Kumo Gassen, Spider Fighting in Kajiki Japan.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 сен 2024
- The Kumo Gassen is a spider fighting tournament held every year in Kajiki just north of Kagoshima in Japan. Held on the 3rd Sunday of May every year for over 400 years, this traditional event is something to see. Female argiopes are trained, sometimes for months, before the tournament in hopes of becoming the next champion. Trainers from 5 to over 75 bring a minimum of 3 spiders to battle it out in order to name the next queen.

Spider catching, Spider fighting, Spider beauty competetion, 400 hundred fucking years...
And here i thought Pokemon was original...
Hahaha! Yes indeed, Gotta catch 'em all.
Pokémon was inspired by bug catching
Please don't ever remove this video.
That kind of spider is a reject here in the philippines. That spiders are weak and are easy to find.
What we use here in spider fighting are a smaller species of orb weaver. Thise spiders are srtictly nocturnal and has great skill of camouflage so it its very hard to find. But even with their size, they can take down a bigger opponents like that spiders used in this video. They are very aggresive in fighting and what is the best with them is they are non-venomous because thier main weapon is their strong silk
These spiders dont kill each other but in Philippines,they EAT each other!!
They can still eat a spider THAT big!!
agree hahahah takot akong taguin yan at alagaan
Yea in the Philippines the kids prefer the more smaller nibble spiders. The samurai spider depicted here, which is also very common in the Philippines is seldom used in spider fights
Well for spider fightings. The strongest specie is "Neoscona" spiders is Philippines. That spider are weak. Neoscona is a fast killer...
Oo.... Nga xd
Nope bro pumalag yan bro
@@juandelubyo8341 yes pre match sila pag na condition ang ekis
napalag nga. Pero pag nadali ng neoscona sp. Mad-damag abdomen, manghihina ang argiope
My sister would block my number if i shared this vidoe to her😂😂😂
Thank you for this video. I have one question though..
Is it still on being held on 'the third Sunday of May'? Because I read 2 articles online saying it was being held mid June. 🤔
Great. I'm a Spider Vlogger from Philippines. Shoutout all from Makati CIty
I have been waiting for this video, since you mentioned you were going! I love this so awesome, makes me want to start holding spider fighting out in alley here lol. Seriously though I would love to go see this. Another great video!!
I didn't know this was a "thing" in Japan! :D That is awesome! When I was a little kid I would catch random spiders and pit them against each other! ^^
Thank you sir for making a vid like this i always Find spider in other places and i have a spider named” justice and my spider is orange anyways thanks for making the vid!
Fantastic video mate. I love quirky unique stuff like this myself!
My wife would be a drooling mess if she wandered into the venue by mistake. She is one of the few people I know of that is truly arachnophobic...
This is a Argiope brunecchi specie's ?
Pokemon, gotta catch them all!!!
Great footage, cool event!
Awesome vid!
YIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEK, spiders give me the creeps
Here in philippines we also have spider fighting but the smaller species of orb weavers..
slimesmile smileslime small but terrible and agressive arachnids
I had to dig deep on google to find this video
These guys are everywhere here in Chiba during Summer... I hate Summer...
+TokyoAkiHara@Deep It still blows me away at how gentle they are.
Spiders are pretty amazing. I wonder how many accidental spider fatalities occur at such an event, or even how many spiders escape and run off into the wild before the festival goers are done with them.
Those are rather pretty spiders, kind of like bumble bees. Apparently a bumble bee can travel 4 million miles on a gallon of nectar, that's pretty swell.
these spiders are rejected in the phil.
These ones are often ignored in the Philippines as we were taught they could kill you/cause fever. We go gather the smaller ones but black and yellow are no go 😂
They had the biggest orb weaver which can fight better than that kind of spider
400 years tradition btw
What is the prize for winning the contests?
In Philippines our spiders at spider fights are small yet strong
deym these guys are baddass
Gagambang ekis pinipitik dto yan sa pinas hahaha
If i was in kumo gassen, i'd feed my spider a spider load, it makes the spider more aggresive but only for fighting.
Explain? A spider load? Like spider steroids?
Damn straight. I wonder if anyone has ever suffered from a cumulative attack of the heebee jeebees? Now that would make for a funny video... XD
i know they say "oh its more afraid of you than you are of it" or "it rarely bites humans" or "their bite isnt venomous to people" but i swear all 3 would happen to me if i even attempted to hold one...not that i would, im madly afraid of them. i respect spiders, i like what they do, and i usually capture and release when i see them (though they arent this big) but i dont know how i would handle being in close proximity to one of these...id pass out.
4:20
"Kawaii!" xD!
Yeah, but now I'm jealous!
Hey the kids like them
I've experienced an arachnophobia attack, haha! interesting video, tho :)
HAHAHA Thanks I think :) Hey Someone you definitely need to check out if you havent already is Keisandeath. You guys could do some cool collabs!
those type of spiders are weaklings the orb weaver will murder this in instant lol in the philippines people trainers dont even dare to use this spider they will never stand a chance..
harveyfenellere i agree sir.
Spider fighting originated in japan🤣
I'M SO SCARED OF SPIDERS WHY AM I WATCHING THIS
Because deep down... you wish you were there :) Take the trip, have a good time, and kill your fear of spiders at the same time? haha, thanks for watching.
To reduce ur arachnophobia?
Courage test :)
@@NandemoGuy the fear, for me at least, is their size and their speed....iono, a fast spider freaks me out so much and a big one too....which i guess is basically a huntsman..which japan has too (thanks australia).
my spiders dont fight i dont have the orb weavers in my place ":(
pretty cool that they release them every year, after the spider Thunderdome of course. wish they loved dolphins as much as spiders though... :\
怖すぎる！
So the spiders don't necessarily kill eachother? I'm cool with that : )
right in fact they usually dont. the most common is cutting the line of the other. I only personally saw 1 bite (the one in the video)
Happy days!*****
They canibalsm
Yeah, ideally they should never kill each other, hence why the referee separates them instantly after either is bitten. Good sportsmanship.
How did it feel when the spider was on your face?
it's okay as long as it is not some kind of tarantula spiders
What’s is up with Japan and their fascination with insects
Spiderman.
Samurai spider EKIS,
Okay OMG AAAAAAAHHH!!
Translation: That looks awesome! :), Thanks for watching.
That spiders is rejected here in the Phil.....that spiders are weak...if u fight using that spiders people will laugh at u..lol
Interesting fact. What sort of spiders are used there?
Our spider in ph are strong and small
Orb weaver
Johncarlo Layosa yes. I agree... "NEOSCONA" GENUS ARE COOL THAN THAT SHIT
