What is Kick (back kick, side kick) in Kabaddi?

Raiding skills in which the raider strikes a touch on a defender with the foot — a back kick flicked at a defender creeping in from behind, or a side kick lashed sideways along the baulk line. Kicks let the raider score off defenders who stay outside hand range.

Example: Sensing the corner sneaking up behind him, he scored with a blind back kick.
