Kalaripayattu (pronounced as Kalarippayatt) is a martial art, which originated as a style in Kerala, southern India (North Malabar). The word kalari first appears in the Tamil Sangam literature (c. 300 BCE to 300 CE) to describe both a battlefield and combat arena. The word kalari tatt denoted a martial feat,. It is considered to be one of the oldest surviving fighting systems in still existence in the world. It was originally practiced in northern and central parts of Kerala and southern parts of Tamil Nadu.
Scripturally, the earliest mention of Kalaripayattu is found in the Rig Veda and Atharva Veda. In addition, the Tamil Sangam Literature provides instances of the art being a popular method of settling disputes between Indian nobles during the ancient times. Hailed as the front-runner of all martial arts, Kalaripayattu (pronounced as Kalaripayatt) has been described as 'an exhilarating method of keeping a man fit and at the same time offering a way of defending himself against an aggressor'. The word, Kalari is derived from the Sanskrit 'Khaloorika', meaning training ground; the name is a conjunction of two words, Kalari and Payattu. The former means gymnasium and the latter, a duel. According to the Rig Veda, "Animals are, as quadrupeds, on a par with-and notsubordinated to-men, remembered in prayers and eulogies" (Gonda). Inspired from the movements of snake, lion, horse and other animals, Kalaripayattu imparts skilled techniques displayed with élan while engaged in a fierce combat. Without a doubt, such mesmerism is inherently quintessential of the Indian classical traditions. The celebrated art form of that uses physical, mental and perspective senses naturally encapsulates good health and wellness in a uniquely systematic manner.
