Kalari Training
Considered the oldest and most scientific martial arts in the world
The kalari, the traditional training space for Kalarippayattu, is scientifically and spiritually designed to enhance physical movements, mental focus, and energy flow. Its dimensions, typically 42 feet in length and 21 feet in width, provide a 2:1 harmonious ratio, ideal for linear, lateral, and rotational movements. Built slightly below ground level, the kalari maintains a cool temperature, promotes grounding energy, and aligns with traditional energy principles (vastu shastra). The east-facing orientation enhances vitality, while the sacred poothara symbolizes focus and sanctity. Combining ergonomics, biomechanics, and energy conservation, the kalari offers a holistic space that blends art, science, and philosophy to elevate martial training.
