HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 апр 2016
- A diverse, multicultural melting pot, Sri Lanka is home to many different religions, ethnic groups and languages. Yet, for all the diversity and change that Sri Lanka has seen over the years, there remains one constant that we were keen to find out more about and that is the ancient Martial Art of Angampora.

I like that the teacher is humble in saying that he's still learning, and he emphasises "teaching humanity" first
I wanna learn this love from Cambodia 🇰🇭 love Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
Thank you for showing the world that there are so many ancient art forms still practiced every corner of the world. Great work.
I'm glad that our Sri Lankans preserved this until now since the colonial time when It was in the danger of its eradication due to British Rulers.
Proud from sri lanka 🇱🇰
Yep, great culture!
I'm a Sri Lankan .But today angampora is going to extinct. Because greedy people is going to sell this art. Worship to Sri Lanka with my respect and loyalty .I'm think this adults are protect and give ti next generation.
No
Not extinct 🇱🇰
Angampora is based on Buddhism and ancient sinhala people.
God don't you dare to insult to my country, i am proud to be a Sri lankan.

Hope she is not talking to Gud !!?!!
What a unique martial art. A school would do well in the US. I would like like to see what techniques overlap with other systems.

This is a reference to the Skyrim video game for those who might not understand. It's an internet meme.
Great job, nice video!
Let's go 🔥! These guys are a bunch of badasses 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
The hand-to-hand techniques particularly the blocking reminds me a bit of Karate
Everyone Know That Karate Is A Recent Art Japan Adapted From Okinawa.
Sri Lankan People Know That Angampora Is In Folklore For More Than 33,000 Years. Even Before Written History. The Great Practitioner "Ravana" Was Also Lived 5000 Years Ago.

British Empire tried to destroy ALL this Amazing ancient colture .
No one talks about How F…n long these people live
Angampora is Very dangerous martial art ❤
Does not match background music its not local
wow same moves , both kalaripayattu and angompora are very similar
kalaripayattu is the origin of martial arts , but martial arts have evolved throughout the years . No offense but i think mma is a better martial art than kalaripayattu.
@SHADOW ABBA no doubt
Angampora and kalaripayattu both were came from human angampora is srilankan kalaripayattu is an indian dont tell me about kalaripayattu im already to known about kalripayattu from india many deferens during between angam and kalari
@@blackmumba7482 Wrong.
Ok guys it looks excellent, but it must carry forward with great spirit than commercial purposes .
British will pay what they done to these innocent people
Sri lamka ගැම්මක් තමා...❤️🔥
That's interesting that this ancient martial art is called Angampora. "Angam" means body in Tamil and "Por" means War or fight so essentially "body fight"
what is the meaning of "Anga" in tamil?
@@DarshaniSK "Angam" means "body" in Tamil. "Por" means" war" in Tamil so putting the words together would translate to physical combat. The only part that doesn't make sense is the "a" at the end of the word. In Tamil if you add an "-a" at the end then its a question. Ex: "hand-a?" would mean "is it a hand?" "Car-a?" would mean "is that a car?"
@ICHIGO That' s interesting! Seems to me like a lot of Sinhalese words are Tamil loanwords + "a"....which makes sense! If you add "a" after a word in the Tamil language it translates to "is that right/correct?" Ex. bus-a (is that a bus?) car-a (is that a car?)
@ICHIGO loanwords means there was originally no word for it so it was borrowed from another language and incorporated into the language. Yes, Sinhala has loanwords from Tamil, Sanskrit, Portuguese and Dhivehi. It's not about origin. That's hilarious! That's like saying Sinhala has so many Portuguese words so Sinhala originates from Portugal. *LOL!*
Wrong.
Ankam in Tamil is "limb" or "part"
E.g. "Divide into 5 parts" would be "5 angamaka pirithu eddungal"
Pora, I believe, is similar in meaning to "Poruthal" or "dislocate"
So it's dislocation of the limbs .. or disarming the weapons.
Por is war - but I don't believe that is the case here. This Buddhist and spritual martial art is about defense than fighting or glorifying war - I believe it's about quickly and efficiently suppressing the aggressor and restoring peace - even to the aggressor.
Indian state Kerala and Sri Lanka are seperated only by a narrow stretch of Indian Ocean. So similarities are natural. I think Kalaripayattu and Angampora are if the same origin.
Angampora brought to sri lanka by malabar Kerala fighters.
@@samithnilanga9943 no angampora is made by king maha sammatha manu
@@samithnilanga9943 Angampora is from king Ravana
well there is a big different especially the spiritual parts, most Kalari practitioner are based on Hinduism but the spiritual aspect of Angampora is based on Buddhism.
Looks like Kalaripayattu. I don't want any debate about which on is older. but both of them look similar.
lol ass this is 5000 years old martial art, your kalari born in 15th century
@As@hI gaming
yar. I said I dont want to know about its timing. thanks for your Information. But I dnt need it
India is copied from Sri Lanka. martial arts, ayurveda and more and more bailas
Yah but we Indians don't give any Disrespect to other countries. that's why as a Indian I am also tolerating you.....
Look man I really dnt want to know about this. Your Country is best in your heart and my country is best in the Heart of Indians like me. and I don't want to know what India copied from where. I am just saying that both look similar
The peaceful symbol of Nilmini's pendent was stolen by Hitler correct? I remember seeing this symbol on lanterns during poya celebrations.
Means you know nothing about the symbol Swastika.
Its a Suawastika. Goes the opposite way to a Swastika. Different meaning.
Both the Swatstika and Suawastika are historically peaceful and well intended
Hitler didn't just take the Swastika, the Nazi Ideaology basically adopted the idea of an "Aryan Race" (Which doesnt even exist), and the Aryan culture used Swastikas, which is why the Nazi Ideology used it.
Nice

