Question by Powerstar: Did anyone study kalaripayattu – an Indian martial art?
kalaripayattu is an Indian martial art which is developed in Kerala(a state in India). It has things like ‘MARMA KALA’ which is a very delicate and precise form of movements using the fingers of hand and leg to make the opponent loose his speech,make him unconscious,make him paralyze. It is quite an interesting art which also has weapon training. Has anyone here heard about this or trained in this. Please share your thoughts and views of this art

I wouldn’t mind being introduced to it. I’ve read up on it and if I’m correct, it’s one of the oldest martial arts in existence?
Don’t they practice it forms with a sword that includes jumping attacks?
