Kabaddi, in Punjabi, is a popular team sport across parts of Asia—including Japan and Iran—but is particularly widespread in Pakistan, Bangladesh, and the Indian states of Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, and Punjab. It is in the latter that we will focus. The word “kabaddi,” often chanted during matches, means “to hold one’s breath” in Hindi, an essential action in the sport itself.
Two teams of seven players occupy halves of a playing field roughly 12.5 by 10 meters. Each team has five additional players in reserve. Matches are played in two twenty-minute halves (fifteen minutes for women), with a five-minute break in between to switch sides. Games are organized according to the players’ age and weight.
Kushti, also called Pelwani or Pahlavani, is a traditional form of Indian wrestling in which competitors cover their bodies in mud. Once a highly renowned sport in India, it is now gradually disappearing. However, some continue to fight to preserve their traditions. Wrestlers follow a disciplined lifestyle and a strict diet based on milk, ghee, eggs, and chapattis.

03:16It is from this state that comes our wrestling.
03:24The wrestlers revere the monkey god, Hanuman,
03:28and pray regularly.
03:32Originally, we were practicing fighting
03:34on the ground in the village,
03:36and the villagers used to give us money.
03:39We did not receive any help from the state.
03:42To practice the fighting here,
03:44it takes a lot to train and maintain a proper diet.
03:48That is what is the most difficult.
03:53The best fighters come from the state of Punjab,
03:57Haryana, and Delhi.
04:06Tuesday is our day off.
04:08We reserve that day to pray Hanuman.
04:14The rest of the week, we wake up at 5 a.m.,
04:18and after a brief warm-up, we run for one hour,
04:22stretch, and begin exercises on the ground.
04:26It is especially in the villages that the fighting is practiced.
04:30There are very few practitioners in the cities
04:32because the people in the villages are stronger,
04:34they eat well, and are more comfortable in the fighting.
04:38The village people love very much the kabadi, the kushti.

05:07All parents should send their children to practice sports.
05:18Not necessarily fighting sports, but a sport.
05:26Urban children are not unlike children from villages.
05:29All champions are originally from villages.
05:33But since this wrestling is represented in the Olympics,
05:36wrestlers won some medals and the sport has become more famous.
05:40The wrestlers then began to receive state aid.
05:49Previously, everyone was interested in cricket.

07:07In all the places of Kushti training, you will find a temple dedicated to Hanuman, a temple where arriving wrestlers will drop incense and worship, touching the ground with one hand,
07:37and then their foreheads, then do the same thing in the other direction at the end of the workout.
08:43We're in Amrstrar, the hometown of Harmandir Sahib, also known as the Golden Temple, the spiritual and cultural center of the Sikh community.
09:05The Punjabi words Amrit, which can be translated as nectar, and Sar, which can result in pond or lake.
09:12We are at the Akal Thakt, the Sikh temporal sea.
09:20The Akal Thakt was founded in 1606 by the sixth guru, Hargobain Sahib, to compete with the Mughals who had their seat of power in Delhi.
09:31Later, the guru created a throne and gathered a congregation that brought horses and weapons.
09:39He began practicing the Sikh martial art.
10:07Guru Hargobain Sahib, Guru Hargobain Sahib, Guru Hargobain Sahib, said the Akal Thakt would be greater.
10:12With the help of Baba Buddha and Bhai Gurudas, the Guru Hargobain Sahib, the Guru Hargobain Sahib, erected the seat of Akal Thakt.
10:19In the 16th century, work turned this place into an important city.
10:33The land was purchased from the village of Tun by the fourth Sikh guru, Guru Ram Dass, for 700 rupee.
10:40It began in 1573 by digging the sacred pool, which gave its name to the city.
10:46Then, in 1601, the Golden Temple was completed, and three years later, the Sikh holy book, also considered the last guru, the Adi Granth, was installed by the successor of Guru Ram Dass, the Guru Arjan.
11:03Many Sikhs come here to listen to broadcast prayers.
11:08The temple is a place of pilgrimage open to everyone, regardless of race or religion.
11:15For Sikhs, the water around the temple, called Saharovar Basin, will cure all the ills of those who bathe.
11:24Sikhism, a monotheistic religion, is the fifth world religion with over 20 million followers.
11:32The word Sikh means disciple, he who believes in one god and in the teachings of the ten gurus collected in Guru Granth Sahib, the sacred book of the Sikhs.
11:47Men and women should receive amrit, the Sikh baptism.
11:52Sikhs are recognized around the world as great warriors.
11:56The practice of getka, whose appeal has never waned with Sikhs in India and in the diaspora.
12:06This form of combat is based on the handling of weapons and mental concentration, which is allied in physical struggle.
12:14Every year in March, a great religious festival takes place at Andhanpur Sahib, 200 kilometers east of Amritsar.
12:26The art of getka was initiated by Guru Hargobind to teach us to fight the enemy.
12:35These weapons were not designed to cause or suffer injustice.
12:40Their function is to protect the weak and poor people.
12:43Five different weapons are mentioned in the Gurbani, the holy scripture.
12:57One can find his weapons in all Sikh temples.
13:03Guru Hargobind has united strength and faith to create the concept of the Saint-Solgyr.
13:18Guru Hargobind has united strength and faith to create the concept of The Saint-Solgyr.
13:25A soldier can wield his sword and be unfair.
13:41A saint cannot wield with the sword.
13:45A saint soldier will follow the path of God
13:47and brandish his sword only to fight injustice.
13:51Do not sacrifice your hair.
13:56The cut amounts to uproot a Nishan Sahib, the Sikh flag.
14:00Understand the importance of this.
14:03Many sacrifice their lives to not cut their hair.
14:07My humble request to all Sikhs is to be baptized,
14:11to follow the path of our father, Guru Gobind Singh Ji.
14:21Thank you for having me.

