Kalaripayattu / Kalari Documentary - Amazing Games Part 1

[angryaznman]

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.

[angryaznman]

Kalari TRUTH:

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.

[angryaznman]

Qing Scholars of the same time as the preface denounced the author of the preface as "an ignorant village master" because there are MANY historical errors in the preface, including getting who was emperor at the time WRONG. that is like saying Bush is still president.

google this

"A Venerated Forgery: The Daoist Origins of Shaolin’s Famous Yijin Jing Manual By Jim R. McClanahan"

For detailed examples.

[angryaznman]

There is ONE source for this bodhi myth. 1800s PREFACE of the yi jin jing has the story of him staring at a rock wall for years then disappearing into thin air leaving behind 2 books. 1 being the yi jin jing, which doesnt teach any fighting. it only teaches stretches and breathing exercises. even the MYTH doesnt say bodhi taught shaolin monks anything.

historians (like Tang Hao, Xu Zhen and Matsuda Ryuchi) have discredited the myth and the preface altogether.

btw there isnt 1 indian source.

[03j31a0205]

All the martial arts have originated by copying animal movement's martial arts can only be refined you can't say one copied from another, history show's kalari exits more than 5000 year's old chines kung fu dis not exist by that period which proves which came first

[03j31a0205]

Unlike modern India and Chinese hatered in the ancient period had very good trade and cultural relation’s (if you have ever heard of silk route between India and Chinese 2000 year's ago trade route)It is a very good possibility that Chinese inherited, Indian kalari and refined it to a new version of kungfu

[03j31a0205]

KAlari is science of knowing human body o heal it and damage it, using 108 marma’s (same used in kungfu) 64 marma;s are extremely sensitive depending on the force used a person can faint,paralysed and killedkalari has many form’s in which one style uses folded finger’s another style is diamond fist using to attack 64 marma’s used for KILLING ONLY. it is mentioned in veda's as well which are more than 5000 year's old in par with yoga

[03j31a0205]

[03j31a0205]

There are many reason's to hate India, it is poor,(AS shown in slum dog), many political reason's from china, Pakistan, but India was a wealthy nation which lured European’s to India 150 year's ago, United India extended from ghadhar (present khandhar Afghanistan) , Pakistan, to Himalayan ranges including manasasarovar currently under Chinese possesion

[psychobobsnob24]

@03j31a0205............Have you got any honour at all?? You've criticised our country by just watching a movie. who do you think you are? Don't you forget you are an Indian too. Stop posting sh*ts......and learn to respect your origin.........atleast it has got a gigantic history,........which I doubt you haven't read at all.

Also know about our Stock markets......and Governments Power!!

I'm sure you wouldn't be interested in that considering yourself a westerner 24/7-365........Pathetic!!!

[buakawfan333]

lol its funny people sayin which martial art is the oldest etc. try find the oldest civilisation...which one is that? then ull find oldest martial art and the so called originator !! at least koreans didnt lie about borrowing most of their style from karate. respect !! martial arts has always been trading and sharing and evolving like any arts. whovever beleives this is the origin of all martial arts is a sucker

[kprasad]

angryyaznman is a pathetic loser whose utter and complete lack of life has prompted him to search out every martial art thats not from china and leave stupid, mind numbingly boring comments out there under the delusion that someone cares.

please do get a life outside youtube commentary you geekass moron.

[angryaznman]

only those upset by the truth keep msging me to stop spreading this info. DONT LISTEN TO ME THEN. LISTEN TO Elamkulam Kunjan Pillai?

i sure as hell cant make that name up. he is historian FROM KERALA.

just face the truth that kalari tradition is not the same as origin of kalari payat.

how long has studies been around? yet things like social psychology is new. its like saying just cuz we had math classes 2k years ago, we have psych classes too. because its an area of study.

[angryaznman]

7. So in conclusion, there was kung fu before shaolin. There was shaolin kung fu before bodhi. The creation of the animal styles is documented, no bodhi. The one source that credits bodhi is faulty and the author of that one preface was viewed as an “IGNORANT VILLAGE MASTER”

The End, dreams over.

[KDS3000]

@angryaznman

So in conclusion, you have obviously read a lot of books, but you refuse to answer my points head on.

