History and development

 The game, known as Hu-Tu-Tu in Western India, Ha-Do-Do in Eastern India and
Bangladesh, Chedugudu or Sadugudu in Tamil Nadu, Southern India and Kaunbada in
Northern India, Kavaddi in Sistan and Zu in Center of Iran has changed through the ages.
Modem Kabaddi is a synthesis of the game played in various forms under different
names.[4]

There are claims by some that Kabaddi is game version of the Chakravyuha an ancient
war strategy and defensive formation. Abhimanyu, son of Arjuna enters breaks into the
Chakravyuha and is the enemy, the Kauravas

Kabaddi received international exposure during the 1936 Berlin Olympics,

demonstrated by Hanuman Vyayam Prasarak Mandal, Amaravati, Maharashtra. The
game was introduced in the Indian Olympic Games at Calcutta in 1938. In 1950 the All
India Kabaddi Federation came into existence and compiled standard rules. The Amateur
Kabaddi Federation of India (AKFI) was founded in 1973. After formation of the
Amateur Kabaddi Federation of India, the first men's nationals were held in Madras (re-
named Chennai), while the women's were in Calcutta in 1955.The AKFI has given new
shape to the rules and has the right to modify them. The Asian Kabaddi Federation was
founded under the chairmanship of Mr. Janardan Singh Gehlot.

The first men's kabaddi nationals championship on Mat and indoor Stadium were
held in Pune and this championship Organiz by BADAMI HAUD SANGH Pune.

Asian Amateur Kabaddi Federation is now headed By Mr. Janardan Singh Gehlot
as President and Mr. Muhammad Sarwar as Secretary General and Mr. Mohammad Reza
Maghsodlou as Vice President.

Kabaddi was introduced and popularized in Japan in 1979. The Asian Amateur
Kabaddi Federation sent Prof. Sundar Ram of India to tour Japan for two months to
introduce the game.

In 1979, a return test between Bangladesh and India was held at different places of
India including Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Punjab. The Asian Kabaddi Championship was
arranged in 1980 and India emerged as champion and Bangladesh runner-up. Bangladesh
became runner-up again in 1985 in the Asian Kabaddi Championship held in Jaipur,
India. The other teams in the tournament were Nepal, Malaysia and Japan. The game was
included for the first time in the Asian Games in Beijing in 1990. India, China, Japan,
Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Bangladesh took part. India won the gold medal and
has also won gold at the following six Asian Games in Hiroshima in 1994, Bangkok in
1998, Busan in 2002, Doha in 2006 and Guangzhou in 2010.

Attempts to popularize kabaddi in Great Britain saw British TV network Channel

4 commission a programme dedicated to the sport. The show, Kabaddi, on Channel 4 in
the early 1990s, failed to capture viewers despite fixtures such as West Bengal Police
versus the Punjab. Kabaddi was axed in 1992, but not before its presenter Krishnan Guru-
Murthy suffered a collapsed lung while participating in the sport.[7]
 In the 1998 Asian games the Indian Kabaddi team defeated Pakistan in a thrilling
final match at Bangkok (Thailand). The chief coach of the team was former kabaddi
player and coach Flt. Lt. S P Singh.

Iran has turned out to be one of the emerging nations in all three forms of Kabaddi.
They stand to be one of the few nations having transperancy in selection of team along
with world class infrastructure for development of this sport. Currently they are trained
and coached by Ashan Kumar, former Indian National Team coach and Arjuna Awardee.
It is estimated that the annual budget given by the Iranian Government for development
of this sport is arround 400,000 USD which is the highest among all nations. Prominent
Non Resident Indian in Iran and leading businessmen in the gulf, P.S.Chandhok is one of
the main intiator for development and has extended a great helping hand for development
of various sports in Iran. Currently, the construction of a dedicated World Class Kabaddi
Stadium is in progress at Tehran.

During the 16th Asian Games at Guangzhou Iranian Men's bagged Silver Medal
and Women's bagged Bronze Medal. Amazing performance was showcased by Iranian's
during the semi-final match in women's category against India.

India has remained world champion since it was included in Asian Games and South
Asian Federation games. Kabaddi is now a very popular game and is a regular sport in
Asian Games, Asian Indoor Games and Asian Beach Games apart from SAF Games.

Gameplay
 Kabaddi at the Asian Games 2006

In the international team version of kabaddi, two teams of seven members each
occupy opposite halves of a field of 13m × 10m in case of men and 12m X 10m in case of
women.[3] Each has three supplementary players held in reserve. The game is played with
20 minute halves and a five minute halftime break during which the teams exchange
sides.

Teams take turns sending a "raider" to the opposite team's half, where the goal is
to tag or wrestle ("confine") members of the opposite team before returning to the home
half. Tagged members are "out" and temporarily sent off the field.
 Meanwhile, defenders must form a chain, for example, by linking hands; if the
chain is broken, a member of the defending team is sent off. The goal of the defenders is
to stop the raider from returning to the home side before taking a breath.

The raider is sent off the field if:

 the raider takes a breath before returning or

 the raider crosses boundary line or
 A part of the raider's body touches the ground outside the boundary (except during
a struggle with an opposing team member).

Each time a player is out the opposing team earns a point. A team scores a bonus of
two points, called a lona, if the entire opposing team is declared out. At the end of the
game, the team with the most points wins.

Matches are categorized based on age and weight. Six officials supervise a match: one
referee, two umpires, a scorer and two assistant scorers.

Forms of Kabaddi

Amar

In the 'Amar' form of Kabaddi, whenever any player is touched (out), he does not
go out of the court, but stays inside, and one point is awarded to the team that touched
him. This game is also played on a time basis, i.e. the time is fixed. This form of kabaddi
is played in Punjab, Canada, England, New Zealand, USA, Pakistan and Australia. In the
Amar form of Kabaddi, each team consists of 5–6 stoppers and 4–5 raiders. At one time,
only 4 stoppers are allowed to play on the field. Every time a stopper stops the raider
from going back to his starting point, that stoppers team gets 1 point. On the other hand,
every time the raider tags one of the stoppers and returns to his starting point, his team
gets one point. At one time, only one of the stoppers can try.
Sanjeevni

In Sanjeevni Kabaddi, one player is revived against one player of the opposite
team who is out, one out, one in. The duration, the number of players, dimensions of the
court, etc. have been fixed by the Kabaddi Federation of India. This form of Kabaddi is
the closest to the present game. In this form of Kabaddi, players are put out and revived
and the game lasts 40 minutes with a 5-minute break in between. There are nine players
on each side. The team that puts out all the players on the opponent's side scores four
extra points for a 'Iona'. The winning team is the one that scores most points after 40
minutes. The field is bigger in this form of Kabaddi and the 'cant' different in various
regions. Modern Kabaddi resembles this form of Kabaddi especially with regard to 'out &
revival system' and 'Iona'. The present form of Kabaddi is a synthesis of all these forms
with changes in the rules.[4][5]

Gaminee

This is played with nine players on either side, in a field of no specific

measurements. The characteristic is that a player put out has to remain out until all his
team members are out. The team that is successful in putting out all the players of the
opponent's side secures a point. This is akin to the present system of 'Iona'. After all the
players are put out, the team is revived and the game continues. The game continues until
five or seven 'Iona' are secured. This form of Kabaddi has no fixed game time. The main
disadvantage of Gaminee is that the player is not in position to give his best performance
since he is likely to remain out for the better part of the match until an Iona is scored. [4][5]
