Kalarippayatt is a martial art style that is practiced currently in the South Indian state of Kerala. It is believed to be one of the oldest fighting systems in existence. It is believed to have been used to train warriors of the time. It is also believed to have been used for a sort of one-on-one, gladiator-like combat held in arenas, with a crowd of watching spectators. Maybe because of this reason, kalarippayatt also places a lot of emphasis on defence, possibly ensuring that you stay in the fight for a long time, especially against armed opponents. It is actually an ‘art of war’ in the sense that it places heavy emphasis on weapon-based fighting, even though bare-handed techniques and grappling also find their place in the system. In kalarippayatt, speed and agility is ranked far above strength and striking power. #kalari #kalaripayattu #martialarts #fitness #yoga #karate #kerala #india #kalarifitness #karkuk #slemani #mma #ancientindianmartialart #kungfu #kalarihealth #hawler #workout #ayurveda #k
