Kalarippayattu is an Indian martial art practised in Kerala and contiguous parts of neighboring Tamil Nadu. It incorporates strikes, kicks, grappling, martial dance, and weaponry, as well as healing techniques. The term "Kalarippayattu" is a tatpurusha compound formed from the words "kalari" meaning "school, gymnasium" and payattu derived from "payattuka" meaning "to fight" or "to exercise" or "to put hard work into". Together these two words in Malayalam or Tamil mean "Practice of arts of the battlefield". That is all from my side. I am very much interested to know more about this India Martial Art. I found some clips in different media channels and websites. The skills are astonishing. Please, share your knowledge about it.
