Kabaddi is a combative team game which is played on a rectangular court, either out-doors or indoors with seven players on the ground for each side.

The basic idea of the game is to score as many points as they could by raiding into the opponents court and touch as many defence players as possible without getting caught on a single breath. When playing the game, the players on the defensive side are called "Antis" while the player of the other side is called "Raider". The antis that has been touched by the Raider during the attack are declared "out". Yoga, the Indian science to control body and mind through meditation and self-control plays an integral part of Kabaddi. The raider has to enter the opponent's court chanting the word "Kabaddi" while holding his breath and has to continue to do so until he returns to his home court.
