KalariKendram is dedicated to teaching Kalaripayattu, an ancient Indian martial arts method that is the foundation of all martial arts systems.KalariKendram with a Kalaripayattu temple was created in 2008 in the National Capital Region (NCR) Delhi to present this age-old legacy to a wider audience with the goal of imparting training while maintaining the basic ideals of this tradition at its foundation. At KalariKendram, people think Kalaripayattu is not just about training the body but also the mind; it is not only a martial arts practise but also about establishing a disciplined state of mind and, thus, a way of life, as acknowledged by the Indian Council for Culture Relations (ICCR). Besides from traditional Kalaripayattu martial arts training, KalariKendram also provides Kalaripayattu-based action choreography and personalized lessons for dancers, Yoga specialists, and athletes who want to explore the numerous dimensions of this martial arts style in relation to their own practicing. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF KALARIPAYATTU The name Kalaripayattu is derived primarily from the words "Kalari," which refers to the training space where the practice takes place, and "Payattu," which refers to the method of practicing. With strong roots in Kerala's social and cultural life, this form of martial arts was once considered a way of life for many people. This form's presence in the Vedas definitely demonstrates its existence for over 3000 years. The basic foundations of this martial arts technique may be found in Dhanurveda, often known as the Indian Science of Warfare.Kalaripayattu is an ancient Indian martial arts discipline that attempts to enhance the body and mind through a sequence of forceful, flowing movements. It was originally intended to combat wildlife. Many of its postures and movements are claimed to be influenced by animal movements and stances such as the Lion, Elephant, Wild Boar, Snake, and so on. Fearing that awareness of such a technique would spark an uncontrollable rebellion, the British prohibited the technique of Kalaripayattu. During this time, anyone found practicing or teaching Kalaripayattu experienced discrimination. Despite these constraints, an effort to preserve this old technique was made, which was guarded by a few dedicated Masters and performed in secretly. As a result, it survived and was restored after 1947. With solid ideals at its core, Kalaripayattu has continued to benefit following generations and is now quietly enjoying a resurrection. THE RELEVANCE OF KALARIPAYATTU TODAY While traditionally practised by warriors, many others have reaped the advantages through the years, which include but are not limited to enhancing the balance and flexibility of both body and mind. Kalaripayattu training enhances awareness of and synchronisation between the various parts of the body, in addition to speed and agility. Furthermore, Kalaripayattu is now regarded not only as a martial arts form, but also as a source of inspiration for practitioners of various movement-based expressions such as dance and theatre, who incorporate it into their art production.With its focus on holistic development, Kalaripayattu training can enforce discipline and improve focus in youngsters as young as 6-7 years old. Kalaripayattu is a martial art that parents interested in investigating for their children should definitely explore because it has the ability to lead to the child's whole growth. Students, both children and adults, learn to develop knowledge in different types of motions and techniques through a step-by-step procedure, and with time, a higher level of perfection within each of these. Because Kalaripayattu training involves discipline and constant efforts, it inspires discipline in the practitioner. As a result, in increased flexibility and strength, frequent practice increases concentration and can help reduce stress, anxiety, and tension. KALARI AYURVEDA Ayurveda - Ayur (life) Veda (knowledge) is a broad and varied body of information that comprises a series of practices - use of herbal powders and pastes, particular diet, and kalari massage – to ensure physical harmony. According to Ayurveda, the body is regarded as an universe unto itself, with all of its individual components considered indivisible. Here, the elements of earth, water, fire, wind, and ether interact to form the human body, a microcosm of the universe.Kalari Ayurveda is a branch of Ayurvedic knowledge that focuses on the study of vital sites (marma) in the body. Traditionally, all advanced Kalaripayattu students were taught about the various marma points – muscular, vascular, ligamental, bone-related, and joint-related, to name a few. Kalari Ayurveda can cure and repair injuries related to these important sites by using beneficial massages. BEYOND JUST THE MARTIAL ART The goal of Kalaripayattu practise was to train soldiers while developing other talents that would make them excellent human beings. After all, who wouldn't love a person who respects his instructors and parents, contributes to society with his compassion, doesn't harm anyone, and knows how to survive a real attack! Aside from the primary goal on building synchronisation between the mind and body, there is also an emphasis on understanding the functioning of the body through the various medicinal and therapeutic techniques that are important to Kalaripayattu training.
