You are doing a great job because no Indian could start an online kalari still now though the art is originated in India(and until now it was my belief that kalaripayattu was only practiced in India). We needed an online kalari so much because to learn this art we had to travel all the way to a particular state " Kerala" in India and it is not possible for every Indian. Thanks a lot.
Hi Nilesh and thank you kindly for your comments. You are absolutely right of course - Kalari originated in Kerala and is predominantly practised there. Recently however schools have opened up in other parts of India and students of my Gurukkal have been sharing Kalari internationally for around 30 years, with schools in France, UK, Germany, Latvia, USA, Italy, Holland, Australia, Japan and Poland. Ah yes and our school in Thailand too of course! Hope you continue to enjoy the channel and we speak again soon. Adam
There is now a place in pondycherry where you can train kalari, at kalarigram very close to auroville was there 2 weeks ago was the best experience I've had and I've been to 11 countries and visited cultures. Myself is from kerala but born and raised in Sweden
This form of self defense is much more reliable than guns and bombs...it trains an individual in both mental and physical agility...thanks for the video!!
I would have to agree with you Nishita. Ultimately the goal of Kalari training is not physical agility - tho of course we gain this - the goal is EKAGRATA - natural single pointed focus - then we are more successful in whatever we choose to do. Stay well!
Vidyut Jamwal is my inspiration, started learning kalari, completed this whole training video 1 waiting for more, from Warangal, Telangana, thank you so much sir.
Tum log sirf baate karo,aur Dekho apni hi cheez hame gairo se sikhni par rahi hai,agar Mai kalari jaanti to,kam se kam Apne country k bacchho k lia, RUclips me ya fir kaise v zaroor usko aage barhati,tumlog sirf baatein hi karo🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Amar. Yes we are doing our best to share this knowledge and teaching whilst remaining fully respectful of the art. I am grateful for your comments. Adam
Yes of course. That's great Pavan. How did you find lesson 1? You'll find lessons 2 and 3 also available free.... To progress onto lessons 4 to 96, please JOIN our channel. Adam
Kalaripayattu is extremely effective for whole body development, weapons knowledge and health- Thank you sir for the wonderful class, it's really very helpful for beginners 👍🏻🙏🏻🚴♀️
Thank you sir for your kind comments. Yes we have sought to make this accessible to those with little or no previous experience of Kalari as well as to those with more experience who may want to focus on smaller details. Have you seen the new memberships we have created under the JOIN button? These will give you access to all 96 of our full length lessons.
Thanks for this video, really I got goose bumps to watch this ancient indian martial art, am from from karnataka neighbor to kerala, and also we can find the roots of Kalari in rural karnataka, proud to see this and decided to practice this from your episodes thank you NAMASTHE 🙏
Namaste Anillumar - very good to read your message. Yes, it is a great heritage that comes from Kerala (and indeed rural Karnataka); something you can be very proud of. I hope you enjoy this lesson and please, look also at lessons 2-5 these are also available now for free here on the channel. Let me know if you have any questions and you can send me a video to my WhatsApp if you’d like ...
Thank you so much! When I saw Kalari for the first time 10 years ago in Pondicherry, I felt amazed and knew I wanted to learn - I'd never seen anyone move like that before. Later I studied Kalari in Chennai and felt so enlivened!, Then when I got to the US I couldn't find a teacher and gave up. I have been hoping for an online course for many years now and I am so grateful to have found you.
Very good to hear from you! That’s great that you were able to practice Kalari and YES you have found your new Kalari now! I hope you continue to learn with us. I have several US students enrolled in the course. Please contact me via WhatsApp and I’ll send you a discount code to access the lessons through our website! I also offer 1-to-1 private classes via zoom if that interests you AND we are planning an immersion course in May to happen in USA, I think in 2 locations. Speak soon, Adam.
I am a fighter, but personally I wanted to learn kalari..... I didn't knew where to start. Thankyou so much sir, you have really made my ambition true. Please keep on teaching kalaripayattu. Thankyou once again sir 😄😄
I have practiced yoga for a long time, and now I see a connection to the Kalari martial arts. Respectfully, I would like to learn more. Thank you for sharing this connection with us who live so far away from a India.
Thank you kindly for your message. Yes, we hope to bring Kalari to those who are not able to learn face to face and to teach Kalari as a martial art, not a performative one as so many schools now do. Should you wish to you can reach out to me on whatsapp: +44 7405 928215. Whether you want to send me videos of your practice for feedback or just to discuss Kalari. Thanks
I just found out about kalaripayattu today, did this first video, & this is definitely what I needed! I just started a 200 hr YTT course & have been interested in ayurveda. Then I came across this, so it's like everything is synchronizing in a beautiful way :)
Shaya! Great to hear from you! Yes Kalari has remained hidden in the shadows for a very long time but it’s lessons are as valid today as ever. Very pleased you’ve begun our training. Please feel free to reach out to me whenever you need either here or on WhatsApp. All the best and keep in touch! Adam
Wonderful. Sir please dont get discouraged by the people who question a sincerity of a martial artist, people have no idea what it takes to become a true martial artist no matter what martial art it is. Keep going. All the best.
Thank you kindly Arjun. I have not replied to you immediately but I assure you I read and appreciated your word when you sent them. I hope you are well and continuing to enjoy the videos we are putting out. All the best, Adam.
Hi Vivek. Thanks for getting in touch. Lessons 1-3 are available here on YouTUbe. Lessons 4 to 100 are available on our school site. You can sign-up through our webpage www.kalarilab.org. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Sathya! So very happy to read your message this morning. Yes, I realise that for many it is not easy to find a teacher in Kalari. I do hope you enjoy the course! Please reach out on whatsapp if you have ay questions. Adam
