Sreepathy CVN Kalari

Kalarippayat (kalaripayat, kalarippayattu, kalaripayatu) is an ancient physical, cultural and martial art of Kerala, which was in prevalence from time immemorial. It aims at giving a practitioner of the art, perfect control over his body balance, flexibility, stamina and speed, and perfect neuro-muscular co-ordination, an ability of the body to react instinctively to the senses. Not only does Kala

rippayat makes a student adept in unarmed combat but also inculcate and promote perfect health, it also enables the student to defend himself with confidence from physical onslaughts from enemies

Sreepathy C.V.N. Kalari started at Cheruvandoor near Ettumanoor in 1970 when kalarippayattu was not very popular in central Travancore. It was significant that the travails faced by the family which themselves devoted for the service and propagation of kalaripayat and kalari medicine. The singular initiative taken by Sreepathy CVN Kalari to stage public performance of kalarippayat and to conduct kalari treatment camps and seminars brought it public reputation.
