Kalari Martial Arts


7 minutes of some amazing Martial Arts by my friends in Kerala, South India. It's from a very, very rough video - remember those? filmed by one camera at a time, so picture quality is rough. But you should be able to geta feel for the martial art form itself.

Kerala is definitely in India! I'M FROM KERALA. I think they mistook "Kerala" with "Karachi", or something...Because if they made a geographical error, not a spelling one, they're retarded. Kerala is in South India, at the very tip. How the hell could someone mistake that for being in Pakistan?

Well, the weapons they use are flexible and long. It's not possible to stab with those. It would be like trying to thread a string through a needle. Though when using short weapons, there is stabbing.

Erm, saying the Bodhidharma is not from India is like saying Karate did not come from China.In Malayalam, "bodhi" means brains, intelligect, etc. This is a common term for most languages in India.

Dharma... I am not sure there is a Malayalam term for that, but in North India, dharma is duty.

Bodhidharma would mean "Intelligence, duty" in most parts of India. Still think the Bodhidharmadid not get his teachings from India?
