  • By this third part, there is a clear seperation of the really curious janta from the usual youtube channel surfers :D

  • That's kickass! Using a head-butt!!

  • India is an old civilization with much to show us in the west.

    A small part of their rich cultural heritage.

  • i want to learn this art

  • good... u can contact me...

  • I would rather live in a place like this then an Indian city

  • So would I, I go to india all the time, I just got back earlier this year, indian cities arent the greatest... kolkatta (spelling?) is the worst *shudder* delhi is pretty cool, agra is pretty cool, but this kinda smallish place called silli guri is awesome, its up closer to nepal.

  • There's this beautiful place in Rajasthan called Pushkar, that I love. My Great Grandmother's village in Gujarat is also very nice.

  • cant they see that the art is simular to capura the african art ,and i heard he said middle east the origin of martial arts ,BULL, africa africa!!! because india was part of the kushite kingdom they must have picked up the arts when trading with kemet and further develop on it.

  • Was it really necessary to post that four times? Do you really have to be so Afrocentric about it?

    India was home to the Indus Valley Culture, NOT Kushites!

  • cant they see that the art is simular to capura the african art ,and i heard he said middle east the origin of martial arts ,BULL, africa africa!!! because india was part of the kushite kingdom they must have picked up the arts when trading with kemet and further develop on it.

  • Shouldnt reveal the art? What a nice job snitching here on Youtube. lol I must learn Kalari

  • and i am glad to realize that you have mastered the art by this time..

  • Please help!

    Where do yo have this video from? I own a book which i got years ago where exactly this interview with the indian master is featured. I would really like to know the name of the film or see more of it!

  • alternatively..the indus valley civilizatio is considered to be a proto-dravidian civilization..and there is no signs or aryan invasion in india. indus valley predates the other civilizations in the fertile region where intellect began. sanskrit and tamil were both developed by the indigenous people in which case we must strive to preserve and promote these arts and not let it die.

  • Aryan invasion is a propaganda B.S The term Arya refers in vedic scriptures to being "noble" , and not to a race. Please don't spread the garbage spewed out by colonial era biased British "historian".

  • okay soutihes.....what we are today..our language tamil or malayalam or kanada or telugu, our intellect, our psychology, our arts everything can be owed to Agasthiyar and a class of other siddhars. but is agastiyar and other brahmin class people different from our race? as in are they aryans and we are dravidians? if thats the case there is no point in claiming these arts to be our own becoz it was given to us by a different race.

  • Kalaripayattu dosent work in a real fight, muay thai is better

  • all martial arts work in a fight. It's up to the fighter to be able to defend himself. All martial arts have their own strengths and weaknesses.

  • nothing works in a real fight accept brains, Muay Thai is no better unless you know when it will work and when it wont, depends on the opponents movements, not the particular art, best know know a bit of everything, including spiriting aways from a fight. and by the way, Thailand was invaded and colonised by South Indians.

  • whos your daddy

  • That's what I was saying. The art only teaches the fighter some more effective way of fighting. But's is all useless if the fighter can't apply them. A person might not even know martial arts but if he uses his brain and can adapt to the situation, he'll win.

  • you say kalari doesnt work. however i see in their sparring, which is unscripted and at full speed, the same dynamics that i see in a real fight/brawl. and, yet the combatants still manage to retain beauty and elegance

  • thx very interesting

  • More i watch this movie-the more i see similarity with old Ukrainian culture/ Dances and movements.

  • I'm impressed by this culture

  • this reminds me about how the old india was like before modernization. yes, it was poorer and there wasn't too many flashy things, but it was a much better place. there was so much culture. relationships meant something. in today's india, ppl have lost respect for their ancient traditions, become more selfish, lost their family values, and destroy their environment. very sad.

  • ye, man, i totally agree even though i am not from india, ancient india was way better place then india now.

  • I kind of disagree. Today relationsships still mean something. Not as much as it was back then, but now, we have poverty going down womans rights today are much more respected, and we didn't have civil wars because someone was a different religion. Sure, there is still unrest today, Hey, the caste was a huge thing back then and then the untouchables just got it horrible. Nowadays the caste isn't as much as an issue. I would prefer the India of today to the India of the past for several reasons.

  • Yeah, but there are a lot of scholars that argue that the India just prior to Morgol invasion was sorting out its shit. Ashokas India was also a good India. Better then today. I am Indian, but from Fiji. I live in NZ. If every city in the world looked like an Indian city, and every beach like juhu beach, it would be a sighing that we are at the end of the world

  • You kidding me. India is considered a potential superpower by Newsweek, International Herald tribune and other news sources call India that. Hell, the Amish in America live in worse then the Indian cities you are talking about. But they're fine with it, nor would people considere it the end of the world if every city was like that. You obviously haven't been to India in a while if you think that.