No-one sensible can dispute the lack of historical evidence for Bodhdharma's influence on the actual fighting techniques. This is agreed.

However, more important than any actual fighting technique is the spiritual basis of the martial art.

Bodhidharma (and if not him, then another indian) transmitted the spiritual teachings of India to Shaolin.

BTW do you practice martial arts?

[killians45]

@angryaznman

Well, you go to most cited sources, like Discovery and Nat Geo and they also state that kalari payatu is actually the oldest form of martial arts.

[angryaznman]

@killians45 discovery and national geographic are not sources. historic texts is a source.

and like i keep pointing out. although maybe not here, Kalari is centre of learning in kerala. this tradition is old.

kalari payattu is fight school, this is NOT. its what indian historians and kalari experts say. read my next post for more.

[angryaznman]

@killians45

Kalari TRUTH:

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.

[angryaznman]

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.

[angryaznman]

@killians45 so you see, yes KP can be the oldest, if you ignore what it really is and just date the entire tradition of kalari in kerala.

but it is not accurate and anyone interested in the truth wouldnt pull such a dumb trick.

[RhadeConstantine]

@angryaznman why do I see you trolling every other kalaripayattu video, with the whole "age of kalaripayattu" issue? it's really sad if you actually specifically go around on youtube looking for people to argue this over? I mean, If I wanted to read wikipedia i'd go to it myself, I don't need you to copy paste stuff from there, onto youtube's comment section.

[angryaznman]

6. Sinews Changing Classic: Scholars disregard this preface because it has many anachronistic mistakes and the fact that popular fictional characters from Chinese literature, including the "Bushy Bearded Hero" (虬髯客), are listed as lineage masters. In fact, Ling Tinkang (1757-1809), a SCHOLAR of the QING Dynasty, described the author (Li Jing) as an “IGNORANT VILLAGE MASTER”

[angryaznman]

5. The painting in Shaolin does NOT depict bodhi teaching shaolin monks. It actually only shows many shades of monks, all wearing Chinese clothes, practicing kung fu. Leave it to dreamers to think anyone who is a shade darker than light is Indian. Even if they were, no indication whatsoever about bodhi. PLUS the painting was done a THOUSAND years after bodhi’s time. It CANNOT be used as an indication of the past.

[angryaznman]

4. The ONE place that credits bodhi is discredited: ONLY the PREFACE of the 1800s VERSION of the Yijin Jing mentions Bodhi with kung fu at all. Historians (like Tang Hao, Xu Zhen and Matsuda Ryuchi) discredit this preface because it is FULL of INACCURACIES. Even getting the Emperor Reigns wrong.

[angryaznman]

3. Creation of 5 animal kung fu styles is documented, NO BODHI: Jueyuan was a master of the 18 Luohan Hands. the original 18 techniques of Shaolin. He expand to 72, but wanted to do more. He travel to Gansu Province to the city of Lanzhou and met Li Sou. He was a master of Hong Quan. they work with Bai YuFeng and expand the 72 techniques to around 170. Those 170 techniques were than divided into the 5 animal forms.

[angryaznman]

2. Shaolin kung fu predates bodhi: The 2 men who became the VERY FIRST Shaolin monks were ALREADY experts in kung fu. Shaolin kung fu came from them. ("History of Chinese Martial arts: Jin Dynasty to the Period of Disunity") Also, they found weapons in the monestaries of Chang'an. ("Martial arts Myths of Shaolin Monastery, Part I: The Giant with the Flaming Staff") Suggesting the monks already practied martial arts.

[angryaznman]

Pure Facts that destroy delusional dreamers:

1. Kung Fu predates shaolin: Spring and Autumn Annals of Wu and Yue, the Bibliographies in the Book of the Han Dynasty and the Records of the Grand Historian all document martial arts that predate Shaolin. A good example is Shuai Jiao, grappling martial art.

[angryaznman]

im tired. here are the facts ok?

1. Chinese are legendary record keepers. EVERYTHING is recorded. even obscure indian kingdoms. example KUSHAN EMPIRE. wiki it. "contacts with china"

2. EVERY kung fu style and its creation was documented. including the 5 animal styles of shaolin (no bodhi)

3. only ONE source, the PREFACE of the 1800s VERSION of the YijinJing credits bodhi. its been discredited by historians. this source was also a thousand years later.

