Kalari Martial Arts

Back


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.

U retard do not know any of the basic facts about kerala. 1.Christians are the major economic power in kerala. 2.politics in kerala is vertually controlled by Christians. 3.Christians manage educational institions than any other community in kerala. 4.40 % of the Rea estate,67 % of the Jewellery and 72 % of the Textile business in Kerala is run by keralites. Do u need any more evidence to prove the dominance of Christians in kerala.

This maybe the reason why the British never really managed to conquer Kerala. Over the entire British rule, Kerala always had its own king. Annoying foreigners... desist trying to kill our culture.

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.

Yes, I see... I am more familiar with the Katana. This weapon is used more like a whip than a sword?

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 Bodhidharma did not get his teachings from India?
