Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or kickboxing would be more practical martial arts for general self defence. You may not always have a sword and shield on hand 🤷🏻‍♂️ Edit: I understand that Kalari has a no-weapon form to it where hand-to-hand combat is incorporated. I also understand that Mixed Martial Arts is a sport that has become increasingly popular since the early 90s, and that the most effective martial arts have, by default, been highlighted by some of the most prolific fighting athletes of our generation. None of them have used Kalari. It wasn't an attack on Kalari as a martial art, but merely an observation to try and help people who may want to learn THE MOST EFFECTIVE forms of self defence.

Dude, actually, Kalari was the first martial arts. Chinese Shaolin Kung Fu is derived from Kalari. But like all true Asian martial arts, it treats self defense as a life and death situation. Western martial arts treat self defense as a game or sport. Like UFC doesn’t allow trapping.

You are right in saying that it was banned. It was learned primarily for defence. I have studied it briefly, my master said “ God will protect you from the first blow, check if it’s your friend or foe, if a friend reason with them, if a foe run, in spite of avoiding combat if the opponent still engages you , only defend yourself, attack if your life or limb is threatened.” So discipline of the body and mind was the primary intent and defense” Killing is never the intent. There are enough techniques to disable the opponent without killing.

Many people commented why there are no kalaris outside kerala and wished if they could learn kalari payattu. Some points to note here: -in erstwhile Kerala, we had many smaller princely states. A kalari guru would have his kalari near or as part of his house, where soldiers train under him and his best warriors. They were most often supported by the state rulers. When there were disputes or fights between the states the rulers would pick their best kalari, to send their best warriors (Chekavas)for a duel (ankam). These were often public events, where they fought till one side was eliminated (killed). In this sense kalari payattu is never an art, nor was its objective mere self defence. - So its not accurate to refer to kalaris and kalari payattu as a martial 'art', the way you say kung-fu or judo is a martial art. Payattu is not same as saying kungfu - payattu is the training you undergo in the kalari to become a warrior. These warriors were called Chekavas (literally warriors / soldiers). They would fight in 'ankams' (duels) for their country, and to settle disputes. -kalari payattu techniques have always (even to this day) been passed down through the guru shishya parampara (scheme of education). It takes very high level of dedication and regular training, strict diet etc starting from very young age to become a well trained warrior. Its not at all like getting a 'belt' after spending your summer vacation at local karate school ( no disrespect, I am just saying Kalari Payattu was never commercialized and sold all over like other Asian martial arts). This and its use of lethal weapons once you have trained above the basics is probably the reason it stayed near its place of origin. -for those who are getting goosebumps seeing this video, I recommend reading the Ballads of Northern Malabar, which are songs on famous Chekavas passed down by word of mouth.

basically, how the tradition of Samurai was in Japan, they were all warriors and practiced fighting skills and not some self-defense art.

MGR is a Malayali actually. Who later lived in Tamilnadu. May be that's why he introduced Kerala's martial art Kalaripayattu in his Tamil movies. I never saw his films so i was not aware of it.

The problem with kalari is that it became a show sports rather than a martial art. There are no body blows when you practice.

This is absolutely amazing. My karate practice is so mild compared to this, even though it's the hardest form (kyokushin)

so my granfather was from kerala and my grandmother from TN, So my grandfather learned alot of kalaripayattu forms for many years because it was a tradition for his family. He was more into hand to hand combat. This really helped him to get into air force and still practice all the exercises today. Unfortunately i didn't get into the martial art form but i hope 1 day If i got the oppourtunity, i won't miss it out to start learning this discipline.

In Nov 2019, I enrolled for Muay Thai training near my house but after the lockdowns started, our master had to leave because he was unable to pay the emis and rent.

In fact everything that is related with ancient Indian civilization or so called Vedic Civilization beyond advanced if you will look in to it. When the rest of the world were living inside a cave, there was university in Harappa which was part of Indus valley civilization. They were excellent in infrastructure, astronomy, astrology, medicine, art, dance, music and spirutuality. There are temples in India standing tall even today which cannot be built with out the help of some kind of software to design them because of the accuracy at which they are built. There are temples inside which the distance between sun and earth is engraved as we know it today. There is temple of sounds where Symantecs of sounds is engraved on the roof. There is evidence of rock melting tech which we don't even have today. Luckily all of this information is written in 'Sanskrit' oldest language on earth which is a language that cannot change with time. Its so intricate like a programming language that no changes can be made to it. This language is taught in Canadian university to students of Computer science to improve their programming skills.

