There should be a temple in Kerala for kalaripayattu just like the shaolin temple where all the kalaripayattu masters in Kerala can form a union. They can start a research group to uncover lost techniques in kalari and create new techniques as well. They can conduct competitions and also make kalaripayattu more advanced by integrating modern fighting styles and make it mma efficient.

[@govindg7187]

A great idea

[@bluee45]

There are many temples in Kerala which teaches kalaripayattu. But our govt is not at all interested in these things. This art was taught by lord parashuram for the people of Kerala (keralaputhra) but now it's getting more popular outside kerala and dying inside Kerala 🥲

Good idea. But please don't compare with MMA which doesn't have the deep roots of an ancient culture and philosophy.

[@rajeshkhilari]

People are not wrong about the negative perception of Kalari. Simple reason is, why there is not a single video available of its actual/real fight ? We have only Demo, Choreographed fights of Kalari Payatt. NOT A SINGLE REAL FIGHT ??? If British banned Kalari, the Japanese had also banned Taekkyon, Subak in Korea. Both the countries, India & Korea got liberation on 15th August. Thereafter, Taekwondo evolved as a Martial Arts & Martial Sport. Kalari is still portraying only Demonstrations. Hence, the reason of British ban and showcasing only Forms & Demonstrations are not a buyable excuse.

[@jiyanmehta7250]

Well I think this is a viable justification in my opinion.Tho honestly I do understand and agree with the criticisms that Kalari has we first need to judge how watered down this version of Kalari is compared to the traditional one in its purest form.Also the fact that it is an excuse would be viable if Kalaripayattu was the only one affected,when all of Indian martial arts were affected right?Also there have been many martial arts watered down to be pure forms of entertainment,the most prime example being Sumo.What are your views on this?

[@user-rv4yh4sj5z]

Though, korean martial arts were banned, they were only banned for 36 years. Meanwhile kalari was banned for almost 200 years. So, in my opinion there is no comparison between the two.

[@rajeshkhilari]

@@user-rv4yh4sj5z Accepted the duration of ban. However, Kalari is stagnant that is the point. Except choreographed demonstration fights, there is not a single example of its actual and real usage.

Those who achieved it in Ezhava tribe 18&half are called Chekavar. This martial art is not perfect. It was lost unexpectedly.

[@legendgunner1249]

Actually MUAY THAI, LETHWEI,KUN KHMER and BOKATOR are all derived from KALAARIPAYATU fourth stage called VEERUKAMAI which means unarmed combat or hand to hand combat, in this stage, we have mushti yuddha(fist combat), malla yuddha(wrestling),vajramushti yuddha(claws knuckles combat) and marma( pressure points attack). So mauy thai, muay boran,lethwei, kun khmer and bokator are all derived from KALAARIPAYATU MUSHTI YUDDHA stage

Thanks man even I was thinking the same. Kalari looks very artistic and brilliant but being a combat fighter myself, I've been always doubting how does one use it in a practical fight, especially back in ancient times.

[@tengudown5968]

the main issue what first comes to my mind would be, Since its such a ancient art and possibly the original most martial arts are derived from today is the fact it is so old, Techniques and arts evolve through time and since this was banned for so many years it made it hard for new techniques to be learned and passed down

[@pruthvi3384]

Excellent Bhaiya, this video actually would help people understand what kalari is? And why are the movements so important? I personally feel like kalaripayattu is a form of study where you learn the movements of the body and coordinate the movements by which the body transforms into a flexible weapon.

[@xxxdieselyyy2]

Kalaripayattu was to be used in the ancient era battlefield not in an arena. Once gunpowder came to be, such arts efficiency came down. In Thailand also, Muay Boran evolved into Muay Thai for the arena. Same didn't happen with Kalaripayattu sadly.

The problem of lack of todays effectiveness is not specific to kalaripayattu. As time goes on unfortunately without competition everything winds up becoming more of a ritual rather than a live art.

