In kabaddi, the "toe touch" is a raiding technique used by a raider to score points by touching an opponent with their toe while on a raid. It involves swiftly touching an opponent's body with the toes while maintaining balance and avoiding being caught by defenders. Successfully executing a toe touch allows the raider to score a point for their team.
Here are the basic steps to perform a toe touch in kabaddi:
1. Approach and Speed: The raider enters the opponent's court (lobby) with speed and agility, aiming to identify an opponent to touch.
2. Selecting the Target: Identify a defender within reach to execute the toe touch. The raider needs to focus on a quick and precise touch using their toes.
3. Swift Movement: As the raider gets close to the opponent, perform a swift, controlled movement to touch the opponent with the toes of one foot. The touch needs to be clear and intentional.
4. Maintaining Balance: Balance is crucial while attempting a toe touch. The raider must avoid being tackled or held by the defender while executing the touch.
5. Retreating Safely: After executing the toe touch, quickly retreat to your side of the court to avoid being captured by the defenders.
6. Continuous Chanting: Throughout the raid, continuously chant "Kabaddi" without a break to indicate that the raid is legitimate and aimed at scoring a point.
7. Scoring the Point: Successfully touching an opponent with the toes and safely returning to the raider's side without being caught by the defenders results in a point for the raider's team.
The toe touch requires precision, speed, and agility from the raider to swiftly touch an opponent and safely return without being captured. It's important to practice this technique to improve agility, balance, and quick decision-making during a kabaddi match.
