The story of Kabaddi in Kota

Kabaddi carries deep roots in Rajasthan's soil, and Kota is no exception. Long before organised leagues, the sport thrived in akharas and village grounds, where raw strength and technique were celebrated in fiercely contested bouts.

The professional Pro Kabaddi era rekindled mainstream interest, and Kota's youngsters took notice. School and district tournaments now run regularly, selection trials feed state squads, and traditional coaches pass on the finer points of the raid and the tackle. It remains one of the most accessible and affordable sports in the region — all you need is a patch of soft ground and a team.