People think Boxing practical because of the influencers. In reality, what matters most is the style. This style is mostly agile and grabbing, especially in Hand-to-hand. Agile fighters in MMA can quickly turn tables on those that depend on strength. Someone from India should represent it in UFC. Practice with weapon is common, in other martial arts too, like Kung Fu. Though ofc, you can't just hand in a child a pen to start writing before he knows to speak and say words. So they do know hand-to-hand. Again, no disrespect to you, but practicality IMO is dumb. Because most of it comes straight from just media representation and style points. Style points are given in MMA, though. Not for practicality, but for the hype of the fans. You bring in more money to the franchise, the more stylish your fight style is

I have an answer for the people who question kalaripayattu. Have you seen the map of India before British rule. During mughal rule,mourya rule, maratha rule. There is a reason why the south part is not the same colour as the north.

[@Soulsurfer369]

Kalari should be taught in schools as part of academic curriculum. Then only it could be developed as a combat sport of some sort. When everyone learns Kalari there is scope for real competition and thereby chances for improving its effectiveness in combat sports. The use of pads, helmets and protection could take Kalari to new levels or maybe to the old glory of when it was a battle art. Besides, daily practice of Kalari could bringforth courage, discipline and good behavior by enduring hardwork, pain and fear involved in training of warfare techniques. Daily practice of Kalari is helpful to deal with issues associated with growing lifestyle diseases from sedentary work culture, junk food and substance abuse. Great effort brother. Much needed talk on a subject that deserves due attention. Reluctance to adapt to the changes of time will make Kalari a gimmick and laughing stock in the global fight communities.

@Nandu Could you please name some better combat sports forms

[@Soulsurfer369]

​@Nandu Martial arts applications in the context of combat sports and real life fights are entirely different. In MMA there are rules like no groin shots, no eye gouging, no hitting behind the head, no hitting on numerous sensitive areas or now even no socker kicks and there are referees to ensure that there are no mishaps. Besides, in MMA or any sport like wrestling the fighters have same weight, almost same level of training and stage is set to ensure the safety of the fighters. In real-life fights the scene is different. The opponents could be one or multiple; trained or untrained; may or may not have weapons; there is scope to improvise anything as a weapon, even the walls and floor; even the time of the day have an impact on the outcome of the fight. Muay thai is a relatively modern martial art derived from bokator whose origins could be traced to mushti yuddha, numerous northeast Indian martial arts and even south Indian fighting systems like adi murai and kalari. Elbow strikes are a common technique in Kalari and adimurai. Boxing is the oldest martial art known to man and some form of it is present in almost all parts of the world including India. As for wrestling, India has produced some of the best pehalwans in the world and stories of pehelwaani are ever presnt in all Indian epics and this land has produced the best wrestler ever ' the great gama'. Origins of Judo and BJJ could also be traced to Indian martial art systems like Pehlwaani, Kalari, adimurai, and pootu murai. Eg. Kimura and similar arm locks are same as variations of 'kopra pootu' in kalari. Triangle choke, d'arce and guilettin are similar to numerous 'kola poot' in kalari and adi murai. Kalari is not a single martial art. its a culmination of multiple systems that trains the body and mind; teaches to fight with and without weapons; against single and multiple opponents; teaches first to kill and later to heal; an even teaches the techniques to manipulate vital points. One need discpline, dedication, patience and hardwork to master the techniques. Kalari teaches one to be a formidable warrior while being a good human being. Based on my experience, The northern style is stylish and holds highly effective weapon-based techniques. The southern style is dirty and has simple techniques apt for self defence as well as hand to hand combat. There are also numerous other systems like tulunadan lahalamura, kadathanadan kai kuthi payatt, kaati paruthi, pilla taangi etc. which has its on specialisations. One might need atleat 16-18 years to properly learn basic fighting; weapons like stick, knives, swords, spear and urumi as well as basics of healing techniques. Weapon training is still relevent today as it also adds to the mental strength to fight armed opponents. Besides, everyday objects could be easily weaponized with some imagination. Eg; Books, keys, belt, pen, sticks, stones; a spear is a knife tied to a stick. Someone who is well trained in souther+northern kalari, pehalwaani and pootu murai could easily become an MMA fighter as basics of grappling, wrestling and hand to hand combat are already covered and became musle memory. As for real life application, even trained individuals could suffer grave injuries if attacked with weapons like stone, stick or knife or thrown to floor. Someone with proper kalari training has better odds against armed opponents than some one trained in Muay thai, BJJ or Boxing. I have utmost respect for all martial arts. As miamoto musashi said 'One becomes a true martial artist if and when they become capable of applying the techniques learned in real life. It's not the art but the practitioner that matters. Peace brother

