THE GAME OF CHASE
KHO KHO an ancient game of undivided INDIA, probably was derived from the different strategy and tactics of “Kurukshetra” war in Mahabharatha. 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.
KHO KHO based on natural principles of physical development, fosters a healthy combative spirit of term understanding.
In the year 1936, during the event of BERLIN OLYMPICS, one kho kho Team from Pune (India) exhibited the salient features of the game of Kho Kho at Berlin. Which was highly appriciated by “Hitler”.
