Dating back over 3,000 years, Kalaripayattu is characterized by fluid, animal-like movements, high-flying acrobatics, and deadly weapons.
Watching a live training session in a traditional mud-pit 'Kalari' is a mesmerizing experience.
True power lies in absolute control and fluidity.
Cultural Integration
Kalaripayattu forms the physical foundation for many of Kerala's classical art forms, including Kathakali. Understanding the martial art deepens your appreciation for the dance.
Kalari is not just about combat; it includes a sophisticated system of healing and massage (Marmachikitsa). Book a session to alleviate deep-seated muscular tension.