17:16Punjab is a rich agricultural land, fertile land this is, the granary of India.
17:46More than a sport, kushti is above all a way of life from a tradition of centuries.
18:01The wrestlers are subjected to extremely strict rules.
18:05They practice the kushti almost every day of the year, even in summer, when the temperature
18:11can reach 45 degrees Celsius.
18:14They observe a special diet, mainly consisting of almonds, milk, ghee, or clarified butter,
18:22and shabatis, the traditional bread.
18:32The wrestlers are supposed to abstain from sex because it seems that sex empties the body
18:38of its male hormones, which are essential to the combat.
18:42The young touch the feet of the elders.
18:46These are signs of respect and encouragement.
18:48Each of these techniques have a specific purpose to the different muscular developments of the athlete.
19:09The wrestlers who practice kushti come from different backgrounds.
19:22Some are messengers, other boatmen, dairy, electricians, priests, and students.
19:28They are all welcome.
19:32The fight develops strength, and in India, force is a cultural value that implies a duty, dedication,
19:40and moral impeccability.
19:42It manifests itself more in the eyes that sparkle than in its arms.
19:58The kabaddi is a team sport, probably the favorite sport of Indians after cricket.
20:25It is also very popular in Pakistan and Bangladesh, where it's the national sport, as well as,
20:33to a lesser extent, in many Asian countries, such as Japan and Thailand.
20:39Its name is often chanted during games, and comes from a Hindi word meaning hold his breath,
20:46significant actions to position itself.
20:48In 1936, it was a field demonstration at the Olympic Games in Berlin.

21:53One of our viewers, how many of us were here did,
22:32The kabadhi is practiced in the villages of Punjab.
22:56The Punjab has seen many battles, a lot of attackers who invaded villagers.
23:09Our ancestors used the kabadhi to defend themselves and to keep fit and extend it to all men.
23:17There are 12 players per team, three or four attackers, four to five defenders, and two substitutes.
23:35The pitch is divided into two circles.
23:45The radius is approximately 20 feet.
23:50The team that wins the toss sends a striker in the other half of the field muttering, kabadhi, kabadhi, in one breath.
24:02His goal is to reach one or more opposing players and return to his half without losing his breath in 30 seconds.
24:10Those affected by the attacker are eliminated.
24:17The goal of the opposing team is to contain the attacker and prevent them from returning to his side until he takes another breath.
24:25Each team, in turn, sends a player in the opposing half.
24:35If a player goes out of bounds or touches the ground out of bounds, he is eliminated, except in cases of fighting.
24:42The game is composed of half-time of 20 minutes, with a five-minute break.
25:01Every 10 minutes, the players have the right to a dead time of 30 seconds to get a drink of water.
25:07In kabadhi, players must be quick, strong, and strategic.
25:28There are several categories in the schools.
25:31Under 14, under 17, and after that, the national level.
25:37The captain is also on the right to ało.

