Die Große Halle

So… I randomly watched a kabaddi match on YouTube last night and I’m still confused, but also kinda obsessed I mean, it's like tag, wrestling, and strategy all in one. Why are we not talking about this more? Is this a thing people are actually into or am I just super late to the party? If anyone’s clueless like I was, this explains it pretty well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kabaddi

Bro you’re definitely not alone — kabaddi is insane once you understand what’s going on. I got hooked during the 2022 Asian Games. The whole “chant your breath while raiding” rule? That blew my mind It’s massive in India and a few other countries, but still super underrated in the West. The Pro Kabaddi League is basically their version of the NBA lol.

Yup, kabaddi’s been slowly gaining traction. I started following it last year after a friend introduced me to it. What surprised me is how tactical it is — not just brute strength. The raiders actually study defenders and vice versa.

Appreciate the link @AliMasel — that site looks clean. Honestly, it’s kinda wild how polished the league is. I thought it was just some rural sport until I saw the stadium intros and replays Any tips on how to watch matches live? Most YouTube ones are delayed or region locked.

Yeah, live matches can be tricky outside India. I usually check this stream hub when I’m looking for a kabaddi match today — it’s been surprisingly stable, even on mobile. Not official, I think, but the quality’s good and I haven’t had issues with it yet.

That site’s actually decent, I’ve used it a few times too when I missed the TV broadcast. Better than half the dodgy streaming sites floating around Also, Tyler — if you want to pick a team to follow, Jaipur Pink Panthers are solid. Their raider Arjun is next level.

Noted I’ll give Jaipur a shot. Can’t believe I’ve been sleeping on this sport for so long. Gonna watch a full match tonight and see if I can convert my flatmates.

Do it! First it’s one match… next thing you know, you’re shouting “kabaddi!” at your dog by accident
Let us know what you think after the game!
