Kalari, also known as Kalaripayattu, is one of the oldest martial arts in the world, originating in Kerala, India. It combines combat techniques, weapon training, and physical conditioning with elements of yoga and healing practices. Known for its agility, flexibility, and precision, Kalari emphasizes mind-body coordination, discipline, and self-defense. Traditionally practiced in a Kalari (training ground), it includes strikes, kicks, grappling, and weaponry like swords, spears, and shields. Beyond combat, Kalari fosters mental resilience and spiritual growth, making it a holistic discipline that blends physical prowess with inner strength.
