Seems easy? The caveat is that the raider has to hold his/her breath for the entire duration of their attack! Hence why the raiders chant "kabaddi, kabaddi, kabaddi" to prove to the referee that they haven't taken a breath. The raider must tag an opponent and return to his/her half without inhaling in order to get the points.

The attack is known as Raid, the defensive side is known as Antis, and the offensive team is known as Raiders. Raiders get "out" if they are attacked and touched by Antis.

They play for 20 minute halves with a 5 minute break and a change of ends.

Kabaddi is also known as “a game of struggle”, as it is a match between one against seven players.
