The new and unusual sport of Biraq was created in 1996 by Leo from Itapetininga in São Paulo, Brazil. It is a racket sport, played on a court 14m x 4.5m. The unusual thing about this sport is that each player uses a racket in each hand (bi-lateral). There are 4 types of rackets, each pair with different weights, determining the category of each player: 0.9kg, 1.2kg, 1.6kg, 1.8kg . The court can be clay, wood, concrete, asphalt, provided it is flat and offers good pike for a tennis ball.