@@KalariLAB Yes Sir. The lessons are amazing and very detailed-informative too. Yeah, I understand for a beginner, 1x speed is the best. I took 1.5x speed because my body is fit as regularly I go on free-hand exercise at home for about an hour and rigorous cycling in evening, so it's absolutely fine for me. Just wanted to know, Everyday-1 lesson or for how many days one lesson should be done. That would be of great help, Sir Adam. Aviraj
Sir , my name is kunal . And i am kalari student online .And i am also a Indian and i know you are teach kalaripayattu a ancient india martial art.Thanku so much sir yo are a good person
Absolutely great video tutorials Adam..!!! Thank you for making this. Wish more people join your online classes. Appreciate the fact that some part of such valuable videos are made free.
Thank you kindly for your comments and I am very pleased you are enjoying the content. We shall keep producing 2 video a week for this channel and in time hope to make all the videos available for free and in full. Stay in touch, Adam
I am indian but I never get any sources of learning kalari I hope I would be able to really learn this here ... I have few questions like how much should I practice each lesson before moving to another ? And if you have any advice for me to improve better I will really appreciate that 😄 I already appreciate your work you are doing such a great thing by introducing kalari to some like us over all over the world 🇮🇳
Thanks for your comments Anjali and I am very happy to hear you are enjoying the course. I shall make a video to explain this clearly as several other students have been asking... Let me clarify: Pls do each lesson 2 or 3 times on consecutive days. Then take a days rest. Then move onto the next lesson. In this way you can progress at-a-rate-of 2 lessons per week. Please do not go through the course faster than this but take time to let your body condition as you practice. Stay in touch and let me know how you get on with future lessons! Adam
Hi Mandy and thanks for your comments. Just yesterday I received a set of videos from one of our students. He has just completed level 1 (lessons 1-16) and his form and postures are both excellent. We have had no face-to-face learning together, entirely online. If you wish I can show you his videos as testimony that yes, you can learn Kalari online! :))
Thank you kindly. You know I do not really speak Malayalam just know some of the commands from what I have heard - It is very good to receive this correction form you - Thanks!
So happy to have found your program, been looking for an in depth kalari training and yours definitely provides it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge Adam!
Good to hear from you and happy you’ve found us! Please do each lesson 2/3 days and then a day of rest. You can reach out to me on WhatsApp whenever you need me to review your forms. Adam
Yes the first thing we do is go to the Poothara and take a moment to settle, then we make a 2nd offering to Guruthara and a a 3rd to give thanks for the knowledge of the weapons, bought to Kerala by the Aryans. I think it is important to remember however that Kalari is not a Hindu practice. It is practised in Kerala by Hindus, Muslims and Christians (and by those of all faiths as well as those with none). With this in mind, I did not want to saturate the practice with prostrations to Gods that many students may not believe in. Instead what I say to my students is simply take a moment to settle - bring together the two hands - thus uniting Ida and Pingala Nadis and allowing the body's male and female energy to join (please see 01.20 - 01.40 in the above video). We all have our different beliefs as to how we see the essence. Personally I am neither Hindu, Muslim or Christian but I take time every day to connect to the essence before and after I practice. I think what is most important when practising Kalari is that we offer our practice to the earth from which we came, after all it is not OUR practice, we are simply channeling it. I hope this makes you feel better about how I am teaching Kalarippayattu. Best wishes and Namaskaram Adam
@@abhinvijayasingh My teacher is Gurukkal CM Sherif. He was University champion in his youth and later was one of those most responsible for spreading Kalarippayattu to Europe and the west in the 70s and 80s. His Academy (Kerala Kalarippayattu Academy) was chosen to represent all of India at the "World Martial Arts Forum" held annually in South Korea for almost 10 years in a row. So yes, I think we can trust the lineage is a good one ;) Still - thank you for your comments
They I think in this case is rather too ambiguous. All Kalari have their own way of engaging in honouring the Devine, the lineage of teachers, the space of practice, the weapons used and the serpeant energy known as Kundalini. Many Kalari are run by Hindu Gurukkal and have many Gods statues and shrines inside however many are also run by Gurukkal of Muslim, Christian and other faiths. I teach my students that it is up to them how they engage with this energy but what is important is they take time to relax and let go as best they can before and after training. Through this practice/ritual there is an act of consecration that occurs and this brings the individual closer to balance.
Hi Atharv, good to hear from you. I was training under Sherif Gurukkal and what used to be Kerala Kalarippayattu Academy. Great to hear from you! I miss Kannur very much and hope to come back as soon as it is possible. Stay well. Adam
Thank you kindly for your comments. Certainly I feel very at home in India though of course I am from another land. I hope soon to return to Kerala. I hope you will all find peace in this very difficult time.
That’s great! So happy you have been able to start learning with us :) you’ll find the first 4 lessons are free so please enjoy them and then you can join the channel to access the rest of the course. Keep in touch! Adam 👍
Hey Adam, you're doing a wonderful job. Kindly tell me the how many counts we need to do for Aswavadivu. You have shown two ways of doing it so let us know how many times each.
Afzul - thank you kindly for your comments. With all postures to start with I would suggest holding for 3 breaths. However - if there is any pain IN the joints, please do not hold for this long and contact me directly through the forum to discuss. Here is the link: discord.gg/nBvfRC9
I am very grateful that i found this lesson. I appreciate your effort and i think you are doing great job. I am gonna train from tomorrow for sure. God bless you guys🤗
Aftab. Very pleased to hear that! Yes we are making this for YOU! please do each lesson 2x and then take a day of rest before moving onto the next lesson. Feel free to message me on WhatsApp if you’ve any questions . Adam
Thank you so much respected Sir 😊 I was searching these kind of training online to teach this my girl child so that she can defend herself against some cruel bad boys .

