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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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
