CVN Kalari House At EastFort

Kalari Payattu, the age old martial arts form of Kerala has a unique blend of physical, culture, self-defence and martial techniques. This indigenous martial arts form is said to be created by Saint Parasurama.

It's name Kalaris is named after the schools where training is to the students by their Guru's.The Kalaripayttu system is divided into four sections :

• Melthari (Body Control)
• Kolthari (Training with wooden sticks)
• Ankathari (metallic and heavy wooden weapons)
• Verumkaiprayogam (unarmed combat)

Now in Kerala, there are few centers where they still continue teaching Kalari payattu. One of the known  place is C V N Klari. 

In Trivandrum CVN Kalari is close to West Fort Trivandrum. Here they practice Kalari Payattu in the purest form, and they do treatment. Many people with aches, or dislocations come here for oil based treatment.

If you're in Trivandrum, you can walk in their place. You require permission to see their Kalari or even see the demonstration. This place has appeared in National Geographic Magazine and other big publications.

All across Kerala there are other similar places where they have packaged this Kalari and Ayurveda centers. Here's one center at Parasala.
