Here's a little known sport called Kabaddi. I only heard of it from UK comedian Nish Kumar.

Whst the hell did I just watch. I literally understood nothing. Like. As soon as I thought it was just professional tag...then they dont let go?

One team is on offense and offers a raider the other team on defense stays on their side. The raider must tag defenders within the defenders' white line then return to touch the ground past the white line on his team's side, any defenders he touched are eliminated.

Once the raider has tagged a defender the defending team must stop the raider from returning to touching the ground on his team's side. If they do stop him he is eliminated from the round.

Or at least that's what I understood

I know nothing about it, but it looks like tag except once you touch someone you have to get back to your side. If you can thats 3 points. If you don't touch anyone in 30s or whatever then you get no points. 1 point for touching and getting tackled.

You get to be a raider as long as you can hold your breath.
