Asil in India are of two types mostly , Naked heels and knife fighters .They were bred and named according to their breeders requirements like fighting style and colours . For example in southern India our part of place people had two types basically . They are naked heels and knife fighters . Naked heels are birds bred to fight with stamina and pain tolerance .Cause they fight 's basic rule is fight for four rounds of 15 mins ( 1 hour ) . Naked heels means birds fight without any weapons artificial spurs tied to their rear legs . Knife fighters are birds bred to fight very fast and knife tied to the bird 's rear leg .They fight hardly lasts 10 to 15 mins . In this criteria people breeding for knife fighting tend to breed birds which are very fast and with good balance for aerobatics . In knife fighters people bred birds three types ( salem longtails , pollachi long tails and parrot beaks ) . These birds are definitely for show purpose ( just to decorate your lane actually ) , but if you doubt the will fight or not , the answer is yes they will definitely cause their ancestors fighters .

Kulang Asil
Height: Up to 75 cms tall. Weight: 5 to 7 kg.
The large Asil are divided into sub-varieties : North Indian, South Indian and Madras type. The North and South Indian varieties don't differ much. Only type of comb, shape of the beak and body shape are different. For example : Northern type = slender, Southern type = heavier build. The Madras Asil however is significantly different. They have a lower station, are heavier build and stronger boned. These birds often come in a bluish colour. This variety is found in the deep south of India, the Tamil Nadu state.

Reza Asil
This group of Asil reached worldwide popularity due to books and articles written by gamefowl experts such as Herbert Atkinson, Siran and Paul Deraniyagala from Sri Lanka and Carlos Finsterbusch from Chile. The Reza Asil family according the old (Western) gamefowl literature is subdivided into following strains: (Amir) Ghan (Dark-Red), Sonatol(Light-Red), (Siyah) Rampur(Black), Kalkatiya (Kaptan)(Speckled-Reds) and Jawa(Duckwing). All these strains are identified by their specific color, these colors do not necessarily correspond with the area where the birds come from.
In colonial times other colors such as whites, spangles, golden etc. were regarded as inferior. At present day the "classic" strains and names given mentioned by Atkinson are more or less forgotten. The native people in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka only know the Reza-type Asil by their local names.
