    After seeing the comments I can see how close minded these people are. Without even searching about this martial art form they are just assuming that this got banned because of it's incompetence.
    Guys British government banned this because they were afraid of this art form. Sri lankan angampora fighters completely put down armed British soldiers with this martial art. So don't judge the book by it's cover...

    Angam techniques were used by the locals in their resistance against the early colonial occupants of the island's coastal areas.[18] The British, who occupied the whole island by 1815[19] (and who had full control of it by 1818[20]) issued a gazette banning the practice in 1817 with harsh punishments for flouters, paving the way to its decline.[13] The gazette was issued by Sir Robert Brownrigg, "figuring that a populace trained in hand-to-hand combat would be more difficult to control."[21]
    The martial art re-surfaced from an area known as Beligal Korale, around Kegalle, subsequent to the end of British colonial rule in 1948.[1] The Jathika Hela Angam Shilpa Kala Sangamaya, the highest governing body of the art today, was established in 2001.[13] Sri Lanka's Ministry of Culture and the Arts has also taken action to support the survival and preservation of angampora:[8]

      No. Things like this get banned because it encourages a community a sense of belonging, a sense of identity and participation automatically involves organisation.
      That's where revolts come from.
      People forget that in the 1800s, people were using guns already.

      Whether it is the Sri Lankan Tamils ​​(those of Jaffna peculiarly) or, to my great astonishment, the Sinhaleses (first time I encounter that kind of hyper-patriotic but unverified uttering made by non-Ceylonese Tamil Sri Lankans), it is often you who copy or claim to be the true bearers of purely Indian cultural elements.

    Practice thrived during Sri Lanka's medieval period when Bhuvanekabahu VI of Kotte's successful campaign to conquer the Jaffna Kingdom included fighters who excelled in this art.[13] Descendants of a heroine named Menike or Disapathiniya who lived around this time is credited with the art form's survival in the ensuing centuries: dressed in male attire, she is said to have defeated the killer of her father in a fight inside a deep pit known as ura linda (pig's pit), during a historic fight.[1][14] Angampora fighters also fought alongside the army of Mayadunne of Sitawaka in the 1562 Battle of Mulleriyawa.[15] Tikiri Banda aka Rajasinha I of Sitawaka, who succeeded Mayadunne, became a faithful sponsor of this art.[12]

    It is Said, that Shaolin Kung Fu was introduced to Chinese by a South Indian Tamil monk called Bodidharma (He was a Budist monk from south India).
    So, This art was probably thriving in South India before the Chinese Kingfu.
    The above art angampora and kalarypayattu (it is the ancient art from South India).It was carried from one generation to another Among Tamil poeple and later it was popularized by the Kerala people.
    The angampora and kalarypayattu is kind of Same art practising by the Sri Lankans.

      Shaolin Kongfu has nothing to do with Master Bodhidharma. The ancestor of the Bodhidharma founded Kongfu was the content of Chinese martial arts novels.
      The Bodhidharma ancestor spreads the Dharma.

    As a sri lankan, this reminds me a story i heard when i was a kid. The final killer movement of angampora is said to be a shot to a specific area near ear, after that shot some blood gushes out of the ear and enemy literally dies within few days. It's not just "fighting", it is so much more than that.