  • woohoo listen to you, trust me I can guarantee I've read just as much on India as you have. problem with people like your self is your equate economic development and capitalistic exploitation with progress. The Amish have a subsistence economy, and they have the same life expectancy as the general us pop. I may be tired and don't care about spelling errors but I do have a degree in social science. Went to india in 2005-06. The ave world city has between 500,000-1 mill people.

  • I don't read about India, I visit India. Last time I went was 06-07. and I'm going again in about a month. Obviously, you haven't been visiting any actual Indian cities, and I recommend you actually visit actual Indian cities, because by the sound of it, you haven't been. Guess what, looks like your degree in social science isn't doing anything for you. Until you actually visited India like I have, and talked to everybody in India like I have,

  • Oh, you have a degree in social science, well i guess i should listen to Dr. Kavorkian, apparently he has a degree in medicine, he must know what's best. Just to let you know, having a degree doesn't mean much, unless you have a reputation to back it up. Because you read something doesn't mean you know everything about it. There's nothing you read that can guarantee the truth. Another example, in America, the APA says that video games cause violence, and had all this research to back it up.

  • Now do the math and come to the full realisation that not only will people think that if every city was like an Indian city (as an example, there are other countries we can use) that would indicate the end of the beginning, they would have a front row seat. FYI google New Zealand or Fiji and Beach to find out what they are really suppose to look like.

  • *beginning of the end

  • Russia, Israel will disagree with you. Plus, I met people who have a degree in social science that will also disagree with you. Their advantage being that they lived in India, and actually visited the cities, and not the just the slums, or just some town or small village. Hey, I'm guessing according to your definition, if every city in the world was like Detroit, then that would be the beginning of the end.

  • or keep in contact with the people from India like I have, because most of them will be pissed when you say how they cities suck so much, that it's a sign of the end of the world.Plus, if your average definition of a city is 500,000 - 1 million people, New York City, L.A,London, Chicago, Paris, Milan, Sanfrancisco, las vegas, would also fit your definition of the end of the world.

  • But, violence has been down for the past 30 years, and video games have been around for the past 30 years. Another example, you can say that you read all about Muslims, and only met a couple of Muslims, but that doesn't make you an expert, because you met one Muslim, and read a couple of books on it. Because you visited India two years ago, and 'read' stuff on it, doesn't make you an expert. In fact, I can guarantee you that the people of India, China, Ukraine, Italy, U.S, UK, Germany, France,

  • sometimes bharatnatyam is just bharatnatyam

  • thanks alot for these videos

    is this in kerala..? if so how come they're speaking tamil...

  • this was revived during the Chera dynasty so it is along all the regions of chera kingdom kerala and southern tamilnadu

  • in the video before (3), it said the guy was the owner of an ice cream shop in madras.

  • On the video the commentator did mention that the north and the south even though they speak the same language but they still have big racial difference between them.

    Trying to point out one race is Aryan the others are Dravidian and Tamil.

  • sorry dear.. but the poin abt north and south are about the kalari payattu sampradayam ( systems).. in northen styles weapon to weapon fighting has got mroe importance and in southern style freehand fights are used more.. i am from Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala and i practice southern style of kalaripayattu from veerakerala marma kalari sangham under Sri krishnan Kutty asan..

  • have you ever been up in the north or studied it to comment on it. from what i can see is that there they both fight armed and un-armed except that the north they do high kicks and low crouching moves like the north and south shaolin.

  • my dear sir.. the martial art of Kalari payattu is confined to the small state Kerala and not the whole of India.. the northen style is practiced more in northen part of Kerala and not northern India.. its just 6oo km from my place and there are masters who teach northern style in our paert of the state.. my master himself learned from 9 master in his youth and he is a master of northern style too... may I know where u r frm?.

  • I am from London England, I didn't say north Indian though there use to be martial arts practised there before such as Gupta Shastra from Bengal and many more, most of them are extinct coz of the British Raja's ban. But some are still around like Thang-Ta from Manipur, Sri searat and Butthan from Bangladesh. I do not doubt u, just a correction unless u can prove me wrong. But all I am saying is that the north Kerala uses un-armed techniques much as the south but I stated the difference.

  • i never said that northern India dosent hav martial arts.. niether did i say that vadakkan sampradayam dosent use free hand techs.. the difference is that free hand tech are used more in southern style and weapons are used more in northern style..

  • one reason is that malayalam sounds alot like tamil. For instance, malayalam uses all the letters in the tamil alphabet and some sanskrit ones
