styles traditionally played in the Punjab region.

Name
The term kabaddi may be derived from the Punjabi word kauddi (Punjabi: )
which is chanted to play kauddi or, it is derived from
"katta" (calf) (Punjabi) and kauddi (to
chopped) (Punjabi: )
which together has become kauddi.
Traditional Punjabi kabaddi styles

In lambi kauddi (Punjabi: لمبی کوڈی/ there
are 15 players with a circular pitch of 15–20 feet. There is no outer limit.
The players can run as far they can. There is no referee. The raider will say
"kauddi, kauddi" throughout the attack.
Saunchi kauddi
Saunchi kauddi (Punjabi: سانچی کوڈی/ (also
called Saunchi pakki/Punjabi: ਸੌਂਚੀ ਪੱਕੀ) can best be described as being similar to boxing. It is
popular in the Malwa area of Punjab. It is unlimited players with a circular
playing pitch. A bamboo with red cloth is dug into the ground which is paraded
by the winner.
In sauchi kabaddi, the raider will hit the defender
but only on the chest. The defender will then hold the raiders wrist. A foul is
declared if any other part of the body is grabbed. If the defender holds the
raiders wrist and restricts his movement, he will be declared the winner. If
the raider loses the grip of the defender, then the raider will be the winner.[3]

word kabaddi but just touches the opponent's team player and the whom he
touches only that player will try to stop the player. The struggle will
continue till he reaches the starting line or acknowledge the defeat and loses
a point, or if he safely reaches the starting line, he will get the point.

Punjab Circle style
History and development
Kabaddi is the regional sport of the Punjab region and
was referred to as Punjabi kabaddi in India and Pakistan. However,
with the formation of the states of Haryana and
Punjab in India, the same game
was referred to as Punjab kabaddi and Haryana kabaddi. This caused confusion
and therefore, in 1978, the Amateur Circle Kabaddi Federation of India was
formed and the syle of kabaddi played in the Punjab region was
named circle kabaddi.
Punjab circle kabaddi, also known as "diarey wali
kabaddi" (Punjabi: دیرے والی کبڈی/ incorporates
the kabaddi styles of the Punjab region.
Rules
In the Punjab region,
kabaddi is played on a circular] pitch
of a diameter of 22 meters and an inner circle with a line through the middle
of the pitch: the pitch is called kaudi da bharha. There are two
teams of 8 players; one on one raid; and no player leaves the field If 2
stoppers attack a player, a foul is declared. Punjab style kabaddi does
not require the raider saying "kabaddi, kabaddi" throughout the raid.[2] The
game lasts for 40 minutes with a change in sides after 20 minutesIn the Punjab
Circle Style form of Kabaddi, whenever any player is touched (out), he does not
go out of the court, but stays inside, and one point is awarded to the team
that touched him. This game is also played on a time basis, i.e. the time is 30
sec.
