Innocent are those who think kabbadi is an easy sport to play professionally.😂 The amount of body strength and flexibility you need in kabaddi is just unbelievable. Imagine being one against seven.
No one is saying that its easy lol. Its not easy to be a professional at any sport. That's why they are the professionals, they are the best at what they do. I simply said that I think I could be good at this game. The skills needed fits a lot of what I was good at it when I was younger and playing multiple different sports.

This game was played in a state called Tamilnadu around 3000 years ago by history and may even be older. It was not actually a sport but a war practise for the soldiers. Kabaddi came from "Kai pidi". It was meant to be rough but became a sport later on with rules. Anyways my fav thing about this game is the non stop action, pacing is intense. A fun to watch❤
Kabaddi history in the Mahabharata Deeply rooted in Indian culture for centuries, kabaddi has even found a mention in Hindu mythology. In the Sanskrit epic Mahabharata, It is said that the Pandava warrior, Arjuna, mastered kabaddi’s skills from Lord Krishna, who adored the sport. The story goes that Arjuna would breach enemy walls inconspicuously and would walk back unscathed with his kabaddi skills.@@RealFansSports
Hey guys, Nice to see that your exploring the sports world other than baseball and football. Kabaddi is very ancient and indigenous to India. Majority of Indians have played it in schools or colleges. It's game of strength and stamina. Here what are are seeing is at pro level. And by the way India is the world champion of kabaddi.😊👍. Also it's has a league called Pro Kabaddi League check it out....
In west, sports are a business not a game. You cannot play without an ability to purchase equipment or products. Kabaddi is a very historical game played for fun which has now turned into a sporting business because of the demand.
Sports are a game at the lower level! lol. We still play all of the sports that you see on tv without buying all kind of equipment lol. Just need a ball or shoot ive even played serious football games with a pine cone! Basketball with a milk carton with the the bottom cut out and socks rolled into a ball or baseball with a rock and a nice stick
Bold of you to assume BCCI doesn't use cricket as a business. Every where in the world there are people who jump at the chance to earn money from sports and they don't even care about the sport it self.
Flow chart for kabaddi reaction : 1) react to type of scoring options for a raider 2) react to best raids of pkl(pro kabbaddi league) 3) react to types of tackles. 4) react to best tackles of pkl. 5) watch highlights.. I suggest you to go in an order to understand and enjoy better
This was such an entertaining sport to watch. We probably can use some more watch time to get an even better understanding but this was a fun one as well.
It is an ancient sport . It is much much older than lot of the contact sports that exists today. That's where the one breath and chanting kabbadi part comes from. They took out the One breath part out of the rule book when they started pro league. Now there is a time limit for your raid like 30 seconds or something. The one breath rule is still used in local tournaments and all.
Chanting Kabbadi in one breath is not mandatory unless you are chanting it so yes. You shouldn't stop chanting The red is the players who are out. Green is the number of players present on the court also known as Mat
No one can compete against india in kabaddi it's not as easy as you think you need too much stamina power egility and intelligence try to watch one live Pro kabaddi league game you don't get it what it requires if you watch highlights.
@@RealFansSportsand also you need to be attentive..any bit of carelessness by the defender or raider can prove costly..also it requires a lot of intelligence in the dying moments of the game..once you watch the game you will understand
@@vikrantpv yeah. This is the most important aspect to be added in this video but was overlooked and surprisingly neither of them asked ... "Will that raider keeping tagging the whole 20 mins or do we have a time limit?" , so thought of mentioning.
@silverrahulYes - I understand that. The video talks about it instead of timer usage. My point was either of two are sufficient as both serve the same purpose of timer.
Kabaddi was part of military drills in ancient times, as it helps with teamwork, strategy building and it involves physical activity. Not needing any equipment made it a great training exercise for armed forces on field. It is a fun game, considering it lasts less than an hour you can even create a watch party or youtube live stream and have fun with viewers! PKL is going on anyway. 🙂
This game was mostly used to improve your stamina and train in agility and strength! . The slap game you mentioned is from Pakistan and they also call it Kabaddi, but it's completely different from original Indian game!
This is just like a fun version of Wrestling, since it requires both strength, agility and techniques, that is why it is an ancient Indian game like wrestling.
@@RealFansSports it's not that big . First I represent my school. Then I got selected to represent my district . Not that big . If I got selected for state level then it was a big thing for me . In Under 15 years level .
