What is Kalaripayattu
Kalaripayattu combines self-defence techniques, religion, and
has elements of ‘martial dance.’ The Kalaripayattu training aims
at something more at the ultimate co-ordination of mind and body. The weapon is only an extension of the body, controlled by the
mind and the use of these both in attack and defence attain a very high degree of perfection. The word ‘Kalaripayattu’ literally means 'martial training inside the gymnasium'. Kalari in common terms means school or training centre. |
