Kalaripayatu is a traditional martial art of kerala in which men women and children fight with each other with daggers, swords , spears and wooden rods. Ladies can fight with men and defend themselves. Children learn this from early childhood . The ferocity of the fight is really too much as seen in this clip. Here a seventeen year old girl defends herself from a man who is attacking her with a spear. She has only a small sword(urumi) and a shield to protect her. This from a demonstration in Calicut for students of Ngee Ann Polytechnic Singapore : kalari means school , payatu means fight
