Together, it refers to the art of battlefield combat. Kalaripayattu is one of the oldest martial art which developed out of combat-techniques of the 3000 year old battlefield, with weapons and combative techniques that are unique to Kerala. • laripayattu includes strikes, kicks, grappling, preset forms, weaponry, and healing methods. Warriors trained would use very light, and basic body armor, as it was difficult to maintain flexibility and mobility while in heavy armor. It differs from many other martial arts systems in the world in that weapon based techniques are taught first, and barehanded techniques are taught last. • According to legend, Lord Parashurama, the sixth avatar of Vishnu, learned the art from Shiva, and taught it to the settlers of Kerala shortly after bringing Kerala up from the ocean floor. The Northern style is also known as, Vadakkan Kalari, and is generally regarded as the original, form of Kalaripayattu. This system places more emphasis on physical flexibility exercises rooted on the slogan Meyy kanavanam, meaning, make the body an eye. The Southern style is also known as Thekkan Kalari. Traditionally, it is believed to be a style of Kalaripayattu that is said to have been altered and influenced by Agastya. • According to another legend, Ayyappa, a war deity from Kerala, learned Kalaripayattu in the Cheerappanchira Kalari in Muhamma. • The widespread practice and prevalence of Kalaripayattu in Kerala began to decline in the 17th century, when the usage of guns and cannons became widespread. This also coincided with the European invasions into Kerala, after which, firearms began to surpass the usage of traditional weaponry such as swords and spears. In 1804, the British banned Kalaripayattu in Kerala in response to the Kottayathu War, a rebellion against British rule in Kerala led by the Keralite king Pazhassi Raja. The ban came into effect shortly after Pazhassi Raja's death on November 30, 1805, resulting in the closure of most of the major kalari training grounds in Kerala. Following the ban, many Keralite gurukkals of Kalaripayattu resisted the ban and continued to teach Kalaripayattu to their students in secret. The resurgence of public interest in Kalaripayattu began in the 1920s in Thalassery, as part of a wave of rediscovery of the traditional arts throughout southern India and continued through the 1970s surge of general worldwide interest in martial arts. • In January 2021, the Government of Kerala announced the opening of The Kalaripayattu Academy in Kerala's capital, Thiruvananthapuram, under the management of the Kerala Department of Tourism. • References in Popular Movies • Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023, English) • Indian (1996, Tamil) • Asoka (2001, Hindi) • The Last Legion (2007, English) • Yoddha (1992, Malayalam) • Urumi (2011, Malayalam) • Baaghi (2016, Hindi) • Commando (2013, Hindi) • Veeram (2016, Malayalam-Hindi-English) • Padayottam (1982, Malayalam) • Oru Vadakkan Veeragatha (1989, Malayalam) • Puthooram Puthri Unniyarcha (2002, Malayalam) • Mamangam (2019, Malayalam) • The Myth (2005, Chinese) • • TAGS: • #iist #martialarts #students #kalarippayattu #ncc #iks #thiruvananthapuram #kheloindia #nationalgames #fighting #battle #combat #kerala #agasthya #movie #spirituality #discipline
