Yep. Invented in the Cotswolds of England, circa 1600, shin-kicking is an annual event at the Cotswold Games.
Here's how it works: Kick your opponent as hard as you can in the shins. If your opponent falls to the ground in pain, you earn a point. The winner takes the highest score in the best of three rounds.

Inhumane? Not entirely. Competitors are permitted to stuff their pants with hay.

Think that's bad? Try ferret stuffing.

This illegal "sport" can be traced to Yorkshire, England, where allegedly sane men stuff ferrets in their pants to see who can suffer the longest. Who holds the record? In 1981, Reg Mellor kept two of 'em down for five hours and 26 minutes.
