Kabaddi 101: Tag, Tackle, Triumph (March 2025)

Part wrestling, part tag, part martial arts, and all breath control. In this episode, Kavitha dives into the world of kabaddi, the high-octane South Asian sport that's quietly going global.

You'll meet fearless raiders, strategic defenders, and women breaking barriers through the sport. With teams from India, Pakistan, Iran, Bangladesh and beyond gearing up for the Asian Games this fall — and Europe's biggest kabaddi league launching this summer — there's never been a better time to learn why this game is more than a sport. It's a movement.
