Slap kabaddi
Slap kabaddi or thappad kabaddi is a Pakistani variant of kabaddi which is particularly popular in Punjab.[1] Two players aim to slap each other, scoring one point for each slap landed on the opponent (above the waist);[2] the winner is the one who scores the most points, or who can force his opponent to forfeit the match.[3][4]
Punches are not allowed, though players can slam into each other.[5][6] There is no time limit or limit to the number of slaps that can be executed, though causing injury to the opponent results in disqualification in some matches.[7]
Names[edit]
Slap kabaddi is also known as chanta kabaddi or tamachedar kabaddi.[8][9]