So back when I used to play (like 15 years back) kabbadi wasn't a popular sport yet. There were professional players but we didn't know about them. And oh boy, no other game gave us so much joy. Like we were hooked. Lots of fun, but very prone to injury. So our families were not very happy to see us play Kabbadi. Also, we had to buy sportswear regularly. No clothing lasted more than a couple of days. Miss those days and those friends.
Best part about this sports is no equipment required, neither a ball nor a glove or anything, traditionally it is played with bare foots so no one could crush someone's foot accidently or as a precaution, u just need an empty garden, or a ground with soft layer of sand so no one gets hurt, In schools we used to finish our lunch quickly in 5 minutes or even before the Lunch starts and just go in the group draw 2 rectangles using a stick and Play, cost of 0 penny but full enjoyment and health boost
I’ve played things very similar to this before. At my age now with all my previous injuries yeah probably would get hurt now 😂 but not back when I was still actively playing sports.
It is a tag the opponent game, while chanting 'kabbaddi' repeatedly in a steady pace( or using smart breathing techniques so as not to have any pauses) it is a strategic, high energy intensive game ..very ancient game played on clay soil
There might be confusion about saying kabaddi in one breath, it's also impossible for umpire to understand raider is said kabaddi in one breath, so that is the reason every raid is only for 30 sec.
The defenders ( whose job is to tackle the raider) usually playing in both corner position and 1 or 2 in the middle positions among 7 players . The defenders hold the wrist of the guy next to him , so that he can form a chain to tackle the raider or dash him out of court and if he wants to hold the ankle or waist of the raider he can quickly leave the wrist of his partner and attack the ankle or waist of the raider, that's is why they are called a chain tackle or a solo tackle
Holding hands of partner player also help the defender when he tries to save himself from the raider so take back steps and might lost his balance so he can use his partner to support him to save him from going in the lobby area or out or cross the end line in the back.
Breathing and chanting is basically to maintain a time frame since there's no stopwatch back then. However these days stopwatch is used in major matches. But in smaller matches chanting is still an important thing.
Hlo , this is my first time watching your channel . And I really loved how you paused the video time and again replayed it to better understand the ebbs and flows of this sport . And nice guess there , it was indeed inspired by military drill/exercise done by the ancient indian kingdoms thousands of years ago and probably some kid took note of it and later evolved to a sport . There are many permutations to this game like formations with the defnders and another version had circular ring Anyways I loved the reaction it was natural so congrts you earned another subscriber 😊
Kabbadi is a really old sports. It’s pretty much considered ancient (4000yrs old) compared to current modern sports, thus why it has a childhood game vibe ( older children’s games come from such sports) and it has that kingdom vs raider vibe. The breath hold is so that the players don’t stall. You have till you run out of breath to score a goal or get back to safety. It adds a bit of desperation and ensures the game doesn’t drag on.
Not a child game. Indian civilisation places a lot emphasis on breadth and that is why yoga has so man breadth excercises. In fact the word for breadth „pram“ also means „life“. Breadth is life. Mastery over breadth is master over life.
Game is super fun. But need lots of flexibility ,strength and stamina and it can cause injuries like joint dislocation, broken bones and torn muscles often. But every worth playing.
The bonus point rule is that when your foot crosses the bonus line, the other foot must be in the air. The foot will obviously touch later, but at the point of impact, the rule is that other foot must be in air. As for holding hands, it is a strategy. When a raider is trying to touch the defenders, the can go back only till the endline. But by holding hands, the player can use the other person as a pole and lean even more back without going outside. If you see more videos, you'll understand that. Also notice how they hold hands, they don't hold palms. One person, usually the inside one, gives his hand and the other person holds the wrist area. And a thing you might find interesting is kabaddi name is derived from Tamil words 'Kai pidi' meaning 'hold hands'. Although that isn't the actual game, its a fun fact.
