Baru tengahari tadi dapat tahu semasa meeting -

ade sikit info aku tulis kat bawah ni yang di catat  dari wikipedia....silalah rujuk lebih lanjut tentang hal ini...
Bila aku meronda2 mencari sukan cerita sukan kabbadi ini -
ade satu berita di Bernama.com....bacalah sendiri di situ...

( bila baca2 cara permainan ini ,aku macam pernah main masa sekolah rendah dulu....seingat aku panggil main belon acah ....buat petak2 - ade 2 kumpulan - pakat main kepong2 - cuba nak keluar ke hujung petak - cuba meloloskan diri dari kepungan lawan...jika boleh lepas lalu kepungan itu sampai hujung - menang! ( ala2 rugby pun yer....!) 

Though kabaddi is primarily an Indian game, not much is known about the origin of this game. There is, however, concrete evidence, that the game is 4,000 year old. It is a team sport, which requires both skill and power, and combines the characteristics of wrestling and rugby. It was originally meant to develop self defence, in addition to responses to attack, and reflexes of counter attack by individuals, and by groups or teams.

It is a rather simple and inexpensive game, and neither requires a massive playing area, nor any expensive equipment. This explains the popularity of the game in rural India. Kabaddi is played all over Asia with minor variations.

Kabaddi is known by various names viz. Chedugudu or Hu-Tu-Tu in southern parts of India, Hadudu (Men) and Chu - Kit-Kit (women) in eastern India, and Kabaddi in northern India.

The sport is also popular in Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Japan and Pakistan.
