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.

Great comment! The physics of human martial arts have been the same ever since the first two slammed into one another! Only thing different is that MA tries to perfect technuqie.

I never said I had a problem with anybody, I just said every group of people has had to develop their own martial arts, Martial arts are as old as man himself. There hundreds if not thousands of different styles that come from every group of people not just one person. The idea that all martial arts come from one place or that one nation has the most ancient form is one of the greatest lies ever told.

I do not remember the name of the reporter. But i watched on tv an report on martial arts from india and in this report they say this that the roots of martial arts are in india.

Says who? Keralites? Hindus? Pankration is one of the oldest martial arts recorded with statues, vases that are thousands of years old depicting pankration techniques. Look at Jim Arvanitis's martial art Pankration. He took Judo, Boxing, Muay Thai, Greco Roman Wrestling but resurrected the art of Pankration just by discovering statues and vases depicting pankration techniques. Boabom is the tibetan form of yoga and it's just old as Yoga.