It's also called Dand Patta. This used to be one of the go to weapon for Maratha soldiers. In case they get get surrounded by numerical superior enemy troops, just one precise strike will be enough to inflict maximum damages. A person standing near the striking range of this weapon can even lose limbs. Best example was the Battle of Pawankhind, where Narvir Bajiprabhu Deshpande used this weapon with supreme precision. Very few people know that the weapon manufacturers of Western Ghats were too good, in terms of building weapons for hand to hand combat, be it the whiplash swords, Waghanaqa or perfecting the European swords as per Indian standards.

Bodhidharman was taught martial arts by Prajnatara who himself was a Brahmin patriarch of Indian Buddhism according to Chan Buddhism and the head of the Sarvastivada sect of early Buddhist schools which got popular during Ashoka reign, he was from eastern India who went southern part to India to distribute the knowledge.

for example, kalari have open palm strike style . it's different from closed fist ring fight martial arts like boxing , mma... even modern street fights for prize money has closed fists. so you will not see a practisioner striking an suspended bag in kalari but instead you will see technique for attacking vital parts like eyes , weak/back neck part of head , hand to hand blocking etc . speed is the most important part . in boxing you need 'form' and speed coz 'form' generates power . in kalari 'form' is replaced by ' translational speed ' . in case you could pick and hide small stone from surrounding, you don't need anymore power - all you need is the speed to touch opponents. hence all excersises are made to enhance this speed . this also means kalari can never be domesticated. there's a section of people who want to convert kalari into an competition form . but competition forms can never impart permanent damage - for example poking eyes are banned . attacking eyes are one off the premiere technique in kalari .you take it away its not kalaripayattu. so kalari will never be popular ,hope it need not be popular . kalari will always remain amoung few practisioners , military and as an deadly fight style.

There is much more to kalaripayattu than we see and taught in gurukuls, I'm an expert in military combat and I once fought a Guru who was a master of kalaripayattu, even without a weapon i couldn't touch him all my attacks touched him but it was like my body was working according to his mind. My instructor always told me never to fight a kalaripayattu student who has completed his Gurukul cuz i won't be able to beat him the only way i can win is by outnumbering him. And i went for the master, then I knew that even the top military combat made for killing is nothing in front of kalaripayattu.

We have the same form of martial art in Sri Lanka called "Angampora". It said to have dated back to Ravana times. There were two main schools in Sri Lanka teaching Angampora called "Sudaliya & Maru walliya" from 16th to 19th century. It looks identical to what I see here. It's the same story that, British banned it, realizing how dangerous it could be for their control in Sri Lanka. British reportedly shot & killed all Angampora warriors at sight & confiscated their family assets. Few families secretly kept the tradition going but much of the knowledge of the art is lost now. There were records that there was a connection between Sri Lanka & Kerala in this martial arts. In 18th century, one of the Sri Lankan girls went to Kerala after her father was defeated (killed) in a fight using unethical practice. She mastered the art in Kerala, came to Sri Lanka disguising as a man & defeated her father's killer. After exposing who she was, king has appointed her as a provincial governor (disapathi) & she has been the one & only lady provincial governor in Sri Lanka till recent.

Kalaripattu is invented by god parshuram

War & fighting skills are also Central for protection of Dharma 🚩🚩🚩

One thing to be added here is that, Kalari was used in ancient times even to settle matters between two kingdoms. Something like Achilles vs that big dude in movie Troy, where kings watched while the nominated best warriors fought to death. The do not have to be from that king's army rather like hired kills. So a master always keeps one strategy or technique to himself while teaching his disciples, so that he can win in case he has to fight againt his own disciple in future. When such a disciple becomes master, he too will keep one strategy to himself and teach only remaining to his students. Hence you can imagine the depth of knowledge lost over 3000 years and generations of masters.

दुनिया सबसे पहली युद्ध कला है मुझे गर्व है कि में भारत जैसे महान देश में पैदा हुआ 🙏 जय श्री परशुराम 🙏🚩 जय हिन्द 🇮🇳🙏 में इस कला को अवश्य सीखूंगा

This is truely and ancient Indigenous flowing martial arts! Incredible!🥇✅

They knew all about weak spots and could paralyze you with one jab... these were taught at the final stages of a student since it was most dangerous teaching.... there was also the snake sword or flexible sword which was used to kill 7 persons in a single strike and someone actually did it I don't remember exactly but I read it somewhere .. bodhidharma introduced a specific style to Chinese kung fu.... I think the animal forms in kung fu later came from kalari

Thanks bbc ,even me as an Indian did not know this. .

The person that comes to my mind whenever I hear Kalaripayattu Is UNNIYARCHA!
