The C.V.N. Kalari at Edakkad in Kozhikode offers a unique and immersive experience in Kalaripayattu, Kerala's ancient and revered martial art. Known for its holistic approach that blends body control, therapeutic treatments, and combat techniques, Kalaripayattu is practiced here in its purest traditional form. The Kalari (training arena) is nestled in a tranquil environment that provides the perfect backdrop for this intense and disciplined art.
Under the guidance of the esteemed Sudhakaran Gurukal, a master of Kalaripayattu and an accomplished Marma physician, students as young as seven are introduced to this rigorous discipline. The training encompasses not only martial skills but also massage and Marma treatment, aiming to develop both physical prowess and healing abilities. With dedication, students can master the fundamentals of Kalaripayattu within one to one-and-a-half years.
The C.V.N. Kalari also extends its expertise beyond its walls, offering demonstrations and workshops for television, movies, dancers, theatre artists, and athletes. These sessions provide a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Kerala's martial tradition.