Good to know that this ancient art form which uses animal postures and stances is going to live and travel the world. Will start with your online classes and hopefully I would visit the country of gods - kerala. Much love and respect your way.
I have been looking to learn KALARIPAYATTU for a while now and just this morning on a poornima i discovered your channel and started with the first lesson! thanks a lot for the class, looking forward to practice with you in the following classes. GRATITUDE for sharing the ancient knowledge of the indian martial art :)
Premila - my apologies for replying to all 3 of your messages so late - I have been a little unwell but back on my feet now..... Are you still progressing though the course - I do hope so! Adam
@@KalariLAB Hi Adam, Hope you re doing fine now? Sorry for the delayed response, i had been resting for a while due to a muscle spasm that happened during the yoga practice, almost getting back to normlacy. And yes i intend to continue the Kalari lessons tomorrow onwards. Meanwhile i was listening to your anatomy lessons on myofascia:)
@@premilashetty7506 Good to hear from you and pleased to know you are feeling good again. May I make a suggestion: Firstly when you return to Kalari tomorrow, please do not push too hard. Take your time when doing the warm-ups (Lohars) and the leg swings (Kalugal) and if necessary pause the lesson and take a little extra time. Then proceed through the lesson and continue not to push. Try to do all the practice keeping as relaxed as you can. Also, Have you access to Ayurvedic medicine? Can you order MURIWENNA oil? If so, you can apply this to the body before practice for 1 week. Pls messageme on whatsapp if you have any Qs, Adam +66657698891
@@KalariLAB Yes Adam, i shall do that. will note down your whatsapp number to get in touch:) I have been on Ayurvedic meds for the spasm and have been getting abhyangam also done every week, which all has been helping recover faster for sure. i am taking it easy with some basic poses in yoga as well. SHall not push too much:) I have been using Dhanvantharam oil for a while now. will surely buy the one which you have suggested. Thanks a lot for the guidance.
@@premilashetty7506 Yes let us speak on whatsapp and I can help you make a training program, if you wish. Dhanwandaram is also a good oil. It is however slightly cooling. Was this recommended to you by a Doctor? If not I may suggest to mix it 50/50 with Pinda for a 'training oil'. The Muriweena can be used for 1 week and then move onto the 'training oil' as the muriwenna will nourish the body more fully after injury. Speak soon.
That’s great Rahul! Pls try to do each each class on 2 or 3 days and then take one day of rest before moving onto the next lesson. Keep in touch and let me know if you’d like me to check any of your forms 💪 Adam
When white guys come and talk about any particular subject from our country then only Our people accept ,they don't listen our people 😂😂 because of colour n ego
I think there are many excellent teachers of Kalari in Kerala and also in other parts of India. I expect many of the most knowledgeable practitioners remain hidden in Kerala. I would like to think that after 20 years of practice, I am in a good position to teach however, whether my skin is white, brown, black, orange, purple or yellow. I appreciate your comments Anand but I think our students are more interested in learning Kalari than anything else. Good day.
Very good to hear from you Vishnu! I realise it's not easy to find a find teachers outside Kerala so I'm so glad you have found our school. Keep me posted on your progress please 🙂 Adam
Good morning Sir. It is very interesting to see you are teaching Indian Kalari martial art.You are really great sir👌👌👍👍. I want to learn it through online videos . Please upload all Kalari videos.
Akesh - great to hear from you and very pleased to hear you're enjoying the channel. If you JOIN you'll have access to the whole course, which we now plan to extend to 108 lessons.
Thank you so much Sir🤗,I always wanted to learn Kalari but thought I'll nvr b able to do bcz I thought I wasn't flexible..and yea finally..Gonna start from this one..hope I'll become better day by day...😊
Hi and thank for your comments. Yes you know - the flexibility will come. It is all about regular practice and don't push too hard too soon. At first just repeat the leg swinging exercise - do it 5 or 6 days a week and rest on the other 2 - soon you will see big changes! GOOD LUCK! Adam

