They are in a Buddhist league of baseball teams. It is their method of aggression avoidance. This is the stork on one leg meditation.

Not to ruin the joke but what they are doing is what I believe is called "Chicken" fighting. Kind of a common game. The point is to get the other person to fall by pushing them over. This game can get pretty fucking serious.

Not to ruin the joke but in one of the other times this was posted, someone explained that this is from Japanese sketch comedy (like Saturday Night Live) show.

Edit: I was mostly wrong.

It is from a (South, obviously) Korean baseball game played by tv personalities, actors, comedians, etc.

You are doing well, Grasshopper.

Soon, you will be allowed to carry the glowing meditation brazier from the anteroom to the outer courtyard.