26:05In India, the railway is the mode of transport for long distances.
26:28It is provided by the public company of Indian railways throughout the country.
26:35The network across the country and down extends over 63,140 kilometers of lines.
26:48This is one of the biggest and most crowded railway networks in the world, carrying more
26:53than 5 billion passengers and 350 million tons of cargo per year.
27:02This network covers the 28 states and 3 of the 7 territories in the country, and is connected
27:09to the networks of Nepal, Bangladesh and Pakistan.
27:17The railroad appeared in 1853 in India, and in 1947, the year of independence, there were
27:24no less than 42 networks.
27:28These networks were nationalized and merged in 1951 to become one of the largest networks
27:34in the world.
27:37Taking the train in India is an experience.
27:40The total length of track used by Indian railways is about 108,706 kilometers.
27:48There are no other networks in the world, and the most dangerous networks.

29:17The channels are designed for speeds ranging from 75 to 160 km per hour.
29:33If the process evolves, so does the comfort.
29:36Air-conditioned cars or food served on board are part of these developments.
29:42Recently, an Indian even had the idea of creating a meal service on board through the internet
29:48to improve the service.
29:51Relying on a network of 230 partner restaurants, the web platform allows 8 billion annual passengers
29:59to make the dish of their choice at their seat or at station stops.

30:50in Delhi.
30:51It is listed since 2007 on the list of World Heritage.
30:56The fort is also the site from which the Prime Minister of India addresses the nation every
31:01August the 15th.
31:03August the 15th is the day when India gained independence in 1947.
31:09The fort is named after the sandstone rock used for its construction.
31:14The Red Fort stands on the east side of Delhi.
31:17The wall is nearly 2.5 kilometers long and is between 16 meters high on the side of the river
31:24and 33 meters high on the side of the city.
31:27The building is huge.
31:33Delhi has grown into a cosmopolitan city due to the massive immigration of people across the country.
31:39Of course, the urbanization problems such as traffic jams and a lack of resources is apparent.
31:46But it is a city of movement, a city that is often the subject of shooting of films, a city that awakens curiosity.

