Kalari (or Kalaripayattu) is an ancient form of martial arts originating from Kerala, India. It is considered one of the oldest and most comprehensive systems of martial arts in the world. Kalari training is not just about physical combat; it integrates techniques for health, physical fitness, discipline, and mental focus. Here's a detailed breakdown of what Kalari training typically involves:

Basic Principles of Kalari

  • Movement and Posture: Kalari involves intricate movements, stances, and strikes, aimed at developing agility, flexibility, and strength. The stances are often rooted in animal forms, like the tiger, elephant, and crane, each symbolizing different aspects of martial skills and behavior.

  • Balance and Coordination: A core aspect of Kalari is to cultivate balance and coordination, as the martial artist must move quickly and fluidly between positions and stances while maintaining control over the body.