4. NO other source mentions him

[KDS3000]

@angryaznman

There is a logical fallacy in your argument. The lack of documentary evidence is not a positive proof that an event did not occur.

Besides, It can clearly be observed in human history that 'inconvenient' documents have a habit of disappearing.

The Christians managed to 'lose' douments regarding 18 years of the life of Jesus (ages 12 to 30). Does the lack of documents in this case positively prove that nothing happened in this time?

BTW do you actually practice any martial art?

[angryaznman]

@KDS3000 LOL i have logical fallacy? you actually believe Chinese magically lost every document that credits bodhi and magically saved all the ones that document creation WITHOUT his involvement?

wowowowowow.

wow. dont know what to tell you.

[KDS3000]

@angryaznman

There is nothing magical about it. Documents can very easily be lost, or destroyed, or edited, or faked. Sometimes documents are purposefully destroyed by people who do not like what they say.

Judging by your hostility to the idea of an Indian influence on Chinese martial arts, there most likely have been others. It is not impossible that such people purposefully destroyed the relevant documents.

The main point is that I cannot say for certain, and neither can you.

[KDS3000]

@angryaznman

Another point that you have missed.

The PRIMARY purpose of Shaolin was Spiritual practice and teaching.

There is a reason it was called the Shaolin MONASTERY, and not the Shaolin Martial Arts Academy.

Martial arts were a SECONDARY purpose of Shaolin. It provided a practical defence in unstable times, but also it provided a way to put the Spiritual teachings into practice.

Therefore the spiritual teachings of Bodhidharma are what is important, and it is why his name is remembered.

[angryaznman]

part 3

so not only did the FIRST 2 shaolin monks already know kung fu, not only was there chinese MA BEFORE kalari.

but last but not least, the ONE source that give bodhi credit, is the PREFACE of the 1800s VERSION of the Yi Jin Jing (not in the YJJ itself). This preface is also full of errors. Martial Arts Historians Tang Hao, Xu Zhen and Matsuda Ryuchi have now discredited the preface and the bodidharma myth as well. END.

[angryaznman]

part 2.

18 luo han hands were by the 18 luo han monks. The 5 animal styles were from Li Sou, Hong Quan and Jueyuan. There is nothing left for bodhi to claim LMAO.

Yes, I heard of the painting. One problem, first, it only shows various shaded monks all wearing Chinese clothes practicing. Second, it doesn’t say anything about bodhidharma. Third, it was done during Ming, a MILLENIUM AFTER bodhi’s time. So way to go.

end part 2...

[angryaznman]

seems too many indians believe this funny joke. i will burst all your bubbles.

Kung Fu did NOT come from India. Boddhidharma only taught zen techniques like breathing first of all. second, the first shaolin monks were already masters in kung fu.

end part 1

[KDS3000]

You have missed the point. Whether or not Bodhidharma taught the monks fighting techniques is not important. The important thing is that he was a spiritual teacher, and it was the spiritual discipline and focus of the monks that elevated Shaolin Kung Fu above other fighting disciplines. If you ever come across a true spiritual master you will find you value them above all other teachers. In this way it can be said Bodhidharma was the founder of Shaoilin Kung Fu.

[angryaznman]

@KDS3000

no, even in that way it can be said he helped the MONKS be better MONKS. you cant stretch it to him being a founder of something that was already there.

this is called logic and common sense.

[KDS3000]

@angryaznman

Shaolin Kung Fu is inextricably linked with Buddhism. I would argue that If you remove the Spiritual side then it would become something fundamentally different. As far as I am aware, Buddhism originated in India, not China.

For some reason you do not seem to give much importance to the spiritual aspect of the art. Maybe you were unaware but Shaolin was a MONASTERY.

[angryaznman]

@KDS3000 maybe you were unaware, the men who became the FIRST 2 shaolin monks already knew kung fu.

Canzonieri, Salvatore (FebruaryMarch 1998). "History of Chinese Martial arts: Jin Dynasty to the Period of Disunity". Han Wei Wushu 3 (9).

explains that the two men who became the FIRST shaolin monks, were already experts in kung fu. Senchou's skill with the Tin Staff is recorded in the Chinese Buddhist Canon.

truth hurts?