Namaste I just started following the videos and doing the course. I did lesson 1 for 3 days then took a break and did lesson 2. I am a 53 years old female who doesn't work out much. I am thoroughly enjoying these exercises and very enthusiastic about it. I wanted to practice for a couple of weeks before I join the classes. Please guide

Keep doing the good work brother. As for us even after being Indian it's hard to understand the Kerala language. You made it handy. I always wanted to learn it. God bless you...
Thank you Abhishek for your comments! Yes, our aim is to break down the practice into more easily understandable units. Certainly learning in the traditional way is excellent when face-to-face with a teacher but when learning online, it is important to see the way the forms are put together. Keep training and stay in touch! Adam
Thank you so much sir, for your hardwork ☺️😊. I really wanted to learn kalari but because of this pandemic it was becoming to find a place to learn. I was doubtful if I could start doing it now or not and things... But now I can learn from here. ❤️ Thank you so much ☺️
Akhila, very good to hear from you and I'm delighted to hear that you have found a way to practice Kalari. Please work through our 96 lesson course doing each lesson 2 or 3 days and then take a days rest. Keep training and stay in touch!
Appreciated work master..hope in future all the people will adopte this art..It's not about self-defence it's about peace ☮️ like your background sound
Most appreciate your comments and good wishes. I think for sure many more will be benefiting from Kalari in future years ;) Hope you can stay with us as we bring all the body forms online.. Adam
@@iraavanan6775 I would be very much interested in that. Let's schedule a time for a 1-to-1 and take it form there. You can contact me on Telegram or Whatsapp +66657698891.

