Khabaddi also requires you to continuously chant 'khabaddi' while in the opponent's half of the court, thus proving your control of the inner wind (it was shown regularly on UK TV a couple of years ago, wish they'd bring it back).

Also about the only sport from the Indian sub-continent I personally know where the women compete in the same sport (but NOT actually against) the men.