[KDS3000]

@angryaznman

Once again you missed the point. I am not disputing the fact that Martial Arts existed in China before Bodhidharma’s arrival. What I am saying is that the Spiritual knowledge and practices that Bodhidharma brought from India are what elevated Shaolin Kung Fu above other Martial Arts. Without the Spiritual element Shaolin Kung Fu would just have been one style among many, and would not have spread around the world.

[angryaznman]

@KDS3000 you can say whatever you want. but unless you have historical records that support claims, no pragmatic person will listen.

and what elevate. any pragmatic person knows sanda (Cung Le one who uses it) is a much more effective martial art.

funny enough, sanda's main characteristics (the throws and take downs) were directly from shuai jiao and jiao li.

[KDS3000]

@angryaznman

You put too much emphasis on the written word. Martial Arts are primarily an ORAL tradition, knowledge being passed down from Master to Disciple. It is the modern world that puts so much emphasis on books. There are many things of value that cannot be learned from a book.

I have been told the story of Bodhidharma from Kung Fu Masters both inside and outside of China. How do you explain that? They were not repeating something they read iin a book, it had been passed down to them.

[angryaznman]

@KDS3000 stop making things up. jesus. the historical texts are there. we Chinese can read the texts. YOU ARE NOT FOOLING ANYONE you clown.

this idiot actually thinks record keepers like Chinese would resort to oral tradition. yeah they documented the creation of ALL kung fu styles but forgot the bodhidharama.

that makes sense.

[KDS3000]

@angryaznman There is no need to be agressive and insulting. I'm not sure what you think I am making up. I am a martial artist who has practised both Chinese and Indian martial arts in both China and India. A martial art is not a theoretical subject, it cannot be learnt from a book.

I would say that there is insufficient documentary evidence to be able to say 100% what happened. But there is no doubt that Buddhism came from India and had a profound effect on the development of Shaolin kung fu

[RhadeConstantine]

@angryaznman hey bro, just curious but do you study kung fu?

[ravving]

@angryaznman ur a pakistani donkey

[omniexistus]

why is the quality so shitty?  it's like it was done in the 70's...

[nrittam]

i meant, instead of europe, other parts of east asia

[nrittam]

my reply to a chinki

martial arts, was documented , as coming to tibet , via bodhidharma, to tibet, and then to china, and other parts of europe

Chinese , the men especially, are the most ugly race, in the world..

[kumarsa108]

Dude there is no need for that, most people including chinese are ok, so dont go there with the racist fugly comments.

[nrittam]

i was only kidding.. so what is our chinese bhai saying about martial arts ?

[EtrenX]

Haha! That's the narrator has such a heavy accent!

[angryaznman]

still waiting for these whining babies to give me an actual historical reference that ISNT the preface of the 1800s version of the Yi Jin Jing :D

cant be found. thats the ONLY one. that preface is full of historical errors also. completely disregarded by historians as a legit source.

even still, so many dreamers want to believe. jokes.

[EtrenX]

Hello again AngryAsianMan! Haha this is like the third video we've seen each other...

[mendicopelvico]

cazzo il maestro è Giobbe Covatta! mito!!!

[kettensaeger999]

oh lord shiva you will return as KALI YUGA and rip all our idiotic asses bam bam nataraj ,kalaripayattu mother of martial arts

[chonwai]

martial arts are for strengthening the body and mind, no matter who practices it, it should not be use for violence, this is just a way of life, please don't mix them with extremist ideas

[angryaznman]

part 3

so not only did the FIRST 2 shaolin monks already know kung fu, not only was there chinese MA BEFORE kalari.

but last but not least, the myth that bodidharma had a scroll that taught kung fu was a myth. was actually written by a Daoist priest Zining of Mt. Tiantai.

Martial Arts Historians Tang Hao, Xu Zhen and Matsuda Ryuchi have now discredited the bodidharma myth as well. END.

[angryaznman]

part 2.

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

kung fu existed FAR before that. Jiao Li was one. the ancestor of Shuai Jiao, Jiu Jutsu, Judo, etc. was taught 3,000 years ago to Zhou dynasty soldiers. end part 2...

