You can’t make fun of things that people used back then. Like how people make fun of kung fu but back then it was a real martial art used in combat and warfare.
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] Sources-wikipedia
This is similar to Kalari(Kalaripayatu), the oldest martial art in the world and that includes weapons as well. Kalari is from the southern state of Kerala, India. Maybe Srilanka and Kerala have had some relations in the past because this martial art is very similar to Kalari.
All the people who make fun of this martiol art...go and read sri lankan history how they defeated empires...sri lanka civiliasation goes back to 3rd centuary b.c..while most of countries out their living in jungle tribes.

British couldn’t win a single war with Sri Lankans. (Check the history.) All wars were nightmare to British. The main reason is this martial arts. British cheated and used fails info with Sri Lankan ministers and caught the kingdom.
No you won’t be able to lean entire thing. They can attack pressure points and time your death. They can time your death from one day to one month. English banned it to avoid uprising of srilankan clans during colonial times. This fighting method died during that time. What you see is just a presentation
Same reason they took away all of the dances from the Native Americans Indians. People around the globe hate the indigenous of this world. It reminds them that they don’t belong on this planet I guess ooooor that section of land? I don’t know 🤷🏻♀️

Likely why it was outlawed, the British tended to standardise a lot of thing including foreign fighting strategist movement and military combat training. It was likely done to adapt the Sri Lankan’s to a more efficient fighting doctrine. It looks more like a theatre ballerina fighting dance showing how people would have fought but slowly.

Go refer traditional dancing styles in Sri Lanka, you will find fluid martial forms, with weapons and supporting instruments (drums etc). Now that's what we call real ancient art.
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.
