A Beginner's Guide to Kabaddi: How to Play and Basic Rules
Kabaddi, a contact team sport, involves two teams competing to score points by tagging or wrestling members of the opposing team.
The game is played on a rectangular court, with each team taking turns to send a "raider" into the opponent's half, aiming to tag as many defenders as possible and return safely to their own half.
The defenders, on the other hand, must try to stop the raider by tackling them, while the raider must continuously chant "kabaddi, kabaddi" to prove they are not inhaling.
To win, a raider must tag as many defenders as possible and return to their own half without being tackled.
The defenders, on the other hand, aim to stop the raider and prevent them from returning to their half.
The game is fast-paced and requires a combination of strength, agility, and strategic thinking, making it an exciting and challenging sport to watch and play.