Namaste... Good video and teaching. One thing I would like to add is that slapping of inside thighs should not be done by females. That has a meaning. I can understand that in Kalari's many teachers are teaching that. But when you will come to know the actual meaning of this, then you will understand my point.
Thanks for your comments and appreciate your opinion. However I would still instruct my female students to make the 'end of form' prostration by slapping the thigh, however with the left hand and slap the left thigh (opposite to men).
wish i could afford your school, i would honestly go, but thats why you have youtube videos i guess :D thanks for giving us poor folk a chance to learn what we can learn without a sparing partner :)
Yes indeed, certainly you can learn a great deal from just working alone on the forms. Weapons I can also teach you if we can meet?! Perhaps you can attend one of our upcoming retreats in India? 💪
Awesome video Thank you very much The way you show or teach is so easily understandable way So great It's an innovative thinking kalari online Awaiting for more great videos
Buenas tardes, tengo 57 años, estoy descubriendo este arte marcial, he leido un poco sobre él y me parece muy interesante. En realidad, todo lo que proviene de India, de su ancestral cultura, me parece fascinante. Me encantaría someter a mi cuerpo a esta disciplina y obtener sus beneficios. Así que he visto que tiene varias clases. Sólo he visto el inicio de esta primera. Y quería agradecerles su generosidad con estos vídeos. Voy a intentar seguirlos con los subtítulos en español, ya que no sé inglés. Me encantaría que por favor me diera algunos consejos sobre esta práctica. Muchas gracias desde España.
Is it possible you can write to me on my email kalarilab@gmail.com? Then I can use the translate to read your message - I’m afraid I don’t read Spanish! Thanks 🙏
Hello Adam, what is the best way to approach these wonderful videos as an absolute beginner? Do we do each video everyday for a week then go to the next video? Thank you so much for this. 🙏
Hi Scarlet! Thanks for your message and I’m pleased to see you want to learn Kalari. My advice is to do each lesson twice and then take a days rest. This will mean you go through 2 lessons a week and at this speed your body can suitably strengthen for the exercises/forms ahead. You can reach out to me at any time on WhatsApp, should you wish to get feedback on your practice. +44 7405 928215 ⭕️
this is very interesting that interest in Kalari has grown to such an extent. I first visited the original Kalari dojo in Trivandrum in 1973 and was captivated immediately. At the time I had already practised Muey Thai and Wu Shu and I have always always planned to return to learn with more time . Your videos have really innervated again my interest despite a slight vertebral scoliosis. May I ask the exact location of these great videos . regards, Richard Field
Very good to hear from you Richard and I’m pleased to have reignited your interest in Kalari. These films were made in Thailand, Koh Phangan where I used to be based. We’re now based in Puglia, South Italy. There we have built an earthen kalari and will begin courses from this September. My WhatsApp should you wish to reach out. Adam
You are teaching very well. It looks very beneficial. It is helpful for us. It is very beneficial not only for physical improvement, but also for mental improvement and spiritual growth. I express my gratitude to you and request you for teaching us in this way. I'm thankful to you....

