After kabaddi was included in the tags, i made a post on Kabaddi and its importance for Indian farmers
To my surprise i received a comment from 
Hence I decided that i will write more about the game how its played? where its played etc.
Introduction
Kabaddi is a popular team sport, which needs skill and muscle power. It has characteristics of wrestling and rugby. It is originated in India 4000 years ago. It is widely played across the Indian subcontinent. Originally it was intended to develop self-defense. It is a simple and inexpensive game and does need a massive playground nor expensive equipment.
How is it played
Kabaddi is a sport, where two teams of 7 players play opposite to each other. There are five substitute players on each side making the team size of 12.
In this game two teams are on opposite halves of a small field or court.
Kabaddi Players
They take turns sending raider into the half of opponent who are ready to grab the raider.
Players at the competitive level are usually well-built, strong and also at the same time need to be swift, agile and have high levels of stamina and endurance to be good at all aspects of the game. There is a lot of strategizing which forms part of the gameplay and the players need to be in prime mental and physical condition to successfully participate in a game of kabaddi, else serious injuries may often result.
Playing Rules
Raiders win the points. If the raider touches opponent player and returns his own half he will get the point. While returning opposite players will make try to capture the raider by tackling or blocking or pushing out of the court etc. If the defence succeeds in capturing the raider the point goes to defence team.
