How to Play Kabaddi

[@mediumsurmoon6283]

My Indian friend taught us about this Kabaddi sport that non of us are even aware existed , in a month time we had two class competing against each other (for fun obviously) . It was a fun feeling , despite the fact that we made the rules up because smartphone isn’t as accessible back in the day and the internet wasn’t a daily basis thing like it is now, the version that we played was soo different than the original 😂 it was kinda flipped the other way

[@somebodyssoul913]

Jmmmm looks a game to touch many men... its weird... super weird.

[@alphacompany4837]

​@@somebodyssoul913 lol what about American football, wrestling and many other combat sports ?

[@miguel061]

​@@somebodyssoul913 yes, even one where men must run a ball to an opposing side and have to touch them with their whole body to not score or one where men must pin each other sometimes less clothed. Surely, those stranger games are oddly more popular than this one.

Nice to meet you. I'm a Japanese Kabaddi KZbinr. Since kabaddi is a minor sport in Japan, I want to popularize it. However, there are not many kabaddi videos in Japan. Can you please let me use a part of this video? I've finished making 8 videos now, and I'd like Japanese viewers to see the actual matches, because it's very difficult to explain Kabaddi matches with slow commentaries of popular Japanese anime. Of course, I will include your channel name in the channel details. My first video will be posted on December 11th, Japan time. If you are willing to let us use your KZbin video, we can release the video in January of next year. Thank you very much. Please let me know.

Learned kabbadi with a bunch of youngsters during my trip to Iran. That game is insanely underrated

[@akshaykaushik8728]

Just throwing the raider off balance doesn't count as out. He can still crawl back to the other side of midline while he is down given that he is still chanting kabaddi.

[@FiremanSwerve]

So why do they hold hands tho?

[@randomstuff508]

​@@FiremanSwerveTo keep gaps from forming. It's to stay close to each other so they can more effectively tackle someone.

[@tough_treecko]

​@@FiremanSwerve it's not a rule to hold hands, but it's a common technique.. it's a chain , when a defender goes for tackle, other defenders come to support... The chain is natural blockage for a raider to pass through.. thought there are Technics like "Dubki" and highjump that can penetrate chain but it depends on how skilled the players are... Also in india for a guy holding hand of another guy ,not seen as gay lgbt thing in common.. putting hands on the shoulder of another guy is more of a sign of deep friendship.... So naturally no one feels uncomfortable holding hands of other guy....

It's really simple. The 'attacker' needs to tag any defender and make it back to his side, in about 30 seconds

[@freddymars2014]

Yes it's confusing, espicially the "chanting" part... then I read you had to chant AND hold your breath which really confused the F out of me... so you have to chant while holding your breath and playing some version of tag? I'm totally lost on this.

[@selvavignesh2339]

Kabaddi was created by Tamil people (Tamilans). Kabaddi originally comes from 2 Tamil words (kai) and (pidi). Kai is Hand in Tamil. Pidi is to hold in Tamil. The raider has to chant kaipidi and not let go of his breath...till he touches the opponent or comes back to his team's area. Kaipidi then slowly changed to Kabaddi as when Tamilans were chanting it, the word sounded different and then the name of the game was changed to Kabaddi as many players kabaddi players got used to to saying kabaddi instead of kai pidi instead...

[@drago939393]

There is no actual need to chant Kabaddi, the time for each raid is 30s. Just get a stopwatch/timer. Chanting is tradition yes, but it's not required and difficult to enforce. Also, All Out is always +2 only.

[@Eaglesfan4life352]

Do they have to hold hands or is that strategy? Because it seems it could behoove the defenders to not hold hands.. like one of them goes behind the raider right before he tries to touch another defender

[@drago939393]

@@Eaglesfan4life352 The rules and "meta" for defending and raiding definitely remain a bit mysterious, so I am not 100% sure myself. It might be another traditional thing to have the hands clasped like that.

@@Eaglesfan4life352 that's chain formation... Standing solo doesn't work , chain formation helps to move Faster and maintains momentum.. btw yes you can break the chain to tackle raider though....

[@TerryBollea1]

But why do they hold hands??? And why doesn't the defense just immediately tackle the raider as soon as they cross the line.?????

[@guyinc0gnito]

Holding hands lets you feel what your teammate is doing and where they are, and helps you react at the same time

[@relaxative2006]

If it's not against the rules, it might be easier to escape when they try to tackle you, since the raider stays near the line at first

[@laba3423]

because when player is near mid line there is chance of escape cause he just needs to touch the line , so aim is to make him come closer away from mid line

but why the raider, when he is deep in the enemy field, gets tackelt directly from the defender team so no matter if he touches the bonus line ore a player from the defender team, cant reach over the middle line?

[@inertiaoffun6559]

You get bonus if one of your foot is in Air and the other foot is grounded beyond the bonus line at the same time....... so even if you get tackled by the defenders you will get bonus . So, to protect the raider from getting bonus point, the defenders tackle the raider ,when raider comes deep inside ..

[@lonelydriveritsuki8041]

This game looks very fun, but there's something i don't get. So in just one breath (chanting kabaddi) the raider must touch the defenders right ? So is there a rest time(to breath) or he can reset his breath once he went past the mainline ?

[@riav7467]

Not really, the B team has to send in a raider within 5 seconds of team A finishing the raid. Otherwise team B will lose a point. So get back in game mode ASAP after escaping a tackle by a bunch of people. It's a contact sport and really intensive, not as mellow as the sweet animation shown here.

[@captainaryan26]

Its really a difficult task but you can sip some breath. There's no extra time given. while chanting only, breath quickly. Hence a lotta practice is required and only the fit and bulky ones can play it

[@manchild3437]

You can drop this rule entirely and just use a 30 second timer instead. For instance, the raider has to complete a raid within 30 seconds or he is out and it is a no score raid. The kabaddi chanting as I understand it was an ancient way to time rounds before stopwatches and such. The attacking team could just count outload to 30 while their one player is raiding instead of the chanting too.

[@surendersingh8175]

Bro, there is no need to take one long breathe, only need is chanting the 'kabbadi'.

[@ayusmashu]

There isnt important to do that in one breath One one will be checking on you if you are breathing or not You just need to chant kabbadi kabbadi regularly without stopping till you are in opponent's half

[@pannitamaneesri834]

okay im not the only learning this game because of anime lol

[@PapiBauby]

i disagree with the super tackle rule, i disagree with saying/yelling Kabaddi as the attacker. I disagree with the bonus line rule if only 6-7 are there, this rule should apply at all times or not at all. The rest are more or less ok rules, i think its a good game, and the rules can be easily altered, or changed to adapt to specific kind of game/plays.
