Part 5/9:

On the field, the host participates in various matches, battling against both adult seasoned players and surprisingly energetic children. The gameplay involves strategic movement, teamwork, and quick reflexes. Despite some initial apprehensions—feeling somewhat like a bully among younger players—the host soon appreciates the camaraderie and sportiness embedded in the community.

Especially notable is the participation of mothers and family groups, breaking stereotypes of foam blasting as merely a boys’ game. These women share their love for the sport, modifying their blasters, and even aspiring to form all-female teams to challenge male-dominated groups. Their stories reveal that foam blasting is also a tool for bonding and social interaction, as well as a chance to stay active and engaged.