It is a strategy to hold hands to encircle the opponent & stop him reaching mid line but if the opponent touches mid line all players holding hands are out
@@RealFansSports not exactly..all defenders who have touched the raider in pursuit of tackling him will be out..(irrespective of whether the raider touched the defender or not) In simpler words..a touch is a touch if a defender touches the raider or raider touches the defender before he crosses midline To counter this what defenders do is..when one defender tackles the raider..they tend to hold the defender without touching the raider..so if at all raider reaches the midline..only that defender will be out who is in direct contact with the raider but this is instinctive and the defenders need to make a decision whether to tackle directly after the first touch or hold defender..you will understand that while watching in realtime)
This sport has historical/mythological significance. It might be more than 5000yrs old. Its about a young warrior(abhimanyu) who in battlefield, in absence of his father, Barged in and broke in 7 tierd formation(chakravyuha). But his knowledge was incomplete, he only knew to break in, he attained a glorious death. This game is about doing what abhimanyu couldn't do.
3:24 This game is ancient , played around 500 CE maybe it existed even before that but we have a record of 500 CE to 1500 CE , Kabaddi today as game has transformed several times , at that time it was called Sadugudu or Jallikattu or KAI PIDI etc different names used at different time & different places in Akhand Bharat ( Greater India ). There are evidences available for Kabbadi being played in Iran (Persia) in 2000s to 2500s. So really nobody can tell how it started , but there are instances of Kabbadi & HUTUTU (Man's game) , Sattgotti & KHOKHO (Child's game) being played in Mahabharata's detailed texts. So yes it is ancient.
Also about chanting kabadi in one breath, the way the word kabadi is pronounced, the ka(badi - this part is said by blowing out and the start ka in kabadi is made with in take of air. So it's not like he is not getting oxygen, one just should not stop saying the word for a second while raiding
Punjab style Kabbadi is the original old form... Then it went through many changes to become the modern day 'National Style Kabbadi ' which can be played in less area and easier to manage for The authority.
the chanting of word 'Kabbadi' is not needed anymore... it was to be the case long time ago.. now each raid has a time limit... which is displayed below .. it is 30 seconds for each raid.. That's it.
This is absolutely a kids sport. Now a days kids do not play out as much as we used to growing up. We played Kabbadi quite a bit. It really needs nothing other than a square area. You can then cut down on the rules to make it interesting. It is a lot of fun and builds your lungs and lung capacity as you have to hold your breadth while chanting Kabbadi. They holds hands so that when you tackle together you wrap him up and not let the raider get away. You are right we should bring it to the US colleges... Also womens Kabbadi would be awesome and co-ed as well...
One thing I have to add in your reaction that breadth part was in old days but now days there is 30 second for each raid but but but u have to say kabaddi kabaddi but u can breadth tooo like kabaddi breadth and kabaddi like that ❤ I hope u understand
It was not invented by kids. The Kabbadi was game of best athletes in ancient times. You have to use your brain and body strength in a small space. You dont have too much space have to judge and act within split seconds
Ok it's and indian traditional game , and this game has two types , one you are watching is national kabbadi and second type of kabbadi is called Circle style kabbadi and both are different ..... national kabbadi is an international game and circle or Punjab style kabbadi is played in Haryana and Punjab(two states of India) and Punjab (Pakistan)
Just frekin watch just a single match with your indian friend and you will be master of the game, i can assure you that ask him all of the questions during the match all of your will be cleared.
The other sport you were talking about is other version of Kabbadi called circle Kabbadi very popular in Northwest India and Pakistan. In this game only one defender can tackle raider not the team and the mid line is very far away. Much more difficult much more physical.
This sport is like team chess but physically demanding and being agile asf. Its a very old sport which was more of a war training but now it's more standardised with set of rules which make it even more fast paced and fun. Me and my friends use to go in a ground with grass , emove our shoes and place them straight to make a court and it was so much fun but its dangerous as well if you will not play it with caution cause one student in our school fractured his hand while playing!!!
We can breath while we chant what i think is its to make the sport more disciplined.As the raider enters the court opponents start sledging if the raider start replying them with mouth situation will be hostile.
@@RealFansSports He brought that up because that is how this game has been played for thousands of years. It is only now that competitive Kabaddi is being played like a modern sport and that the need for more "fair" rules was felt and they switched from the breath rule to the time rule. This game is older than Yoga, and since Yoga itself is at least 6000 years old, that makes this game older than that. Although the academic debate on how old it is is still on, academia has concluded that it is at least 4000 years old. Ancient Hindu Epics describe the Gods playing this sport thousands of years prior to even that era, so some even believe it has been around for around 10,000 years. And the breath rule is how it has been played for literal millennia. In fact, if you see the Pro League raiders carefully, they do chant the word Kabaddi repeatedly out of force of habit. Even I was completely unaware of this time rule instead of breath rule system until I saw the Pro League for the first time.
