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.
Master Balachandran! A huge hello to you from Arizona!
I wanted to thank you for teaching me the adjustment methods which are seen in this video for the shoulder, elbow and wrist. I can not tell you how many times I have applied this on my students during training to release misalignments after the over application of a joint lock.
I truly look forward to my next opportunity of training with you again!
This teacher is amazing