34:30Krav Maga is one of the sports that Indian agrees to hear as the society evolved, it
34:56no longer seeks to resemble the past.
34:59It looks to the future, but does not forget its roots.
35:02This demonstrates an openness on their part, and the desire to share this development to
35:07the greater number.
35:08India has never been a violent country, or even advocate violence.
35:13For many long years, India has exported its spirituality like yoga, and today, it is seeking
35:20to import.
35:32The Krav Maga India team was created by Vicky Kapoor to raise awareness on this highly efficient
35:38system of learning and self-defense training, as well as combat.
35:46It aims not only to allow the application of the law, but to allow the army to become more
35:52efficient and also help civilians adapt and be trained to protect themselves.
36:05It was also established for an important task.
36:08The need for training of new teachers, government agencies, and special operations teams around
36:13the world, and those in all aspects of the field – civilian, military, law enforcement,
36:20equipment, VIP protection, air marshals, and many more.
36:33The training – as in all sports – is very important for Krav Maga, and it is intensive
36:38and requires the practitioner to have a mind of steel.
36:42Whether you are a man or a woman, the evolution of the Indian mindset allows today for everyone
36:48to discover the Krav Maga and test their physical abilities against those different workouts which
36:54are usually done in India.
36:56I am Vicky Kapoor and I am heading Krav Maga in South-East Asia and I have put around 39 plus
37:13years in martial arts.
37:15It is common people from all walks of life – they are business people, they are corporate
37:22people, college students, home makers if you are talking about women.
37:29So everybody from different walks of life and plus news helps a lot.
37:35The moment that some news comes, people start dying.
37:37As an Indian society, we are not aggressive by nature, we are peace-loving and very passive
37:54people, so it is a very aggressive system which is, I can say, the best on the street
38:03against any attack, it is not based on the strength, it is based on the tactics and very scientifically
38:10designed to work under stress.
38:33Krav Maga in India is ten years, it was initially five, six years, very, very tough.
38:54Even people to pronounce the word Krav Maga was a big difficulty because they said, oh, what
39:00this new thing is.
39:02Even my colleagues from karate, when I told them, oh, this is this, you must come and train,
39:07they said, oh, you as usual are mad, so you are bringing something new shit, so we are not
39:12in there.
39:13Once they came, few of them to join the sessions with us, with my Israeli counterparts also,
39:19they realized, oh, it is very, very practical.
39:22It is not like kathas doing in the air, without thinking imaginary opponent, you are not doing
39:28anything else.
39:29Then they realized it is a problem solution, you have the application of every problem in
39:35different problems, which they never trained twenty, twenty years in the different systems.
39:41So, lot of professional, when I am saying professional from the martial arts field, are also coming
39:47to join our professional courses to become teachers.
39:50That is one good point.
39:52Now we have around eighteen branches in India, and it is growing day by day.
39:57We are getting inquiries to do professional courses from the rural India.
40:03So, that is a good sign of popularity of Raman.
40:08I will say, keep it real.
40:11Don't think of superficial, imaginary Chinese, no do.
40:16Okay, okay.
40:28Five.
40:29Ten years.
40:30That is a good manner,
40:31that is a good manner.
40:32That is a good manner.
40:33What number is?
40:34I am trying to do, it is a good manner.
40:35Opa.
40:36Dromabaas.
40:37Go Dromabaas.
40:38Go Dromabaas.
40:39I am trying to do.
40:48One great man.
40:50That means you do better.
40:52You are listening to the shift.
40:55You are listening to the music.
40:56I have a great man.
40:57I'm dressing and I'm prepared for me
41:00I'm going to smash your pieces
41:02I'm going to beat my voice
41:27I'm going to beat my voice
41:57I'm going to beat my voice
42:27I'm going to beat my voice
42:57I'm going to beat my voice
43:27I'm going to beat my voice
43:57I'm going to beat my voice
44:27Despite the evolution of Indian society and its new openness
44:41Krav Maga was not so easy to set up in India
44:45Today it is not uncommon to see more and more women learn this art
44:50Okay, so I've always been doing martial arts since I was 34 years old
45:01And my dad actually read about Krav Maga in the newspaper
45:04And he thought that this was something very unique
45:06Because once I came here I realized it's practical from day one
45:10The first thing they teach you is defense against the most common attack on the street
45:14So that's, I mean it's just extremely very very practical
45:17And I've been doing this for about 3 and a half 4 years now
45:20And I've realized that it's always based, every single technique is based on your natural instinct
45:27It's just to enhance it further
45:29So that's the reason why I continued
45:31So I guess I started because I've always doing martial arts
45:34And you know my dad got into it
45:36But I've continued because it's really practical
45:38And it's actually useful
45:40So a lot of times when I go to work
45:42I go with like bruises on my hands
45:44So they think that I'm a little crazy
45:46But well I got some of them to come here for a Sunday class
45:50Which is a free women's class
45:51And I'm actually the instructor there
45:53And from 11 to 12 we have it
45:56So I brought some of them here
45:57And then they realized that it's actually, actually very good
46:00So I don't think you realize what it is
46:01Unless you actually come and do it
46:03So they appreciate it
46:04So I think martial arts have always been there in India
46:09But awareness wasn't there
46:11And also you know the society that women aren't so outgoing in general
46:16But now I do think people have
46:18You know women have started stepping out
46:19Especially due to the sad cases that happened in Delhi
46:23We saw a lot of more people coming here
46:26But sadly it's all frizzled out
46:28The news went out of the media
46:30And people have stopped coming and trying to learn
46:32So I just think it's more about like
46:35It's your responsibility to know it
46:37So it's sad that they only came around that time
46:39To really learn martial arts or you know self-defense
46:42And it's just people need to be more deadly learned
46:46So even though modern India people are more open to it
46:49They need to become more regular
46:50It's a responsibility, not a choice
46:52Protect yourself
46:53Two words
46:54So that's all
46:56In New Delhi, nearly 70,000 Indian women are enrolled in self-defense programs
47:07Since 2002, including Krav Maga
47:10Generally they are organized by private institutions
47:13Or provided by public bodies
47:15Including the police brigade in New Delhi
47:18Violence against women

47:46Halfway between tradition and modern India, it is an imposing eclectic universe and its
47:56colorful world mixing genres and customs.
48:00The Kabaddi is a good example of this mixture.
48:03The sport that has become over time in Asia is represented today at the Asian Games.
48:10The Khushti evolved over the years while maintaining its heritage.
48:14Today, India is a country that is constantly evolving and that makes us understand that
48:20we must continue to adapt with it.
48:44The Khushti evolved over time in Asia.
