Kabaddi is believed to have originated in ancient India, with references to the game found in ancient texts and scriptures. It’s thought to have been played as far back as 4,000 years ago, with variations of the game being played in different regions across the country.
The origins of kabaddi can be traced back to the ancient Indian texts, including the Mahabharata, where it is mentioned as a game of strength and strategy. Some historians also believe that it was played as a way for warriors to practice their skills of hand-to-hand combat.
Kabaddi was traditionally a rural sport, played by villagers as a form of entertainment and physical exercise. It’s a game that requires both physical strength and mental agility, with two teams taking turns to send a raider into the opposing team’s half to tag opponents and return to their side, all while holding their breath and chanting “kabaddi, kabaddi” to show they are not inhaling air.
The sport began to gain more structure in the early 20th century, especially after the formation of the All India Kabaddi Federation in 1950. By then, kabaddi had become a national sport in India, and the first National Kabaddi Championship was held in the 1950s. The sport continued to grow in popularity, especially with its inclusion in regional and national competitions.
Kabaddi gained international recognition when it was introduced as a competitive sport in the Asian Games in 1990. Since then, the sport has seen significant growth, with various international tournaments being held regularly.
The modern-day kabaddi scene in India took a huge leap forward with the launch of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) in 2014. The league, inspired by the Indian Premier League (IPL) for cricket, turned kabaddi into a professional sport with massive viewership. With teams representing various cities, the PKL has played a significant role in bringing kabaddi into the mainstream, and it has helped the sport reach new audiences both in India and abroad.
Today, kabaddi is not only a part of India’s sporting heritage but also a rapidly growing sport, with millions of fans watching domestic leagues and international competitions.
Playing kabaddi requires a combination of physical strength, endurance, agility, and mental strategy. While the sport doesn’t need a lot of complex equipment, there are some basic requirements and skills to help you play the game effectively:
