History of Kabbadi - Kabbadi is an ancient sport that originated in Tamil Nadu. There are indications of Kabbadi in various ancient Tamil Scripts which date the sport to be more than 4,000 years old. It was a very popular sport played in the early centuries as a way to develop the physical strength, agility and reflexes. The name 'Kabbadi' is derived from the Tamil words 'Kai Pudi', which translates to 'Holding Hands', a very common move seen in the game. Factualcritic (talk) 11:30, 24 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Abysmal English but worse, Wokepedia strikes again[edit]

Yes the whole article is badly written but it starts off in miserable fashion seemingly brought on by the faddish wokeness of misusing pronouns. The sentence reads: " a single player on offense, referred to as a ‘raider’, to run into the opposing team's half of the court, touch out as many of their players and return to their own half of the court." [emphasis added]

This is confusing — is there a single player and the "their" just a misuse of the plural to avoid gender indication or is the "single" somehow a mistake. If it’s just another example of wokeness destroying the English language (among other damage) then it is just Wokepedia living up to its well deserved ridicule.

I would make the change were I not so certain it would be instantly returned to its pathetic current state by one of those fashioning this demise of a once respectable attempt at a neutral people’s encyclopedia. Sychonic (talk) 05:34, 13 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Single Breath[edit]

"While raiding, the raider must loudly chant kabaddi, confirming to referees that their raid is done on a single breath without inhaling." I've been watching this sport on YouTube, both professional and an amateur college club. I haven't seen any example featuring a raider chanting anything. And really, cheating (breathing) without being caught would be so easy, surely they aren't attempting to enforce that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 163.47.51.78 (talk) 13:16, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
