Kabaddi is a traditional Indian sport that originated in ancient India and is now played internationally. It is a contact team sport that requires both physical strength and strategic thinking.
The game is played between two teams of seven players each. The objective is for a single player, called the raider, to run into the opposing team\“s half of the court, tag as many defenders as possible, and return to their own half without being tackled.
Kabaddi is particularly popular in rural India and has gained international recognition through events like the Kabaddi World Cup and Pro Kabaddi League. The sport emphasizes breath control, as raiders must chant kabaddi repeatedly while attacking.
Traditional kabaddi equipment is minimal, requiring only a playing field and comfortable clothing. The sport promotes physical fitness, teamwork, and quick decision-making skills among participants. |
