Recognized as the oldest martial art as per records, originating from the vibrant land of Kerala, 'Kalari Payatt' (or Kalarippayattu) stands as a beacon of holistic health and physical prowess. It is revered not only for its combat techniques but also for its profound impact on overall well-being, imbuing practitioners with unparalleled levels of vitality, flexibility, and mental acuity. Kalari Payatt (Kalarippayattu) serves as a gateway to enhancing mental faculties, sharpening concentration, and cultivating a heightened sense of awareness that involves material and emotional detachment. As practitioners delve into the intricate movements and strategies of Kalari, they unlock a profound connection between mind, body and soul, facilitating a state of divine energy flow that permeates every aspect of their lives.

Kalari as a martial art form is all about Discipline, Dedication, Devotion and Duty. The Kalari training is based on an elaborate system of physical exercises. The practical experience of the body movements strengthens the knowledge of a practitioner or disciple to his/her 'Gurukkal', to lead a life of Courage, Integrity, Valour and Self - Realization.