[angryaznman]

Kung Fu did NOT come from India. Boddhidharma only taught zen techniques like breathing first of all. second, the first shaolin monks were already masters in kung fu. third, bodidharma was suppose to be a master of Kalari....end part 1

[MfalmeBwana]

According to the famed Karate Grandmaster Masutatsu Oyama in his book "Advanced Karate" on pg.13 "The oldest known records concerning combat techniques, hieroglyphic scrolls from Egyptian tombs, dating as far back as 4000 B.C." He also states that Bhodhidharma traveled to China and combined his combat and yogic breathing exercises with indigenous Chinese martial arts at a temple called Shaolin.

[angryaznman]

again, learn the difference between a primary source and a secondary source. all secondary source get their claim from the PREFACE of the 1800's version of the Yi Jin Jing. that is the primary source. which has been discredited by historians for having so many errors.

[supersaiyanboi]

that guy was so big compared to them...and they were kinda holding back..or they were just swinging the sword around

[angryaznman]

[6arcsn1sky]

Do you have any sources to support your claims? Or, you're just speaking nonsense?

[angryaznman]

Spring and Autumn Annals of Wu and Yue, the Bibliographies in the Book of the Han Dynasty and the Records of the Grand Historian all document martial arts that predate Shaolin.

2 Kalarippayattu experts. Phillip Zarilli, a practitioner and one of the few western scholars on KP and Elamkulam Kunjan Pillai an Indian historian from Kerala. both are recognized authorities on KP. they date the martial art at 11 and 12 century.

truth hurts.

[6arcsn1sky]

I said source, such as books, magazine articles, or websites, not information you need to type. All I need are those three sources, in order for me to believe you.

[angryaznman]

first of all, History of Chinese Martial arts: Jin Dynasty to the Period of Disunity, Martial arts Myths of Shaolin Monastery, Part I: The Giant with the Flaming Staff are boosk, , Spring and Autumn Annals of Wu and Yue, the Bibliographies in the Book of the Han Dynasty and the Records of the Grand Historian,

are ALL books and historical documents.

second, i dont care if you believe me or not. truth is truth, regardless if you believe.

[6arcsn1sky]

I see you got those books from Wikipedia. Honestly, stop using the site and use Google to do your research, or better yet, go to China and find the sources of Chinese martial arts.

[angryaznman]

actually i didnt. if you knew anything at all, you would realize historical documents get referenced by many. if wiki has got it, then good for them.

[angryaznman]

The first 2 men who became the very first Shaolin monks were already experts in kung fu. Shaolin kung fu came from them. ("History of Chinese Martial arts: Jin Dynasty to the Period of Disunity") Also, they found weapons in the monestaries of Chang'an. ("Martial arts Myths of Shaolin Monastery, Part I: The Giant with the Flaming Staff") Suggesting the monks already practied martial arts.

[6arcsn1sky]

Who's "they" that found weapons in monestaries at Chang'an and what dynasty were they dated?

[angryaznman]

a government during the Jin dynasty found weapons caches when they raided the monestaries.

[6arcsn1sky]

Oh, you mean the Red Army during one of their raids to take over the old and promoting Chairman Mao.  One thing, which Jin dynasty do you mean?

[angryaznman]

this has nothing to do with mao, learn how to read. LOL which? if i meant jurchen jin, i would have said so.

stop wasting my time. reference a historical document to counter me or stop whining.

grasping at me trying to convince you (like i care) or that i use wiki books (its called historical documents that many sites reference).

[6arcsn1sky]

Well, too bad others won't believe your claims, but that's their case. For one thing I know, the weaponry arts and shuai jiao were native styles to China. As for you, go to China and find sources whether kung fu and kalaripayattu aren't related to one another. To simplify what I'm saying, dig deeper to the root of the connections of the two art.

[angryaznman]

i dont care what indians or westerners believe. i only bother posting for overseas chinese.

haha 管你鸟事. dumbass.

[6arcsn1sky]

I see. You're a Chinese from the mainland. Well, dirtbag, try your best in persuading Chinese at the U.S.A., the Philippines, and places all over the world about your claims.

[angryaznman]

你懂中文, 笨蛋？哈哈哈!

i dont have to go and persuade. it takes me SECONDS to post a reply on youtube. and no, im not from mainland.

HEUNG GONG. they are not my claims, they are FACTS, from historical documents. your rants about books is retarded because id love for you to name me a book on a HISTORICAL topic that doesnt QUOTE historical documents.

truth hurts,

[6arcsn1sky]

Well then, my Chinky friend, since you post your comments and always get a negative from others, why don't you make a video of your claim? That way others would rather post an opinion.

