Of course you are grateful. The theft and this cheap publicity based on made up crap will bring in the tourist as you occupy out tamil Eelam Island... Have you ever wondered why you people look more like bengali s?
@@nl9459 not sure what you mean ? Each of our lives are important to us all. None of of had a choice as to where we were born,who we are born to and whether we have parents,bad parents or anything. In fact we don't have a choice whether we are born. Just be happy that we are alive instead of creating silly ideas like British ,jewish Muslim Buddhist or anything,we are alive and enjoy life.
@@vijayafernando1 well good point.. If you are born in Japan. You don't become Japanese do you. I see a country whose natives were branded as terrorist and have been dispersed from their homelands. Nearly 1.5 million in canada. Same in Europe same across the rest of the world. Taking over our Eelam island home is bad enough but then to take over all cultural references modifying them with made up history is both ridiculous and disgusting..... But hey now I can hear what you'd say next.... We are not responsible for this that and the other... But how could it be true... Why then does ever 4 Eelam tamil have 1 sinhalese soldier in their homeland? Why is your military almost 100% sinhalese? So enough of the condescending platitudes. Stay true to your begali /Portuguese roots and let us live in peace in our homelands. BTW did you know half of you langue is Portuguese derived and is your surname?
Sri Lankas own Angampora is one of the most dangerous martial arts in the world. British banned Angampora in Sri Lanka when they ruled here because they cant beat this.
@@nikkhiljayatunge5994 Cant you read ? There is three words "one of the" read it again. ලංකාවේ එකෙක්ද උඹ කාලකණ්ණියා රටේ දේකට හිනාවෙන්ඩ බලන්නෙ මකබෑවියන්කො වෙන රටකට 🖕
Angampora is not only a a way of fighting,it's just a part of it. It has so many aspects. Meditation, kundalini awakening, spiritual awakening, healing any desease ( any means any, unless you have really bad karma ). One of the main reasons why British found hard to invade Sri Lanka was we used to fight using Angampora.
@@KoliyaKoralegedara-xn2fy come to sewthawaka and i can show you what is the real angampora is. If you want to learn this you have to traning more than 10 years
This was a lost art kept hidden during the British rule. It is coming out more and more now. Even I as a Sri Lanka did not know about it until recently. Great video. Thanks.
First of all , I would like to say a big thanks to Johnny for bringing out this hidden Gem .......Sri Lankan Government has to promote this ancient wonderful Martial art on urgent basis.........This art is very close to " Kalaripayattu " from Kerala ........ How rich our ancient cultures are .......How Sofisticated we are even in ancient times ......WOWWWWW
These martial art style were used for centuries to defend Sri Lanka from Indian invasions, Dutch invasions, Portuguese invasions & British invasions. British were never able to conquer Sri Lanka through war. They were only able to conquer SL via a political cue. Eg: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Mulleriyawa
@He Man Looks like you know nothing of the historical relationships between Sri lanka and Cholas...have you at least heard of Chola king Elara and his defeat to king Dhutugemunu?
@He Man if Cholas were great Sri lanka should be tamil country by now..but it is not 75 percent majority Sinhala Buddhist. Speak facts. Not empty emotional words.
@He Man yah.. And when we stopped the LTTE His head was half blown and was hiding in a ditch shitting his pants. If LTTE was roling our asses I don't know why they were hiding only in 3 districts in the north🤣🤣
The real art of Angampora lost its existence a long time back, the British made damn sure that it would never review again. It is a very tragic story, many people protected the art with their life. It was only passed down among a few family bloodlines and in an ironic secrecy. Slowly many aspects of the art began to fall out (since some successors were incapable and non-deserving to practice the art) and eventually, what you find today named as Angampora is a very small part of the actual art and heavily subjected to reformations.
Johnny, for you to explore this means you are a true traveler. this is a very rare thing even sinhala people do not know much about. thanks you for bringing this to light
Great intro to this once lost martial art and a great description. As you rightly said, to practice Angampora is a rare opportunity even locals get. Keep up the good work Jonny!
This is something us srilankans can be extremely proud of.On the other hand someone who is trained in a single art doesnt do that well in the modern day competitive stage.Thats why i like to see a well rounded fighter with may be BJJ / Wrestling back ground with striking (Mui thai/kickboxing) experience trying their skill against a traditional martial artist.
Thank you Johnny,,Sri Lanka must thankful to you as you have showed this anciant martial arts heritage to the world.Even most of the Sri Lankans are not aware of this art
I have met Srilankans. They have beautiful women. They are relatively close to us in the horn of Africa. I would encourage them to become Ng this back into their culture!
Very nice and informative vlog! As a Sri Lankan who was never interested to know about Angampora is learning and appreciating about it through this video and comments. I hope to see you do more interesting and unique videos like this in future!
