Mother of All Martial Arts, that is Kalari payattu, was born in My Kerala. Proud 💪🏻.

It's a Pride to born in India.... Proud Indian 🇮🇳

India is such a rich country, it has its own unique things in every field, our ancestors developed martial arts, carnatic, hindusatni music, yoga, advaitha philosophy, poertry, languages, kuchipudi, bharata natyam dance, food.. But todays generation going after foregin culture..

Maturity is understanding it's not mythology , it's history .

Супер. Индия это жемчужина в мире.

Proud that vidyut Jammwal is promoting this art of our India🙏🇮🇳

Indian fighting skills are Great In the world

Kerala....❤ Malayalee....💪🏻

Proud moments ❤️ for India ,Kerala ❤️🥰

Fantastic. We should transfer this knowledge to younger generations

It's a shame that a martial arts like this remains unknown to most probably of the world. I am a fan of MMA, boxing and UFC, a martial art like Muay Thai has gained so much global recognition as in it has become associated so much with kick boxing today, it has become one of the most popular martial arts in the world because Thailand where able to use it as a selling point to the world for tourism and economy. While the leaders in our state in Kerala are still asleep and leaving these ancient martial art form survive on its own. It's only surviving in parts of Kerala because of the conviction of gurus who teach this art form and keep it alive. Such a big part of the culture of Kerala is unknown because of the ignorance of its own people and govt.

I am from Kerala. My friends have know this Kalari payattu. this is a very dangerous and powerfull defence technique than Kung fu or any other martial arts

please preserve all ancient art and cultural heritage of India this is incredible form of martial art lots of love from maharashtra for our south indian brothers

India is just under estimated itself in all the way

हमें इन युद्ध कलाओं को सिखने की अत्यंत आवश्यकता है

Finally a documentary on kalarypayattu, I am very likely to know about it......

We Indian are protector , warriors, savers , and give lot of things to the world but our history was modified and destroyed .

Bodhidharma was born in Kanchi in the Southern Indian kingdom of Pallava(today’s Tamil Nadu State ) around year 440 AD. He learned Tamil martial arts and Dhyana Buddhism and became the 28th patriarch of that religion. In 527 AD, 32 years after Ba Tuo’s founding of the Shaolin temple, Bodhidharma crossed through Guangdong province into China. According to Chinese legend, he also began the physical training of the monks of Shaolin Monastery that led to the creation of Shaolin kungfu.

my father lower body was fully paralysed and best allopathy doctors including a doctor from us recommended surgery with less than 50% chances of able to walk. Just 14 days of kalari treatment he completely recovered and started walking alone.

I request to the govt. To bring it in the students educational curriculum

Jai Parashurama♥️🙏🕉️. Most Nair Temples in Kerala had a Kalari before. British banned it after colonization.

كلام والله ذا الفن

What you said about Parshuram is not Mythology it's our History. Kindly showcase it that way. And it's not said that Bodhidharman went to China and founded Kung fu, actually Bodhidharman actually went to China and taught Karalipayyatu to them which became kungfu, you can Google this fact.

I love this art I want to learn it ❤

Kalaripayattu is a comprehensive martial art that encompasses a wide range of techniques, including strikes, kicks, grappling, and weapon usage. The training is generally divided into four main stages: Meipayattu (body conditioning): This stage focuses on physical fitness, flexibility, and strength. Students learn basic stances, body movements, and coordination exercises, which form the foundation for more advanced techniques. Kolthari (wooden weapons training): Once the student has gained proficiency in basic body movements, they progress to learning how to use wooden weapons such as the kettukari (staff), cheruvadi (short stick), and otta (curved wooden weapon). Ankathari (metal weapons training): In this stage, students learn to use metal weapons like the urumi (flexible sword), katar (dagger), and mace. They also practice advanced combat techniques, including defense against multiple attackers. Verumkai (barehanded techniques): The final stage of Kalaripayattu training involves mastering unarmed combat techniques, including strikes, kicks, joint locks, and grappling. Kalaripayattu also emphasizes the importance of mental and spiritual development. Practitioners learn meditation, breathing exercises, and the knowledge of vital points (marmas) in the body, which can be targeted for healing or self-defense purposes. In conclusion, Kalaripayattu is an ancient and fascinating martial art with deep historical and cultural roots. While it may not be the mother of all martial arts, it is an important practice that has influenced and enriched the world of martial arts in its own right.

