History of Kabaddi
The Game of Kabaddi is over 4000 yrs old and was probably devised as a way to develop the physical strength, speed and skill of young men; prized assets for fighting and soldiering. The game combines both self defence from, attacking, and counter attacking between groups and singles and although originally intended for training men it is also now played by women.
The rules of Kabaddi
The rules of Kabaddi are relatively simple although the various versions have different rules regarding players, e.g. in the 'Surjeevani' form one player is revived against one player of the opposite team who is out. Therefore a time limit is needed. In the 'Gaminee' form this revival does not exist, so the game ends when no players are left. However, in all forms if a player goes outside the court, except in a struggle, they are considered out. The simplicity of these rules, lack of equipment and small court size has enabled Kabaddi to become popular across the world.
