Kabaddi is a traditional Indian contact sport that originated in ancient India. It is played between two teams of seven players each, where one player from the attacking team, known as the raider, enters the opponent\“s half to tag as many defenders as possible and return to their own half, all while chanting kabaddi without taking a breath.
The sport requires a combination of physical strength, agility, breath control, and strategic thinking. Kabaddi has gained international recognition and is now played in various countries around the world, with professional leagues like the Pro Kabaddi League in India attracting millions of viewers.
Traditional kabaddi equipment includes simple clothing and a playing field, making it accessible to people from all socioeconomic backgrounds. Modern kabaddi has evolved with standardized rules, professional training facilities, and international competitions organized by the International Kabaddi Federation. |
