Warm-ups from a 3,000-year-old martial tradition
Kalarippayattu, often called the mother of all martial arts, traces its roots back over 3,000 years to the Vedas and originated in Kerala, in southern India. This course focuses specifically on the northern Arappukai style and its warm-up foundations.
What's covered
- Breathing exercises including Nischala Pranayama and techniques such as Ooordha Hasta, Prasaaritha Hasta, Kasheru Vikasana, Kasheru Samkochana, and Parshva Vikasana
- Twenty-one Kalarippayattu flexibility exercises, delivered across two sessions
These exercises exist for a practical reason within the tradition: they build the flexibility and strength that let practitioners avoid fatigue during weapon training and combat, gradually conditioning the body the way a Kalari warrior's body is conditioned.
Who it's for
Suitable for practitioners at any level looking to build a genuine warm-up routine rooted in traditional Kalarippayattu practice, whether as a standalone flexibility program or preparation for further training.