[angryaznman]

i could care less if the responses are negative.

truth hurts.

[6arcsn1sky]

Just do it, and if users reply negatively, ignore them.

[nrittam]

So what is the chinese saying about martial arts ?

Are they saying, like tibet, buddhism also belongs to them ?

Damn shit, they can take bihar, and lalu as well.. we indians will only be too happy.

[angryaznman]

kung fu was documented in china as early as the zhou dynasty. (jiao li)

18 luo han hands was from 18 luo han monks.

5 animal styles was from Jueyuan.

tibet does belong to china. since the beg. of time? obviously not. the Tibetan Empire used to be one of the most powerful in Asia (Tubo) they had wars with the Tang Dynasty. this was reality.

just because they later lost to Yuan and Tibet has been Chinas ever since, does not mean China made up anything. Tibet IS Chinas through conquest.

[Blutroth]

does anybody know where i can train kalaripayattu in austria?

[xnopasaranx]

I am a wu shu practitioner and always wanted to see the system bodhidharma brought to the monks so long ago. Very impressive: And to all the haters who think their system is the best: It doesn't matter if chinese, japanese, or indian. It doesn't matter who invented it, who is studying the most original or traditional. Just concentrate on your training. The only person you need to prove to that your style is the best, the only opponent you really have to defeat is yourself you dim witted morons.

На мой взгляд калари - одно из самых красивых традиционных БИ. Особенно замечательна работа с оружием, которого много и разного: уруми, чорики (более известное название - катар или кутар), разнокалиберные палки, мечи и сабли.

[hSombre]

Самое интересное в калари то, что упражнения одни и те же (судя по видео), как на "исторической родине", так и в школах "на выезде".

[Waternocturne]

oldest martial arts in the world

[bhibatsu]

i know a 7th generation home-taught Chinese doctor, 1 of his forefathers was the private physician for the emperor of China, and his son does not want to learn.

so yes, you are fortunate.

[LalaRach]

This is amazing!! It's probably one of the most amazing martial arts I've ever heard about. It so graceful and smooth it almost looks like a dance

[Yakzur]

It's very interesting to see Kalaripayattu in the place it originated. Kalaripayattu practitioners seem to get a lot of trash talk because there are very different movements involved, but I think it's truthfully epic.

[jimanHK]

he has great abs:))

[jebus733]

Kalari people don't train their bodies like shaolin monks.

[vayenaka]

wow so that means that u practice both arts, amazing ( well any other way you couldnt know )

[Saziahh]

i'm sure you know lots..

[nafaidni]

Yes, we don't starve ourselves and turn ourselves into the living dead... Either way, Shaolin involves using plain, straight, rigid swords, or just hands.

None of this will protect against Urumi swords when they whip you across the face. This martial arts was designed to actually kill. While Karate and Shaolin is just a way to fight and exercise, this is serious...

[sidhyarth]

shaolin and kalari both are serious if you would know both better..shaolin has evolved from kalari

[MarkPilkus]

I agree, Shaolin is based off of the Indian martial arts because that's what Bodhidharma practiced when he brought his system to China in the 5th century.

[angryaznman]

LMAO no it isnt. the two men who were the very FIRST shaolin monks were ALREADY masters in kung fu.

also, martial arts historians have discredited the bodidharam myth.

[sidhyarth]

hahah good joke man wat a jerk

[only1me666]

Hahaha..Go kalaripayat..Im a kalaripayat student..Nd tht was just awesome..Am headed to kerala soon to learn more..Good job Dharmikam!

[Chonori]

Awsome!

[Uragan]

this master is of the northern part... in the south they are not as open to use their art as these guys

[Dharmikam]

Actually Guru Balachandran is a master of the Southern system of Kalaripayattu.

[jangear]

i doubt it that he is from the south, coz i seen the disciples doing low crouching moves and high kicks. this is one of many difference between the north over the south.

[vayenaka]

actually its the other way around if i recall correctly

[Azteka2007]

absolutely wonderfull.

That is a true master right there.

[indianmaluji]

i always wanted to learn =[

need to go back to kerala to do this lol