When you look for kabaddi results on RUclips, you seem to get two kinds. One of them is this kind of "arena kabaddi" which is played indoors, has a middle-class looking audience including some women, and often has commentary in English. The other kind is an outdoor sport with a larger field, which can be either grass or sand. The players do not wear shirts, and the audience is entirely male and tends toward Indian clothing, and some matches have a lot of people in Sikh turbans. The clothing is the "Persian" Indian kind, like maybe the matches are in Punjab or Rajasthan. The second type is predominant in videos from the US and Canada.
Kabaddi history in the Mahabharata Deeply rooted in Indian culture for centuries, kabaddi has even found a mention in Hindu books. In the Sanskrit epic Mahabharata, It is said that the Pandava warrior, Arjuna, mastered kabaddi’s skills from Lord Krishna, who adored the sport. The story goes that Arjuna would breach enemy walls inconspicuously and would walk back unscathed with his kabaddi skills.
i have played kabaddi in fierce competitions and it was serious to me and let me tell you it's not a kid's play at all. it's a very serious game you have to play tricks and mindgames with your opponents all the time you're playing doesn't matter if you're on defending side or an attacker.
Oh yeah ofcourse. I think a lot of people are misinterpreting what we are saying. We are saying it reminds us of a school yard game. Ofcourse the games have serious strategies when you play it competitively. That goes the same as with playing tag, or dodgeball as a kid and then playing it in a league.
the indian government have set aside jobs for those that are good at kabaddi but dont make the pros. this encourages a lot of people in the country to get good at this sport. In one word if I were to describe the sport, it's heroic. 1 vs 7. It's ancient. The buddha played it. Everyone in south india played it growing up like kick ball in the states. There are a ton of moments in kabaddi that are fun and exciting to watch because it's 1 vs many. the rounds are short. it's even more accessible than soccer (football) because you dont need a ball. There's also a japanese anime about kabaddi that's quite good. Once this gets in the Olympics, it will grow even more.
When i learned kabbadi it took only 5-10 mins and that too without any video represntation,you americans make everything sound so hard and impossible,but its one of the easiest game around,you go in chanting kabbadi continously for 30 secs,touch someone you get points,it they catch you,you are out thts it
Wishing you all the success in 2024. If you insist I'd suggest mix up content in terms of reaction to music trailers etc along with sports.( Indian content has a great scope for success just because of the number game and you won't know when you hit milestones like 10,20 , 50 k even million subs. My 2 cents ❤❤❤
Innocent are those who think kabbadi is an easy sport to play professionally.😂
The amount of body strength and flexibility you need in kabaddi is just unbelievable. Imagine being one against seven.
And in one breath, when the others are all breathing freely.
also endurance stamina

that is called chain to connect with other defender and support each other while raider chasing you
Another most important rule U ignored is that raider has only 30 seconds to get point or back without point in his side otherwise he would be out

Holding hands of partner player also help the defender when he tries to save himself from the raider so take back steps and might lost his balance so he can use his partner to support him to save him from going in the lobby area or out or cross the end line in the back.

Oh wow really, thats very interesting to hear that.
@@RealFansSports not exactly..all defenders who have touched the raider in pursuit of tackling him will be out..(irrespective of whether the raider touched the defender or not)
In simpler words..a touch is a touch if a defender touches the raider or raider touches the defender before he crosses midline
To counter this what defenders do is..when one defender tackles the raider..they tend to hold the defender without touching the raider..so if at all raider reaches the midline..only that defender will be out who is in direct contact with the raider but this is instinctive and the defenders need to make a decision whether to tackle directly after the first touch or hold defender..you will understand that while watching in realtime)
This sport has historical/mythological significance. It might be more than 5000yrs old.
Its about a young warrior(abhimanyu) who in battlefield, in absence of his father, Barged in and broke in 7 tierd formation(chakravyuha). But his knowledge was incomplete, he only knew to break in, he attained a glorious death.
This game is about doing what abhimanyu couldn't do.
This game was so ancient that it was used to improve co ordination between men to catch a prey in jungle
3:24 This game is ancient , played around 500 CE maybe it existed even before that but we have a record of 500 CE to 1500 CE , Kabaddi today as game has transformed several times , at that time it was called Sadugudu or Jallikattu or KAI PIDI etc different names used at different time & different places in Akhand Bharat ( Greater India ).
