THE GAME OF CHASE
The game of KHO KHO is based on natural principles of physical development & developing all motor abilities of a person/player. It is vigorous and fosters a healthy combative spirit among youth. It’s not merely running with speed but to chasing with a natural instinct to overtake, pursue, catch and kill as done in an ancient time when men tried to kill animals with a hard chase & running skills. No doubt, speed is the heart of the game and to stand to a relentless pursuit of 9 minutes at a stretch (Turn), the heart demands stoutness and stamina. In turn, a physically fit youth enjoys it and the spectators who watch enjoy a thrilling sport to their satisfaction.

The chariot fight during the war and zigzag pathways followed by the retreating soldiers indicate the information of Chain Play – Defense skill in the game of KHO KHO.
On the 13th day of the war, the chief of kaurav army, Guru Dronacharya drew a typical strategic formation – CHAKRAVYUH (circular formation) keeping Jayadratha at the main entrance with seven soldiers to draw in and kill the enemy. Veer Abinmanyu, the son of Arjuna, entered into the trap but could not get his way out and in the process got killed. He fought gallantly alone against seven soldiers. The method adopted by Abhimanyu resembles the idea of “Ring Play” – a defense tactics in KHO KHO game.
