Kalaripayattu. 
One word that encapsulates an entire art form which exists as the marriage of self-defense, yogasanas, protection and individuality. 

To look at the entire word is to take it in it's entirety as one motion. To look at from two different angles is to seek the understanding behind the amalgamation of martial and art.
Kalari quintessentially means, a school, a centre of learning. A place of education and acquisition of knowledge. Payattu in essence translates in to the meaning of the practice of martial and self defensive arts. 

There is an ancient believe of reconnecting with the Earth by training in a pit dug in to the ground to harness energy and power from the Earth to assist with learning this old art form.  This ancient art shows a deep appreciation for the natural planet and an anthropomorphic attachment to the animal kingdom that we share it with.