[@Soulsurfer369]

@Nandu You can't say they are the only things that work. BJJ is simply a style of grappling. In fact, BJJ is a derivative of the Japanese Jitsu. Judo is mostly throwing techniques, Wrestling is like a combination of Judo and Jiu Jitsu. Muay Thai is a striking Martial art that uses 8 limbs. True kalari is a battle derived martial art that teaches people to kill. Please don't underestimate what you don't know. Learn Thekkan kalari from a capable master for 3 years and then say Kalari won't work in real life fights.

​@@ulrichenry4881 How is Kalaripayattu style according to you... Is it extremely complex or simole and direct?

[@ulrichenry4881]

@@johanbijujohn2999 I would Say that it is complex but effective because it actually focuses on the body mechanics of the movement you execute. For example when I did karate you chamber the kick and then strike. In Kalaripayattu you execute the kick but then you swing your leg back to teach your body proper balance and then execute it again. I will tell you from all the martial arts I have taking this one has the most body control of the strikes you execute and that means you have proper balance while fighting. It also has a lot of power in its strikes

[@ulrichenry4881]

@@johanbijujohn2999 one more then out of all the martial arts I trained in, Kalaripayattu is in my opinion the most disciplined and body conditioning along for the whole body. It's kicks are very powerful but so are it's palm strikes and punches. I have not done grappling yet but We do role for practicing grappling moves. Overall I would say I love Kalaripayattu because the movements are amazing and it challenges your body. But any good martial art will challenge you. I highly recommend it. PS it's also good for your health

[@rinc2006]

There is no problem with kelaripayattu, it is the number one martial art when it comes to perfection. It is the most effective and very dangerous martial arts when it comes to real street fight. It was designed for real war and true survival. It is not for a show like karate, although it may appear so. Those who criticises kalarippayattu are completely unaware of its techniques and history. The only problem with kalarippayattu is our lack of respect to our own culture, and the lack of support from the government.

But thank God, I was able to realise the fact that my belief then, about kalarippayattu was not backed by any real knowledge at all, but rather was just a blind dislike. Kalarippayattu is not just a martial art, it has a therapeutic side as well, which is far more scientific, much more effective and safer than the modern medicine

Kalari Payattu seems to have the opposite problem of modern day HEMA(Historical European Martial Arts) Whereas hema is all about Sparring, and Historical Accuracy and cares little for the Spirituality, Fitness, and Meditiation. Kalari is all about health, fitness, and spirituality over Sparring as for the historical accuracy of modern kalari, I am unsure as I am not as familiar with Indian history as I am with European history

Kalaripayattu attacks are based on pressure points. The siddar who found the Kalaripayattu. According to aadhi dravida adimurai(thekkan style)agathya muni and bhogar states that 18 techniques are used Kalaripayattu this Each 18 technicals has its 64 division for example puch is a technique in kalari we can punch(idi kai )one in 18. 64 angle can be punched and its its 64 sub punches .another movement is adikai ( means hit)it is about 64 type that means 64 angel and its subdivision so this 18 type are present.

Mahabharata is not just about war, Ramayana is not just about a story, Yoga is not just an exercise method and Kalari is not just about fighting. They reflect the rich and deep and vast culture that produced them. To even begin to understand them we need to go deeper and wider than is possible in a single lifetime.
