卡巴迪源於印度，起初只是一種古老的民間遊戲，後來逐漸傳到南亞的巴基斯坦、斯里蘭卡、尼泊爾、緬甸等國，是一種狀似中國民間「老鷹抓小雞」遊戲的運動。1990年，卡巴迪即被列為11屆亞運會正式比賽項目。目前，這項運動已經發展到日本、新加坡、馬來西亞、泰國、印尼、韓國、中國、伊朗、尼泊爾及臺灣。臺灣卡巴迪運動未來展望，現階段主要分為三個時期：一、2011年至2013年：預計兩年內推展至全國各縣市體育會成立卡巴迪委員會，爭取卡巴迪運動成為2013年臺北市全國運動會正式比賽項目，並定期舉辦卡巴迪相關活動。二、2014年至2015年：（一）爭取卡巴迪運動進入104年桃園全國運動會正式比賽項目；（二）以派隊參加2014年韓國仁川亞運會為目標，並為臺灣獲得獎牌。