Wonderful Job. Also would be great if you could add on the breathing pattern while performing and also the number of repetitions . For leg swings it is mentioned but would be nice if you could add for warm up and postures too to realise the potential to the fullest.

I have practiced yoga for a long time, and now I see a connection to the Kalari martial arts. Respectfully, I would like to learn more. Thank you for sharing this connection with us who live so far away from a India.
Thank you kindly for your message. Yes, we hope to bring Kalari to those who are not able to learn face to face and to teach Kalari as a martial art, not a performative one as so many schools now do. Should you wish to you can reach out to me on whatsapp: +44 7405 928215. Whether you want to send me videos of your practice for feedback or just to discuss Kalari. Thanks
Love and support from Kerala💞💞💕 (mother land of kalaripayattu )
Thank you brother. I do miss it!
Best kalaripayattu training video 👍 dandavat pranam 🙏🙏🙏 thanks for promoting kalari.🙏 Hare Krishna Hari bol 👍🙏😀
Much appreciated ☺️
I just found out about kalaripayattu today, did this first video, & this is definitely what I needed! I just started a 200 hr YTT course & have been interested in ayurveda. Then I came across this, so it's like everything is synchronizing in a beautiful way :)
Shaya! Great to hear from you! Yes Kalari has remained hidden in the shadows for a very long time but it’s lessons are as valid today as ever. Very pleased you’ve begun our training. Please feel free to reach out to me whenever you need either here or on WhatsApp. All the best and keep in touch! Adam
What is that 200 hrs course... Can you plz tell
Hi Shaya! Just wanted to check in - are you still practising Kalari?
Wonderful. Sir please dont get discouraged by the people who question a sincerity of a martial artist, people have no idea what it takes to become a true martial artist no matter what martial art it is. Keep going. All the best.
Thank you kindly Arjun. I have not replied to you immediately but I assure you I read and appreciated your word when you sent them. I hope you are well and continuing to enjoy the videos we are putting out. All the best, Adam.
@@KalariLAB I am doing good sir, thank you. Off course enjoying each of your videos.

This was my very first lesson to Kalaripayattu.Thankyou for your guidance.
Pranam - Thank you kindly for reaching out. Great to have you in the class! :)
A great job, Sir. Thanks a lot for these videos. I started the practise from today itself, with video-on in front of me in 1.5x speed.
Thanks a lot !!
That's great to hear Aviraj! But please take your time. 1x speed is fine! ;) Stay in touch and let me know how you find the first lessons... Adam
@@KalariLAB Yes Sir. The lessons are amazing and very detailed-informative too. Yeah, I understand for a beginner, 1x speed is the best. I took 1.5x speed because my body is fit as regularly I go on free-hand exercise at home for about an hour and rigorous cycling in evening, so it's absolutely fine for me. Just wanted to know, Everyday-1 lesson or for how many days one lesson should be done. That would be of great help, Sir Adam.

Excellent job doing..
Many thanks
I am indian but I never get any sources of learning kalari I hope I would be able to really learn this here ... I have few questions like how much should I practice each lesson before moving to another ?
And if you have any advice for me to improve better I will really appreciate that 😄
I already appreciate your work you are doing such a great thing by introducing kalari to some like us over all over the world 🇮🇳
Thanks for your comments Anjali and I am very happy to hear you are enjoying the course.
I shall make a video to explain this clearly as several other students have been asking...
Let me clarify:
Pls do each lesson 2 or 3 times on consecutive days. Then take a days rest. Then move onto the next lesson.
In this way you can progress at-a-rate-of 2 lessons per week.
Please do not go through the course faster than this but take time to let your body condition as you practice.
Stay in touch and let me know how you get on with future lessons! Adam
@@KalariLAB Thank you