3:56?
are you sure it is 2500 year old , if we go through our Vedas , and the stories than this martial would be 5000 year old , and kalaripayatu is even more than 5000 years.
I agree. But western world won't be able to process and digest it if we say so.
Yes It's more Than 5000 Years Old.( I Researched.And Found Out According To The Folk Lore It's More Than 33,000 Years Old. At That Time King Was "Maha Sammatha Manu").It Says Ravana Was One If The Greatest Practitioners.Btw It's Sad To Seen Indians And Our Sri Lankans Are Fighting Over This. Yes We Were 2 Different Countries Since The Past. But We Are Neighbors right? So Arts Could Be Similar.

lol plyn ynn
Looks similar to Kalaripayattu which is practiced in Kerala.
+Solomon Sunder "Kalaripayattu" originated in 1362 AD or relevantly 300 BC onwards introduced by the "Ezhavas" in "Kerala". "Angampora" was an ancient art which was practiced by the primitive "Siv Hela" "The Four Primitives" "Yaksha, Raksha, Naga and Deva" Suriyawanshika (Sun Dynasty Blood tribes) more over 50, 000 years ago (could be even more ancient) in the island which they are ultimately knows as the "Sinhala" generations King Ravana (2554 - 2537 BC) himself was a grand master which also signify how ancient this war art is initially trees and rocks were worshiped spiritually an later on empowered with the arrival of Buddhism. Clearly Angampora pre-date Egyptian martial arts which are considered among the mural paintings between 3000 - 2500 BCE in Egypt; sadly most westerners doesn't even know about the Hela existence or Angampora or even where Sri Lanka is in the world map.... Angampora is actually the worlds ancient martial art... while the British killed many grand masters in the colonial period an was banned to practice.
+Nitger mofo I didn't dispute its antiquity. I just said that it looks similar.
But that is a legend, and only one of a few others. Kalaripayyatu also has legends placing the art in antiquity or even created by Purusha. How do we know? It has also been said that Angampora has influence from Indian arts. Could it be? How do we know? What we do know is these are very old arts and while similar, are still unique to the cultures practicing them.
Apparently the Persians, Greeks and everyone learnt warfare only from the Sinhalas according to your pet theory. You don't even understand that Sikhism came around only in the 15th Century.
There is no need for a debate here since you clearly have no idea about the origin of terms like Sindh, Hind, Hindustan, Indus, Farsi, Parsi or the relationship between Avestan, Sanskrit.
Heck, you even disregard that Buddha was born in present day Nepal and got enlightenment in Bihar by your 'no influence' term when Sinhalese are the main practitioners of Buddhism in the subcontinent.
None of us here denied that the art could've originated in Sri Lanka. The only divergence is your insistence that the art originated in Sri Lanka and that any other possibility is a blasphemy. Doesn't sound too different from the neo Nazi claims that Jesus was White and is an European God while he was clearly a Jew born in the Middle East according to their own texts.
Nope.. we learnt a lot about warfare from the Persians and I am not ashamed to say that. There is a reason the Vedic texts call the Asuras (primarily Persians) as mighty in warfare. Neither do I disregard the Greek influence. A lot of people in Western parts of India do look European as well.
I never said it couldn't have originated in Sri Lanka. But the conversation does show the small pond mentality of a couple of Sinhala chauvinists like you. No wonder external powers still play games on your lands.
Does she know what that Necklace represents?
+Omar Lopez Swatika is a original Buddhist and Hindu symbol that represent Infinity ...
The word ‘swastika’ is a Sanskrit word (‘svasktika’) meaning ‘It is’, ‘Well Being’, ‘Good Existence, and ‘Good Luck’. It has around 12 000 years of history.