Kerala’s pride. Karalippayattu❤

Brilliant

India is Great 💪💪💪

Hamara bharat akhand bharat varsh 🚩🚩

This question came in my exam

Is Kalaripayattu the mother of all martial arts??? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g76YaJiAt9XUqps.html

Kalaripayattu 💪

Parsu fekna par jo bhumi prakat Hui thi woh Puri coastal area tha Maharastra se Kerala Tak jisme Mangalore aur Goa b hai jise Parsurama Shristi kehte hai.

Kalaripayattu, Silambam, Mardani Khel and almost all martial arts belonging to the Indian subcontinent have every style of modern martial arts which are based off totally or partially on Japanese Karate or Chinese martial arts that consequently have Indian roots. Kalaripayattu and Silambam however is the one that gave rise to East Asian martial art forms. The Punjabi Gatka is actually the Kshatriya shastra kala having descended from ancient Kshatriya traditions. A combination of that and Kalaripayattu together was taught to ancient Kshatriyas on the subcontinent which split into various forms we know today. It is sad that Indians have little to no info. on endemic fighting techniques and are more inclined to learn and absorb East Asian martial arts which basically have origin in Bharat.

Its not mythology its our history.

India🇮🇳

Can anyone says the difference between kalaripayatu and adimurai...!?

Kerala youth should learn nd also it should spraid all over India. Indian should protect this incredible fighting skill.

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC should post all these " IT HAPPENS ONLY IN INDIA" videos in their international channel, so that foreigners realize india is not one big slum

You should also make a documentary on other indian martial arts like gatka, silambam, Thang ta, mardani khel, vajra mushti etc and you guys should atleast add english subtitles so non hindi speakers can also see that, but still nice work.

It happens only in India 😊

Mera bharat mahan😃😊

Proud sanatani keralite🔥🔥🔥

*Kalari is actually made in South India but it has close relation with Punjabi/Rajputna Martial arts within India, Thamil culture also preserve Kalari as Varma Kalai, Nair cast, Theeya cast, Brahmin cast later Nazranis and Muslims also had preserve Kalari in Kerala. Each cast system had different type of Kalari techniques of that time such as 'Tulu nadan payattu' was designed by Theeya cast of Todays Manglore, Koorge and Kasargod areas at the same time 'Kadathnadan kalari' was designed by Nairs of Kannur and Calicut areas and also southern Kerala has made Kalari joined with Kadhakali by Travancore Kings who support and preserve Arts with Martial arts. Almost all over India all people had trained well in different type of Martial arts for the purpose of War, Safety and as a life style. But Kalari has a special name Kerala's people for north Kerala pepple believe that Parashuram Avatar of Lord Vishnu brought (taught) Kalari to the people of those era and Sage Agasthya taught a special art of body to the people of south kerala and Tamil people to escape from Tiger's attack which was very terrifica and countless at that era. However many Kalari technics are lost due to british invasion and banning of martial arts by Brits. Kalari have close relation with Muai Thai, Chineese Kungfu and Indonasian martial arts (Silat) which was also banned by Brits. As of now 75% of Kalari technics and styles are flollowing in Kerala by traditional martial arts enthusiasts. It need 15 to 20 years of continum practice to cover all techniques of Kalari. 'Ankamali and Pala in Kerala were the first Nazrani based Kalari foundations in Kerala and Malappuram and Kozhikkode were Muslim based Kalari found in Kerala.* *Kalari is related to Ayurveda and Yoga which helps a good physical and mental health of a human.* Thanks for reading.

How can we learn this?

One of my friend is like a pro is kalaripayattu. He used to teach me some hand to hand combat tricks.
