An ancient warrior tradition of Kerala, preserved for over 3000 years. Now learn it LIVE, from the comfort of your home.
Kalaripayattu challenges your body to move, respond and progress in ways ordinary exercise rarely does. Don't just work out. Learn what your body can do.
From mastering your movement to making movement your weapon. Scroll to assemble the path to mastery.
Begin with Kalari Vandhanam, foundational body conditioning, flexibility and mobility practices that prepare the body for training.
Learn Vadivu (animal postures), Chuvadu (steps), balance and fundamental body movements that form the base.
Progress into leg raises, kicks, turns, jumps and movement combinations, developing coordination and agility.
Enter traditional wooden-weapon training, beginning with staff-based techniques, footwork, and controlled handling.
Progress through shorter wooden weapons and increasingly precise combinations, developing speed and responsiveness.
Progress conceptually into the traditional metal-weapon phase where foundations of timing and control become vital.
Explore the principles of unarmed Kalaripayattu, bringing together movement, timing, balance, awareness and control.
The mastery of self. The apex of the pyramid is completed, grounding the physical practice in spiritual discipline.
