  • I see that Silambam influenced the far East weaponry arts such as Shaolin Kung Fu and Kobudo.

  • it is the origin of Kung Fu, Bodhidharma was from this area of India, he trained the Shaolin monks.

  • why is it so hard to find video's of good silambam practitioners.

    i seen people in real life at the festivals who do this martial art more stronger and confidently, but i can't find any good video's online

  • Where can I get this on DVD?

  • @anhkhoinguyen Sauce?

  • Where it all started. INDIA !!! :)

  • the liberty and the instinct of moves feel in that vid...beautiful ancestral martial art...respect

  • the intro is like a minute long, wtf

  • In the south Indian state of Kerala, Bodhidharma is remembered as both a kalari master and as the "father of Han-Chinese Shaolin Fist".[50] The Yi Jin Jing also credits Shaolin kungfu to Bodhidharma. All this would make him an important influence on Asian martial arts in general. However, both the "attribution of Shaolin boxing" to Bodhidharma and the authenticity of the Yi Jin Jing itself have been discredited by modern historians as a part of popular fiction and not grounded historical fact.

  • @UFMD1

    The association of Bodhidharma with martial arts only becomes widespread as a result of the 19041907 serialization of the novel The Travels of Lao Ts'an in Illustrated Fiction Magazine.[52]

    Bodhidharma and martial art isnt fact retard its a "folk" tale that was bullshitted like it was history and it all came from a damn fiction magazine..before the 1900s the only thing Bodhidharma was known for was preaching CHAN/ZEN....haha your origin of martial arts came from a fiction magazine lmao