There are evidences available for Kabbadi being played in Iran (Persia) in 2000s to 2500s.
So really nobody can tell how it started , but there are instances of Kabbadi & HUTUTU (Man's game) , Sattgotti & KHOKHO (Child's game) being played in Mahabharata's detailed texts.
So yes it is ancient.
Also about chanting kabadi in one breath, the way the word kabadi is pronounced, the ka(badi - this part is said by blowing out and the start ka in kabadi is made with in take of air. So it's not like he is not getting oxygen, one just should not stop saying the word for a second while raiding
Punjab style Kabbadi is the original old form... Then it went through many changes to become the modern day 'National Style Kabbadi ' which can be played in less area and easier to manage for The authority.
Kabbadi has given me more injuries than any other sport ever.... hammering bodies towards others isn't child's play.
Its one of the oldest games in India, easily thousand or more years old. the format is changed just a tiny bit to make it viable for commercial sports
the chanting of word 'Kabbadi' is not needed anymore... it was to be the case long time ago.. now each raid has a time limit... which is displayed below .. it is 30 seconds for each raid.. That's it.
This is absolutely a kids sport. Now a days kids do not play out as much as we used to growing up. We played Kabbadi quite a bit. It really needs nothing other than a square area. You can then cut down on the rules to make it interesting. It is a lot of fun and builds your lungs and lung capacity as you have to hold your breadth while chanting Kabbadi.
They holds hands so that when you tackle together you wrap him up and not let the raider get away.
You are right we should bring it to the US colleges... Also womens Kabbadi would be awesome and co-ed as well...
This game is way cooler and way more electric than cricket ...there's hardly any dull moment in the match of 40 minutes ...
This is a very ancient sport, thousands of years old.
Wrestling was an ancient sport in India, mentioned in many scriptures and this game emerged from their with two teams in short
This is the ancient Indian war game... generally played by ancient Army Generals, Royals etc in order to sharpen their war tactics
One thing I have to add in your reaction that breadth part was in old days but now days there is 30 second for each raid but but but u have to say kabaddi kabaddi but u can breadth tooo like kabaddi breadth and kabaddi like that ❤ I hope u understand
It was not invented by kids. The Kabbadi was game of best athletes in ancient times. You have to use your brain and body strength in a small space. You dont have too much space have to judge and act within split seconds
Bro u should make a vidio on best of pkl kabbadii
Ok it's and indian traditional game , and this game has two types , one you are watching is national kabbadi and second type of kabbadi is called Circle style kabbadi and both are different ..... national kabbadi is an international game and circle or Punjab style kabbadi is played in Haryana and Punjab(two states of India) and Punjab (Pakistan)
Just frekin watch just a single match with your indian friend and you will be master of the game, i can assure you that ask him all of the questions during the match all of your will be cleared.
The other sport you were talking about is other version of Kabbadi called circle Kabbadi very popular in Northwest India and Pakistan. In this game only one defender can tackle raider not the team and the mid line is very far away. Much more difficult much more physical.
Kabaddi can get quite popular in the west. Its simple and short (in terms of time) and with big men will be very entertaining
This sport is like team chess but physically demanding and being agile asf. Its a very old sport which was more of a war training but now it's more standardised with set of rules which make it even more fast paced and fun. Me and my friends use to go in a ground with grass , emove our shoes and place them straight to make a court and it was so much fun but its dangerous as well if you will not play it with caution cause one student in our school fractured his hand while playing!!!
It's nothing like chess but I agree with the rest of your comment.
We can breath while we chant what i think is its to make the sport more disciplined.As the raider enters the court opponents start sledging if the raider start replying them with mouth situation will be hostile.
its a traditional game played in parts of india like haryana ,punjab and many more and it was not just a game started by kids
Holding breath is not an actual thing or rule ...forget you heard that ...
It's not I wonder why he even brought that up.
@@RealFansSports He brought that up because that is how this game has been played for thousands of years. It is only now that competitive Kabaddi is being played like a modern sport and that the need for more "fair" rules was felt and they switched from the breath rule to the time rule.
This game is older than Yoga, and since Yoga itself is at least 6000 years old, that makes this game older than that. Although the academic debate on how old it is is still on, academia has concluded that it is at least 4000 years old. Ancient Hindu Epics describe the Gods playing this sport thousands of years prior to even that era, so some even believe it has been around for around 10,000 years. And the breath rule is how it has been played for literal millennia.
