2. Chapteh

Capteh is a traditional game that requires great dexterity and balance in keeping a feathered shuttlecock in the air for as long as possible by kicking it up with the heel of the foot. A popular game among children in Singapore, it is also well-known internationally.



History

The earliest reference to a game of kicking a feathered object dates back to the 5th century BCE in China. Later known as ti jianzi (踢毽子), which means “kick little shuttlecock” in Chinese, the game was used to train military men. During the Tang dynasty, Shaolin monks in Henan were also known to have practised the game to strengthen their martial art skills. It was popular for about two millennia, from the Han dynasty (206 BCE–200 BCE) until after the Tang dynasty (618-907 CE). Since the Song dynasty (960 CE–1278 CE), the game has been known as jianzi (毽子) or jianqiu (毽球), as derived from the Chinese word for “arrow”, and which sounds the same as the word for “shuttlecock”.

2. When he misses, he stops playing and surrenders his turn to the next player, and waits for his turn to come again.
3. The next player starts kicking and counting until he misses.
4. The game continues until either all the players have completed an agreed number of turns, or one player has reached the targeted number of kicks.
5. The player who has the most number of kicks, or who reaches a hundred kicks first, wins.



3. Kabaddi

Kabaddi is fast, furious and physical, making for a great spectacle – a fact vindicated by the ever-rising global popularity of Pro Kabaddi, a franchise-based kabaddi league which started in India in 2014.


History

The origin of the game dates back to pre-historic times played in different forms. The modern Kabaddi game was played all over India and some parts of South Asia from 1930. The first known framework of the rules of Kabaddi as an indigenous sport of India was prepared in Maharashtra in the year 1921 for Kabaddi competitions on the pattern of Sanjeevani and Gemini in a combined form. Thereafter a committee was constituted in the year 1923, which amended the rules framed in 1921. The amended rules were applied during the All India Kabaddi Tournament organized in 1923.

Technique and rules

1. A kabaddi match starts with one team raiding the other team’s half.
2. During a raid, any one player from the attacking team, called the raider, enters the other team’s half while chanting the word kabaddi, also known as canting.
3. The objective of the raider is to tag or touch as many opposition players, called antis or defenders, as possible and return to their own half by crossing the mid line while continuing their cant under one breath.
4. The defenders, meanwhile, try to stop the raider from returning to his own half by tackling or pushing him out of the court.
5. Teams keep on taking turns to raid each other and the side with more points once time runs out wins a match.