Is this the first step for a beginner and will I be able to learn online watching your videos as I am fully dedicated to learn
Hi Mandy and thanks for your comments. Just yesterday I received a set of videos from one of our students. He has just completed level 1 (lessons 1-16) and his form and postures are both excellent. We have had no face-to-face learning together, entirely online. If you wish I can show you his videos as testimony that yes, you can learn Kalari online! :))
Sir I have been doing kalari by watching your videos it's so helpful....thank you for a wonderful videos lots of love
Really pleased to read this. Hope you are continuing to practice.
Great job.👌👌👌 just a small correction on Malayalam command: 'Valathu nere' = lift right leg up
'Edathu nere' = lift left leg up
Thank you kindly. You know I do not really speak Malayalam just know some of the commands from what I have heard - It is very good to receive this correction form you - Thanks!
So happy to have found your program, been looking for an in depth kalari training and yours definitely provides it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge Adam!
Good to hear from you and happy you’ve found us! Please do each lesson 2/3 days and then a day of rest. You can reach out to me on WhatsApp whenever you need me to review your forms. Adam
Hi, you directly Jump to movements, no offerings to Gods, teachers ? Isn’t that the first thing they usually do in Kalari’s ?
Maybe he's teacher was not good ones
Yes the first thing we do is go to the Poothara and take a moment to settle, then we make a 2nd offering to Guruthara and a a 3rd to give thanks for the knowledge of the weapons, bought to Kerala by the Aryans.
I think it is important to remember however that Kalari is not a Hindu practice. It is practised in Kerala by Hindus, Muslims and Christians (and by those of all faiths as well as those with none).
With this in mind, I did not want to saturate the practice with prostrations to Gods that many students may not believe in. Instead what I say to my students is simply take a moment to settle - bring together the two hands - thus uniting Ida and Pingala Nadis and allowing the body's male and female energy to join (please see 01.20 - 01.40 in the above video).
We all have our different beliefs as to how we see the essence. Personally I am neither Hindu, Muslim or Christian but I take time every day to connect to the essence before and after I practice. I think what is most important when practising Kalari is that we offer our practice to the earth from which we came, after all it is not OUR practice, we are simply channeling it.
I hope this makes you feel better about how I am teaching Kalarippayattu.
Best wishes and Namaskaram
Adam
@@abhinvijayasingh My teacher is Gurukkal CM Sherif. He was University champion in his youth and later was one of those most responsible for spreading Kalarippayattu to Europe and the west in the 70s and 80s. His Academy (Kerala Kalarippayattu Academy) was chosen to represent all of India at the "World Martial Arts Forum" held annually in South Korea for almost 10 years in a row. So yes, I think we can trust the lineage is a good one ;) Still - thank you for your comments
@@KalariLAB you are doing a great work do it brother 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️🙏
@@KalariLAB thank you for this
Thank you for spreading this ancient art form to the World. 🙏
Thank you Aloukik! Step by step :) hope you continue to enjoy the channel! Adam
They worship something along with light ,
They I think in this case is rather too ambiguous. All Kalari have their own way of engaging in honouring the Devine, the lineage of teachers, the space of practice, the weapons used and the serpeant energy known as Kundalini.
Many Kalari are run by Hindu Gurukkal and have many Gods statues and shrines inside however many are also run by Gurukkal of Muslim, Christian and other faiths.
I teach my students that it is up to them how they engage with this energy but what is important is they take time to relax and let go as best they can before and after training. Through this practice/ritual there is an act of consecration that occurs and this brings the individual closer to balance.
Wonderful job. May the whole world know about it through your works
Sir , In kannur,Kerala from which kalari did you learn this?

