Kabaddi is a traditional contact sport that has been a part of Asian culture for centuries. It involves two teams, where players take turns raiding the opposing team’s side, trying to score points without being tackled. It’s a game that requires a combination of strength, agility, and strategy. Kabaddi is played at both national and international levels, and it is particularly popular in India, Bangladesh, and other South Asian countries.
