DEFENCE SKILLS

In a prior section we have talked about the challenge in the middle of chasers and protectors in the round of khokho. We have seen decides that compel chasers, viz. standards of headings, prerequisites of perfect kho, and so forth. Another essential tenet precludes chaser to cross the focal path. The round of resistance is principally intended to exploit these ties of the guidelines to chasers. A straightforward rationale of safeguards is 'be dependably in the inverse court to the one that the assailant involves'. Subsequent to the assailant can not cross the focal path, he is compelled to go round the post to get a protector or give a kho to a sitting chaser confronting inverse court to the one aggressor has a place.

The second general guideline is that 'avoid an assailant'. In the event that the diversion happens to be in the focal part of the ground, the second alternative of giving kho is suitable for an assailant. On execution of such a kho, the aggressor and the safeguard come in the same court for a brief timeframe. According to the rules expressed over, a protector changes the court and runs towards a post in picked bearing. The aggressor responds by giving a kho to a suitable sitting chaser etc. In this way the diversion proceeds. A couple of helpful ways and areas of changing the court and shaping courses towards the shaft have risen up out of the experience, perceptions and considering khokho players over a time of a very long while which have now gained a status of a custom. The reasoning behind these demonstrations and its suitability is clarified underneath.

At the point when an assailant and protector happen to be in the same court, the safeguard changes the court. A tip for changing the court is that the safeguard ought to cross the focal path from behind the sitting chaser so that if the concerned sitting chaser gets a kho, the guard will get himself far from another assailant by a separation between the two successive cross paths. Then again, if a protector crosses the focal path from the front side of sitting chaser; he will wind up before or close to the ensuing sitting chaser who is suitably situated to get the following kho. Such vicinity might make the shield to surrender a point to the pursuing group. The accompanying picture makes the thought clear.
