Kabaddi originated in India and has been played for centuries.

A Kabaddi team consists of 7 players on the field at a time.

A Kabaddi match consists of two halves, each lasting 20 minutes.

The objective of Kabaddi is to score points by touching as many of the opponent's players as possible while holding your breath.

The raider is the player who crosses the opponent's line to score points.

The defender is the player who tries to stop the raider from scoring points.

The center circle is the area in the center of the Kabaddi court where the game starts.

The mid-court line divides the Kabaddi court into two halves.

The bonus line is the line that the raider must cross to score a point.

The 30-second rule prevents the raider from staying in the opponent's half for more than 30 seconds.

The baulk rule prevents the defenders from tackling the raider below the waist.

The bonus rule awards a bonus point to the raiding team if the raider touches all five defenders.

The touch rule requires the raider to chant "Kabaddi" while holding their breath.

American Kabaddi is not a type of Kabaddi.

India won the first Kabaddi World Cup in 2004.
