Question

Describe some fundamental skills of Kho-Kho.

Answer 1

Kho-Kho skills help the chasing team pursue runners effectively and help runners evade being touched.

1. Giving Kho: A chaser transfers the chase to a seated teammate by touching them and calling “Kho.” The main types are simple Kho, beginners Kho and late Kho.
2. Chasing: Chasers use left-hand or right-hand chase, selecting the approach that best suits their position and direction of pursuit.
3. Sitting and getting up: Chasers use the bullet/bunch or parallel sitting method, and rise using the monkey style or combined style.
4. Making a chain: Chasers form a single chain, double chain or ring to support coordinated chasing.
5. Dodging: Runners change direction or use deceptive movements to avoid being touched.
6. Diving: A runner or chaser may use a straight (front) dive or sideward dive to reach or evade a target quickly.
