Circle Style Kabaddi ground

Punjabi kabaddi, also called circle style kabaddi, [1] is a contact sport that originated in the Punjab region, in the northern part of the Indian subcontinent. There are a number of traditional Punjabi kabaddi styles traditionally played in the Punjab region. As standard kabaddi, circle style kabaddi is also played at state and international levels, [2] through various governing bodies such as Kabaddi World Cup (Circle style).

Name

The term kabaddi may be derived from the Punjabi word kauddi ( Punjabi: ਕੌਡੀ) which is chanted to play kauddi or, it is derived from "katta" (calf) ( Punjabi: ਕੱਟਾ) and kauddi (to chopped) ( Punjabi: ਵੱਢੀ) which together has become kauddi. [2]

Traditional Punjabi kabaddi styles

Lambi kauddi

In lambi kauddi ( Punjabi: لمبی کوڈی/ਲੰਬੀ ਕੌਡੀ) [3] there are 15 players with a circular pitch of 15–20 feet. There is no outer limit. The players can run as far they can. There is no referee. The raider will say "kauddi, kauddi" throughout the attack.

Saunchi kauddi

Saunchi kauddi ( Punjabi: سانچی کوڈی/ਸੌਂਚੀ ਕੌਡੀ) [3] (also called Saunchi pakki/ Punjabi: ਸੌਂਚੀ ਪੱਕੀ) can best be described as being similar to boxing. It is popular in the Malwa area of Punjab. It is unlimited players with a circular playing pitch. A bamboo with red cloth is dug into the ground which is paraded by the winner.

In sauchi kabaddi, the raider will hit the defender but only on the chest. The defender will then hold the raiders wrist. A foul is declared if any other part of the body is grabbed. If the defender holds the raiders wrist and restricts his movement, he will be declared the winner. If the raider loses the grip of the defender, then the raider will be the winner. [3]

Goongi kabaddi

A popular style is Goongi kabaddi ( Punjabi: گونگی کبڈی/ਗੂੰਗੀ ਕਬੱਡੀ) (silent kabaddi) where a raider player does not speak and say the word kabaddi but just touches the opponent's team player and the whom he touches only that player will try to stop the player. The struggle will continue till he reaches the starting line or acknowledge the defeat and loses a point, or if he safely reaches the starting line, he will get the point. [4]

Punjab Circle style

History and development

Kabaddi is the regional sport of the Punjab region and was referred to as Punjabi kabaddi in India and Pakistan. However, with the formation of the states of Haryana and Punjab in India, the same game was referred to as Punjab kabaddi and Haryana kabaddi. This caused confusion and therefore, in 1978, the Amateur Circle Kabaddi Federation of India was formed and the syle of kabaddi played in the Punjab region was named circle kabaddi. [4]

Punjab circle kabaddi, also known as "diarey wali kabaddi" ( Punjabi: دیرے والی کبڈی/ਦਾੲਿਰੇ ਵਾਲੀ ਕਬੱਡੀ) [2] incorporates the kabaddi styles of the Punjab region.

Rules

In the Punjab region, kabaddi is played on a circular [2] pitch of a diameter of 22 meters and an inner circle with a line through the middle of the pitch: the pitch is called kaudi da bharha. There are two teams of 8 players; one on one raid; and no player leaves the field. [3] If 2 stoppers attack a player, a foul is declared. Punjab style kabaddi does not require the raider saying "kabaddi, kabaddi" throughout the raid. [2] The game lasts for 40 minutes with a change in sides after 20 minutes. [3]

In the Punjab Circle Style form of Kabaddi, whenever any player is touched (out), he does not go out of the court, but stays inside, and one point is awarded to the team that touched him. This game is also played on a time basis, i.e. the time is 30 sec.
