Any Betawi sports?

From Neraca

In the context of the anniversary of Jakarta, June 22, 1994, the committee must have planned a number of programs to mark the event. But I have never witnessed a sport typical to the Betawi (the indigenous Jakarta inhabitants) community played during the event.

I wonder if there is a traditional Betawi sport. Many of my foreign friends asked about this matter, but I could not tell them any except for the art of self-defense.
