Formats of the game

 Kabaddi is played in 3 styles - Circle kabaddi, Beach kabaddi, and National style Kabaddi. The circle Kabaddi was demonstrated in the 1936 Berlin Olympics. The beach kabaddi was introduced in Bali Asian Indoor games in 2008 and National style kabaddi was introduced as a medal sport by Beijing ASIAD in 1990. 

These three styles of Kabaddi are played in three different formats.

The three types of Kabaddi are 

  1. Surjeevani

  2. Gaminee

  3. Amar

1.Surjeevani Kabaddi

This form of Kabaddi is played under the Kabaddi Federation of India. It is governed by kabaddi federations rules and regulations. In this Kabaddi, one player takes the place against a player of the opposite team who is out. It follows the rule - One out, One in.


The Kabaddi federation of India fixes the rules, number of players, duration of the game, dimensions of the court, etc. 

2. Gaminee Kabaddi

 In this type of Kabaddi, no players get revived. There is no time limit for this Gaminee type and when all the players are out, the game ends. 

3. Amar Kabaddi

In this type of Kabaddi, when a player is out, he won't leave the court. One point is awarded to the team that touched him. Hence, one point is given for each touch for the opposite side, i.e to Antis. Amar kabaddi is played on a time basis. I.e time is fixed. 

In northern India, the game is played in a circle known as circle kabaddi or Amar kabaddi. 

Despite having different styles and forms, Kabaddi involves a fantastic body and mind fitness and ability to concentrate and anticipate the opponent’s moves.
