As usual with most Japanese "sports".......pointless.

Do they still play British Bulldog in schools? (probably not allowed now due to Health and Safety). When played on grass that wasn't too different.....lots of ripped shirts/ties/trousers as I recall.
[Update] Having checked Wikipedia (the fount of all knowledge ;-) )- "The game is characterised by its physicality often being regarded as violent leading it to be banned from many schools, although this trend is now being reversed"