In fact, if you see the Pro League raiders carefully, they do chant the word Kabaddi repeatedly out of force of habit. Even I was completely unaware of this time rule instead of breath rule system until I saw the Pro League for the first time.
When you look for kabaddi results on RUclips, you seem to get two kinds. One of them is this kind of "arena kabaddi" which is played indoors, has a middle-class looking audience including some women, and often has commentary in English.
The other kind is an outdoor sport with a larger field, which can be either grass or sand. The players do not wear shirts, and the audience is entirely male and tends toward Indian clothing, and some matches have a lot of people in Sikh turbans. The clothing is the "Persian" Indian kind, like maybe the matches are in Punjab or Rajasthan.
The second type is predominant in videos from the US and Canada.
Kabaddi history in the Mahabharata
Deeply rooted in Indian culture for centuries, kabaddi has even found a mention in Hindu books. In the Sanskrit epic Mahabharata, It is said that the Pandava warrior, Arjuna, mastered kabaddi’s skills from Lord Krishna, who adored the sport. The story goes that Arjuna would breach enemy walls inconspicuously and would walk back unscathed with his kabaddi skills.
One breath rule is preety old in new kabbadi they directly gives 30 sec for raid
The simple meaning is you have to cross the bonus line to get the bonus point, you can't just touch the bonus line to get the bonus point.
The bulk line is called walk line and one foot in air and one touching it is the rule.... It is not for bonus line
You should touch across bonus line,lift it up and come,u can't touch across bonus line and drag it it.........bonus point criteria
♥️🌺🌹🇮🇳🙏
i have played kabaddi in fierce competitions and it was serious to me and let me tell you it's not a kid's play at all. it's a very serious game you have to play tricks and mindgames with your opponents all the time you're playing doesn't matter if you're on defending side or an attacker.
Oh yeah ofcourse. I think a lot of people are misinterpreting what we are saying. We are saying it reminds us of a school yard game. Ofcourse the games have serious strategies when you play it competitively. That goes the same as with playing tag, or dodgeball as a kid and then playing it in a league.
The red color indicates how many players are out and remaining before this raid.
Currently Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) is happening.. every day at 8 p.m. IST..you can watch them
They hold hands because the name kabbadi comes from 'Kai pidi' means hold hands. Its 1000s of yrs old. Very old game.
Green colour represent no of players in game
Thank you for that information.
Just find a Kabaddi League match and watch it. Best way to understand the game.
kool
Kabadi is an ancient Indian warfare game
Additional information for you guys kabbadi original played in Punjab state of India and original kabbadi is different then what u r seeing
Guys, you should watch matches of PKL(pro Kabaddi league)
the indian government have set aside jobs for those that are good at kabaddi but dont make the pros. this encourages a lot of people in the country to get good at this sport. In one word if I were to describe the sport, it's heroic. 1 vs 7. It's ancient. The buddha played it. Everyone in south india played it growing up like kick ball in the states. There are a ton of moments in kabaddi that are fun and exciting to watch because it's 1 vs many. the rounds are short. it's even more accessible than soccer (football) because you dont need a ball. There's also a japanese anime about kabaddi that's quite good. Once this gets in the Olympics, it will grow even more.
You need to cross the mid line..even finger tips will do but touching the mid line will not be considered as successful raid
When i learned kabbadi it took only 5-10 mins and that too without any video represntation,you americans make everything sound so hard and impossible,but its one of the easiest game around,you go in chanting kabbadi continously for 30 secs,touch someone you get points,it they catch you,you are out thts it
The concept of the game isn’t hard. And it’s definitely easier to learn things while playing it lol
Fun Fact this Sports is more older then western civilization 😂😂
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hey gays
i would like to suggest you to explore pro kabaddi
Kabaddi is ancient indian sports
Dope.
Kabaddi is like group wrestling, with kicks. if you play one round, you will sweat buckets.
Its is basically extreme tag + dodgeball
Wishing you all the success in 2024.
If you insist I'd suggest mix up content in terms of reaction to music trailers etc along with sports.( Indian content has a great scope for success just because of the number game and you won't know when you hit milestones like 10,20 , 50 k even million subs. My 2 cents ❤❤❤
the "kabbadi" chanting rule has been given away to a time rule
