New Sport Tuesday is a new idea I am trialling, where I will profile sports not necessarily well-known for Joe Blow in New Zealand, or often documented on The Dropkicks. If you have any sports you would like profiled, or know of any obscure sports, please email dropkicks@dropkicks.co.nz

To kick things off for week one, I have two doozies. One is safe for work [and for the squemish] while the second, not so much.

Firstly, Blind Baseball. As a child I was always interested in Blind Cricket after reading about it in one of those School Journals. [Are they still around?] Blind Baseball is much the same as Blind Cricket it seems.

Next, and this is where those of the weak stomach may want to turn around and go the other way, is Chaos Mad Max, a martial arts tournament. CMM operates under a bareknuckle philosophy, as it wishes to try and find disparities between different fighting styles which would not be evident with the use of gloves and pads. Basically, which fighting style fucks people up the most? The Japanese are crazy.
