Kabaddi — South Asia — Kabaddi — South Asia

Kabaddi is a contact team sport with strong South Asian roots and multiple formats. A raider enters the opposing half to score and return while defenders coordinate a legal stop, producing rapid shifts between individual risk and group structure.

Modern international competition uses codified rules, but community play may differ. New participants need qualified instruction, safe surfaces, conditioning, and respect for contact protocols—not an improvised backyard summary.
