if I still have ONE left in my sports bag. Might be picking up a few other “exotic”(read: stuff you don’t see a lot of in the States) stuff. Hoping to get some spin tops and some Vietnamese made yoyos too.

The takraw wasn’t really what I’d categorize as a skill toy, but there’s no doubt it takes tremendous skill. The video I saw on YouTube was I think some championship match, that was pretty awesome what I saw.

I can’t see jianzi taking off here Stateside yet. It would need to get some coverage on something mainstream to kinda jump start it. After that, it would kinda trickle for a bit before people saw the potential. I can totally see it gathering momentum.

I agree jianzi would need quite the advertising, I know there was an attempt few years ago by Kikbo.  
When it comes to Takraw my friend say’s its like high school soccer or football in SE Asia. But it can be seen as a skill toy under it’s alternate style of play, Chinlone. Chinlone is alot like freestyle footbag; many see it as an art, a sport, or just leisure. But in contrast when it’s defined as takraw it’s a sport. On a different note I showed a few of my college buddies both Jianzi and Chinlone and they loved it ;D
