Rugby originated in the United Kingdom, its former name was rugby football. It was shorted for rugby. For its shape liked an olive, we called it "football" in China. Rugby was actually a city in the central England. The rugby school was the birthplace of rugby football. There was a stone tablet in the school, which read" Commemorating the brave action of W. W. Ellis". They said that once in a football match, Ellis, was running with the ball in his arms in a moment of emergency, which was regarded as a mistake in 1823. But it caused the other players to follow. Although this was a foul, it provided people with a new revelation. In Britain and the commonwealth regions, Football attracted the interests of people who liked doing sports all over the world. As time passed, it was gradually recognized by others. Thereupon, a new sport, which derived from the football, could not only benefit your body's all-around development, but also with high value of exercise.
Rugby gradually developed at Cambridge University after 1839 and established the rugby football club one after another. The intercollegiate games also became very active. UK set up the Football Association in 1871, soon this sport spread quickly to European countries, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The International Football Association set up. The International Football game was held in France in 1906.

When the British football transmitted to other countries, it changed constantly. Different forms of rugby also created by many other countries, like the United States, Canada and Australia. But the venue, equipment, rules, clothing, participate numbers and the ball's size, as well as the competition methods were all different. It could be, roughly, sorted into two kinds; British Football (also called soft football) and American football (also called the hard football). They gained amusing nicknames on account of the various styles and play methods. British Football was called "A gentleman plays the savage sport".
Rugby was called the powerfully football, for the reason that the players didn't wear guards in a competition. American football was faintly smaller than rugby, so it was painless to do well the ball.
Needing the team spirit of tenaciously strives to succeed, rugby was helpful to military training, and especially in physical stamina guidance. Therefore, this sport was greatly extended in the army with its popularity. For this reason, rugby won the "ball of army" reputation in western countries.

Rugby has been criticized as an exercise of violence. By contrast, rugby has more intense collision than other sports, such as basketball, soccer and the popular sports in the United States. Grapping-rugby is banned in many American campuses, so it has been changed into the style of touch the ball with hands. Most PE classes all use the type of hands-touch. But after school, they can play the grapping method under the circumstances of equipment and guidance. In addition, the intense body collision and high risk would put pressure on women, so it is unable to attract women. Women always have high risk in competitions because of the insufficiency of muscles and weights. It provides the strong and quick players with more opportunities while grip and intercept the ball. The various factors we discussed above has risen disputes and has made rugby as an violence movement with dodge ball, wresting, hockey and boxing over the past decades.
