Our Basic Visions

Kalaripayattu (Kalari abhyasam) is a martial art that is formed by the ancient Gurus and completely based on the human anatomy and The Nature. A trainee can utilize five physical senses in its extreme and hence can achieve attention, speed, accuracy, strength, co-ordination, flexibility, memory power, concentration, peer respect, health, immunity etc. Martial arts specialists have found that Kalari techniques are useful for mental and spiritual growth. Kalari training is helpful for attaining energy and rejuvenation of internal and external parts of the body.

In kalaripayattu, the importance is for defending techniques rather than attacking. To gain expertise in Kalari, one must have concentration, good understanding, and the ability to perform action with skill.

All other existing martial arts give importance to defense, and offence and say that attacking enemies is the best technique to protect from harm. However, the ancient martial art of India, Kalaripayattu says to save enemies. For example, if an enemy attacks us with or without weapon, our body may get hurt and/or it may cause to death. It makes him/her a criminal and prisoner. On the other hand, a good Kalari practitioner discourages such attacks by self defense and hence protects the life of his enemy. Thus we say that Kalari is for saving, not for punishing our enemies.

Practicing Kalari under the careful observation of the master (Aashan) helps the disciples to be more affectionate to life. They bring in an order in their daily activities that results a healthy and happy life.

This is the only martial art being practiced in the traditional Gurukula system nowadays. Traditional self defense techniques, steps, and the rhythmic body movements of Kalari strengthen the hands and legs of the practitioner and he obtains the knowledge about the body that leads to self awareness and achieve peace.
