gueman Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Ahh the things we discover on Wikipedia..."Kabaddi- is a team sport originally from the Indian subcontinent. Two teams occupy opposite halves of a field and take turns sending a "raider" into the other half, in order to win points by tagging or wrestling members of the opposing team; the raider then tries to return to his own half, holding his breath during the whole raid."Kabaddi.org Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.

Island_Style Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Haha, is that real? That seems like a game you would make up as a kid with all the other neighborhood kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could make it a pretty interesting sport if they had it where they see how many opponents the raider can tackle before being tackled, or something like that.

WelshSteeler Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Kabaddi used to be shown on Channel 4 TV in the UK in the eighties - it is indeed a strange sight!

gueman Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 I'll call you're Kabaddi, and raise you a Buzkashi!True...but India wants Kabaddi in the Olympics, it already is in the Asian Games. Which is how I discovered it looking at all the Asain Games logos on Wiki. While Buzkashi would be cool too imagine the the uproar PETA would have over that!
