Before Freedom Kerala is ruled by Thiru ,Kochi, Malabar(Kozhikode) Kings. They trained their soldiers with special martial art of kalaripayattu. It needs lot of patience and long time to study the all techniques and it is the root of all kind of modern martial arts. Kalari is honored trained every where in old Kerala. One who teach the art is known as Kalari Aasan. The British banned the art due to the serious attack from the kingdoms. Though modern karate and Kung fu is popular ed every where Kalari is limited to some area. But it still exists in Kerala. Due to its techniques it is called Vadakkan (North) and Thekken(South) Here is a link of Kalaripayattu http://youtu.be/PKDTF8t_HMQ

I am also. Kalaripayattu needs long time to set the mind and the body. The Massaging with Kalaris special oil is other part of its treatment.
