Cock fighting,. is a favourite sport of people living in the coastal region of Andhra Pradesh,
Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts of Tulu Nadu region of Karnataka,
and the state of Tamil nadu India. In Tamil Nadu, the winner is decided after three or four rounds.
People watch with intense interest surrounding the cocks. The sport has gradually become a gambling sport.
In Tamil Nadu, Chennai, Tanjore, Trichy and Salem Districts,
only naked heel sport is performed. In Erode, Thiruppur, Karur
and Coimbatore districts only bloody blade fights are conducted.
During festival seasons, this is the major game for men.
Women normally don't participate.
It is referred to as the favourite pastime for Maravars or the warriors of Tamil Country.
It is acknowledged as one of the 64 "arts" widely spoken
by the scholars and mastered by the ancestors/scholars of this part of the world.
In earlier days they were fighting with the jungle fowl and its variants later,
due to the naval expeditions to Java and Malay by the Pandian Rulers
the local poultry of that land might have found its way to Tamil Nadu and a new strain/breed
started its development in here which later spread to many places such as India.
The newer breeds which are known now are The "Reja"
(There are many rare breeds preserved by these cock fighters)
The sport has gradually become a gambling sport.
