Slap kabaddi explained

Slap kabaddi or thappad kabaddi is a Pakistani variant of kabaddi which is particularly popular in Punjab.^[1] Two players aim to slap each other, scoring one point for each slap landed on the opponent (above the waist);^[2] the winner is the one who scores the most points, or who can force his opponent to forfeit the match.^{[3] [4]}

Punches are not allowed, though players can slam into each other.^{[5] [6]} There is no time limit or limit to the number of slaps that can be executed, though causing injury to the opponent results in disqualification in some matches.^[7]
