yo what's up guys today we are going to learn about kabaddi
so apparently um yesterday was the first
match of kabaddi in two years due to covet and you guys have been asking me hey react to kabaddi
and i've seen this in movies but i don't know the rules i don't know anything about it so
i hope you guys enjoy my reaction don't forget to like and subscribe
let's go to some educational time ninh explains the rules of kabaddi kabaddi is an indian sport
played with two teams of 12 players with seven players taken to the court at any one time
the game is played on a rectangular court that's generally a maximum of 30 meters by 10 meters this
is a midline that divides the court into two and these are the bulk lines the end lines the bonus
lines and this is the lobby area i'll explain what these are shortly is this like the squid
game game the last squid game or the name of the game is squid game the object of the game
is for your team to score more points than the opposing team to score a team must send a player
known as a raider into the opposing half of the court whilst chanting the word kafadi repeatedly
arena must only use one breath and chant the word kapadi repeatedly to show the
referee that he is exhaling and not holding his breath the first goal of the raider is wait why
why can he not hold his breath oh okay it's in only one breath
closing half of the court whilst chanting the word kabaddi repeatedly
so if he takes too long he's gonna faint because he doesn't breathe right a raider must only use
one breath and chant the word kabaddi repeatedly to show the referee that he's exhaling and not
holding his breath okay the first goal of the raider is to reach the balkline failure
to do this results in the raider being out and cannot participate in the next part of the game
the second goal of the raider is to touch as many plays as he can and make it back to the
midline before he is caught and tackled by the defenders okay he can do this in several ways
with a hand touch a toe touch a kick or by trying to escape a tackle and reaching for the midline
he gets one point for every opposing defender that he touches so long as he makes it back
to the midline or whilst repeatedly chanting the word kabaddi and any touch defenders are
out and cannot participate in the next round of play okay so he has to touch everyone um
thus and then he gets a point right okay and then he needs to go back to the line okay i think
it makes sense understand it so far cool let's continue understand so far cool let's continue
the defenders sometimes known as aunties will try and stop the raider returning to the midline
especially if one of them has been touched they can use several tactics such as the ankle hole
back hold front tackle and forcing them off the court entirely
if the defenders manage to stop the raider returning to his own half of the court the raider
is out and the defending team gets one point once a raid is finished the opposing team must send out
a radar of their own within five seconds or the team will lose a point got it good okay
because it's about to get a lot more complicated okay it's gonna get more complicated wow okay
so let me get this straight this is supposed to be a children's game that became a sport
that became a national event that is so cool that is very cool okay so i think i understand
the the idea is for you to make as many points as possible right before you get tackled
so if you're tackled you're out and then if you touch them and you're you go back to the line then
they're out as well okay let's keep going i'll i'll process this whole information when a player
is out he must wait in the sitting block and is temporarily unable to participate in the game
oh just like you know call of duty when you know you die you have to wait okay once a raider has
been tackled or a point has been scored they are allowed to revive one of their own players out of
the sitting block to reconnect the team okay this means that every time you score you can revive one
or more of your players back onto the field of play okay makes sense the game is played in two
20-minute halves for a combined playing time of 40 minutes high score at the end of time wins kabaddi
is the ultimate game of cat and mouse as the defenders have to be far enough away so that they
can't be touched but also close enough to tackle the raider should he decide to make a run for it
this is a highly strategic sport and there's a few more rules that you'll need to understand before
playing or watching game okay for example the lobby the lobby is an extended area of play which
is denoted by the yellow areas here okay these are only active when a defender has been touched
and gives both the raider and defender more room to try and score or get the raider out
okay bonus line as mentioned before this is the bonus line if a raider puts one foot in the bonus
line with one foot in the air he will score one point so long as he makes it back to the midline
however the bonus line is quite far from the midline and reaching for this line makes it
easier for the defender to tackle you it's very risky the bonus line is only active when there are
six or seven defenders on the court super tackle okay because it would be easier if there are
if there's just one person right makes sense if there are three or less defenders on the defending
team and they manage to tackle a raider this is known as a super tackle and scores two points one
point for eliminating the raider and a bonus point for doing so with three or less defenders okay
doing that if a team has two unsuccessful raids i.e they score zero both times the third raid is
the do or die raid failing to score on the third raid in a row results in the raider being out
okay pursuit a pursuit is where a defender charges at a retreating raider with the aim of scoring a
quick point off him this is usually done if the other team is slow to retreat from a raid and the
defender is close enough to score a point and make it back to the midline quickly before the other
players realize all out if in the rare instance a raider gets all the defenders out in one raid
this is known as an all-out the raiding team gets one point per player and an additional two points
all players are revived after an all-out to the uninitiated kabaddi so he said this is a rare case
it normally doesn't happen seems strange confusing even ridiculous but once you understand the rules
it becomes an interesting sport to watch if you found this video at all helpful please like share

exciting it could get it doesn't look so exciting from my first impression but i if it's on tv
it surely is exciting but i need to watch it to get the emotions you know um i didn't know
a lot about cricket and then after watching it i i saw it could get a lot like very exciting
some parts if you're watching it for five days i think some parts will often get boring some parts
but it's like football when you watch football if nothing is going on you're like oh come on it's
nil nil and nobody scored nobody even attempted a goal sometimes you could it's good
it gets boring but then when the shots start coming in you know hitting the crossbar and
all of that you're like oh this is intense or when you start seeing goals coming in
five five oh that's a nice match in any case i'll see you guys in the next video
