Kabaddi is a traditional Indian sport that requires a unique combination of physical strength, agility, and strategic thinking. The game involves 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 while chanting kabaddi without taking a breath.
Key skills in kabaddi include raiding techniques such as toe touches, hand touches, and running hand touches. Defensive skills involve forming strong chains and blocks to stop the raider. Footwork, speed, and breath control are essential for success in this indigenous Indian sport that has gained international recognition.
The sport showcases India\“s rich cultural heritage and has evolved from rural playgrounds to professional leagues like the Pro Kabaddi League. Players must master various indigenous techniques passed down through generations while adapting to modern training methods. |
