Заррилли Филип Б. Каларипаятту — южноиндийское боевое искусство, йога и аюрведа (на англ. яз.)
Kalaripayattu is a martial art which originated as a style in Kerala. The word kalari first appears in Sangam literature to describe both a battlefield and combat arena. The word kalari tatt denoted a martial feat, while kalari kozhai meant a coward in war. Each warrior in the Sangam era received regular military training. It is considered to be one of the oldest fighting systems in existence. It is now practiced in Kerala, in contiguous parts of Tamil Nadu and Delhi. It was originally practiced in northe and central parts of Kerala and the Tulunadu region of Kaataka. In Tulunad region it is often called as Garadi. The Sri Lankan martial art Angampora has also got strong similarities with Kalaripayattu, which explains the extent of patronage this art has enjoyed in the past.
