many of these exercises are practised in sumatran silats we call it satria yoga,warrior yoga,as in knight,our teachers are called gurus,women warriors are called sri kandi,we use massage as well-it is said to have come over from india during sriprivit empire from sth india and then mixed in with local arts
amazing martial art , i am practicing in JKD (which in my opinion is the most complete martial art in the world) but this Kalaripayattu looks really difficult , i wonder if they can really understand the enemy movement without seeing him and also if they can really predict the enemy moves.
Man! Anyone who does Chinese MartialArts(especially Shaolin) will easily recognize this. The history of the Shaolin Temple Martial Arts is that Bodhidharma was an Indian monk or Royalty who visited Shaolin to enhace the Budhism, but found the health poor, therefore gave them his Martial Arts. Definately can see it!
Phillip Zarrilli, a professor at the University of Exeter and one of the few Western authorities on kalari payat, estimates that the art dates back to at least the 12th century CE. The historian Elamkulam Kunjan Pillai attributes the birth of kalari payat to an extended period of warfare between the Cheras and the Cholas in the 11th century CE.
In Sangam, Kalari was not used as a martial act according to Dick Luijendijk, a researcher at the university of Nijmegen. "Kalari" is a centre of learning in Kerala. they taught language, math etc. later on, there were fight schools, thats what "payattu kalari" means.
Sorry.. I am from Kerala, the home of Kalari. I would like to point out that during the time of Pazhassi Raja and Lord Wellesley, there were no machine guns. Please research before you come out with serious commentaries. Cheers.

Kalari TRUTH:

Simple and primitive, but very effective.
This seems to have quality movements compared to some other more refined martial arts.
