Kabaddi

It is a sport of Hindu origin. In this the participants are formed into two teams and consists in that one of the players of the team, called a raider, passing into the opponent's territory and trying to touch an opponent and quickly return to their area without being taken for an opponent, since the trapped player is eliminated. The particularity of this game is that the raider must not breathe during the attack and for this he must show that he is not doing it by chanting the word "kabaddi" without interruptions; a little complicated, but certainly very original and strange at the same time.