I started Kalari 5 and half years ago and still learning🙃

@@KalariLAB Hi Adam,
Hope you re doing fine now? Sorry for the delayed response, i had been resting for a while due to a muscle spasm that happened during the yoga practice, almost getting back to normlacy. And yes i intend to continue the Kalari lessons tomorrow onwards.
Meanwhile i was listening to your anatomy lessons on myofascia:)
@@premilashetty7506 Good to hear from you and pleased to know you are feeling good again. May I make a suggestion: Firstly when you return to Kalari tomorrow, please do not push too hard. Take your time when doing the warm-ups (Lohars) and the leg swings (Kalugal) and if necessary pause the lesson and take a little extra time. Then proceed through the lesson and continue not to push. Try to do all the practice keeping as relaxed as you can. Also, Have you access to Ayurvedic medicine? Can you order MURIWENNA oil? If so, you can apply this to the body before practice for 1 week. Pls messageme on whatsapp if you have any Qs, Adam +66657698891
@@KalariLAB Yes Adam, i shall do that. will note down your whatsapp number to get in touch:)
I have been on Ayurvedic meds for the spasm and have been getting abhyangam also done every week, which all has been helping recover faster for sure. i am taking it easy with some basic poses in yoga as well. SHall not push too much:)
I have been using Dhanvantharam oil for a while now. will surely buy the one which you have suggested.
Thanks a lot for the guidance.
@@premilashetty7506 Yes let us speak on whatsapp and I can help you make a training program, if you wish. Dhanwandaram is also a good oil. It is however slightly cooling. Was this recommended to you by a Doctor? If not I may suggest to mix it 50/50 with Pinda for a 'training oil'. The Muriweena can be used for 1 week and then move onto the 'training oil' as the muriwenna will nourish the body more fully after injury. Speak soon.
How many malayalees here ✋
I think quite a few ... would be good to hear from you all here :)

That’s great Rahul! Pls try to do each each class on 2 or 3 days and then take one day of rest before moving onto the next lesson. Keep in touch and let me know if you’d like me to check any of your forms 💪 Adam
When white guys come and talk about any particular subject from our country then only Our people accept ,they don't listen our people 😂😂 because of colour n ego
I think there are many excellent teachers of Kalari in Kerala and also in other parts of India. I expect many of the most knowledgeable practitioners remain hidden in Kerala. I would like to think that after 20 years of practice, I am in a good position to teach however, whether my skin is white, brown, black, orange, purple or yellow. I appreciate your comments Anand but I think our students are more interested in learning Kalari than anything else. Good day.

One thing I would like to add is that slapping of inside thighs should not be done by females. That has a meaning. I can understand that in Kalari's many teachers are teaching that. But when you will come to know the actual meaning of this, then you will understand my point.
Thanks for your comments and appreciate your opinion. However I would still instruct my female students to make the 'end of form' prostration by slapping the thigh, however with the left hand and slap the left thigh (opposite to men).
wish i could afford your school, i would honestly go, but thats why you have youtube videos i guess :D thanks for giving us poor folk a chance to learn what we can learn without a sparing partner :)

Buenas tardes, tengo 57 años, estoy descubriendo este arte marcial, he leido un poco sobre él y me parece muy interesante. En realidad, todo lo que proviene de India, de su ancestral cultura, me parece fascinante. Me encantaría someter a mi cuerpo a esta disciplina y obtener sus beneficios. Así que he visto que tiene varias clases. Sólo he visto el inicio de esta primera. Y quería agradecerles su generosidad con estos vídeos. Voy a intentar seguirlos con los subtítulos en español, ya que no sé inglés. Me encantaría que por favor me diera algunos consejos sobre esta práctica. Muchas gracias desde España.

Namaste Sir, I want to learn Kalari. I have accidentally got this video on RUclips. I appreciate your decision to take classes online. It's very useful to many person. Thank you so much sir. You are my guru. Sir What's the best time to learn Kalari, in evening or morning,
Jomole, welcome! Very happy you have found us.
Either morning or evening is fine. Morning is better if possible. Make sure you practice out of the sun and don't push too hard! Do each lesson 2 or 3 times and then take a days rest. And pleas keep in touch! Adam
