Samurai Amma: The Kalaripayattu maestro who got a Padma Shri.

Meenakshi Amma, the 76-year-old Kalaripayatu marvel from Kerala, defies age with every move. Known as the 'Samurai Amma,' she gracefully demonstrates this ancient martial art, all while donning a sari. Even men three times younger don't stand a chance against her prowess. Her indomitable "fighting spirit" remains unmatched, a testament to her years of dedication. #India #kerala #samurai #martialarts #fighting #womenempowerment #kalarippayattu
मिलिए केरल की दादी अम्मा से जिनका एक हाथ पड़ता है ना, तो आदमी उठता नहीं, उठ जाता है! #OMGIndia

Why name "Samurai"Amma??? She is not Japanese. Call her Kalari Amma or Yodhha Amma

[@Hackerinsidemyphone_caution]

Roflmao So you don't know. The princess of ayodhya married Japanese king. It was she who gave katana sword. Chandrahas is katana sword. And its wielded by Japanese samurai. So it's okay if someone calls her samurai amma. I think it's appropriate. And oh this is why Japan is also known as land of rising sun. Suryavanshi.

Meenakshi amma vanakam, proud to see that you are holding our traditional practice of ancient martial art( kalaripayatu),just one request,please upload training videos like tutorials to learn the styles along with their uses,i know its not something which can be learnt this way,but there are thousands of hidden aspirants like me who are eager to learn kalari:a way of living but couldn't because of lack of exposure and unavailability of teachers. Internet connects all any where and every where, your few efforts of display will help in keeping our tradition alive for ever amma. This is not any kind of socialism or advertisement but the passion to learn and teach eager ones like me.I hope this message reaches you,please do the needy. Nandri🙏
