Through generations, it has been acknowledged and respected across the globe.This martial arts practice embraces scientific knowledge as well as the wisdom of Ayurveda and Yoga – especially their healing techniques. Keen practitioners of Kalaripayattu are also well acquainted with the pressure points on the human body. Kalari is a combination of strikes, kicks, grappling, weaponry, healing methods, and also incorporates the fine finger movements. The beauty lies in the grace of this personal combat training.