Angampora has a long history. It was practiced both by people and monks too. It is more of a spiritual martial art. It was practiced in caves long time back because there were many invaders to ancient ceylon. It was prohibited by the British because it became a great threat for their exsistance. Anyways thanks Johnny for bringing us this. ❤️💪
yes, Angampora is said more than 3000 years old. Its just amazing that Angampora existed in Srilanka even before King vijaya and Buddhism came to srilnaka.
This is similar like Kerala (Indian ) martial arts Kalaripayattu.Using Urmi with shield and Val payattu. Super performance. With Love. A Kalaripayattu warrior from India 🇮🇳
I knew you would find your way to experience the ancient Angampora martial Art, as you thrive to experience off the beaten path. having said that, like any other martial art, Angampora is ancient and it's very spiritual, in recent times many young Sri Lankans have shown an interest in learning this and hopefully, they will continue to keep this respectful Art of fighting alive for a long time.

Non of the european nations were able to completely colonize Sri lanka though they invaded all other coutries in south and South east Asia till 1815 Sri lankans gave the throne to British without War because they all wanted to get rid of the Late King Sri wikrama Rajasinghe because he was so cruel. WHAT I WANTED SAY IS THAT FOR ALL THESE YEARS ANGAMPORA PLAYED MAJOR ROLE IN KEEPING US UNDEFEATED
johnny boy...... thank so much for this video.i am a huge fan and love your all the videos.i am a sri lankan (from bandarawela,close to ella)live in FL, USA.....
Some of people think the Kalaripayattu and Angampora are same. but it isn’t, I know the Kalaripayattu and Anagampora are looking similar to eye. But they are different; different techniques, different culture and different history. You could say Karate and judo are the same when you look at it that way.
Machan as far as i know angampora came from Kalari background! But our ancient people were so talented enough to make a different martial art system for Sri Lanka own. Its the angampora! Many guys argue we are doing Kalari. Some of the swords use in angampora such as strait blade sword, foldable strap blade sword is in kalari too. But its not, Adopted some techniques from kalari and ancestors were damn talented to make unique system.
Another beautiful video Johnny. You are luckier than us enjoying while discovering amazing places in Sri Lanka. Thanks for the videos we enjoy them a lot specially during the lockdown (London) Stay safe! Dilini
Thanks Johnny bai, for showing case Srilanka ethics martial art. Which is most similar to Kerala's Kalaripayittu and ANGAPORE... ENJOY YOUR day in 🇱🇰 ❤️❤️
Now only you start experiencing the Sri Lanka. The more you stay you will experince things that even we have not experienced as Sri Lankan. Recommending to go Cave hunting is Sri Lanka one of the unexplored thing in Sri Lanka.
If you think you foreigners could kick someone in their butts who knows Angampora. I don't think it is real Angampora or the person is a real Angampora guy. 😂
Angamora , a traditional martial art that was practised in Sri Lanka for many years ago . This beautiful art has been lost by the modern day youth . Credit goes to those teachers who practised this art ,thought them to their children , grandchildren even during the time of colonial era ban . Thanks to the dedication of those grandmasters master's the art is alive . The army Angamora stadium has given life to this beautiful art .the Colombo university art division has come up with a unique idea with traditional music . The programme with rupawahini a few years ago was amazing .the tourist board must tie up with these institutions to bring this art to life . People like channa and other professional artist with their lost art costumes , for sure would add value . I did watch an Indian traditional martial arts programme , I think it was called " kallady . The two traditional arts in one stage . Well , should be nice to watch .
I watch your videos often and appreciate it very much. I would like to note this as a fact and not as a critique. Ancient martial arts is not a show that people show you. It is a form of warfare used only to defend Buddhism and my country. Also, this ancient martial art was never passed on to other nations. (Just a fact). I like to tell a little story. During the last dynasty there was a warrior called Levuke. He was like a devil to the invaders who came to my country (during the Portuguese or Dutch invasion) but the people who were personally jealous of him plotted to kill him. According to legend, he did not retaliate when attacked. He did not strike with a single finger. This is because he and all the warriors swear not to use martial arts for the sake of the country or for anything other than to preserve Buddhism. I would like to point out that such sacred art is not sold in the weekly market. The real Angam Guru is still secretly living with the methods of fighting. The Portuguese and the English were so frightened that they forbade anyone to keep a sword in a Sinhala house. I really like and appreciate your channel. Thank you
I dont know "angampora", but reason they do bolck attacker from out side because attacker may have knife or gun. (see this video they do block from attacker's right side, then the attacker cant see you and attacker cant use the knife or the gun) if you try to block an attacker wrong way(as Christina did leg kick), then attacker can kill Christina since she is opened to the attacker.
It has some resemblance to Filipino stick fighting which I studied for some years as part of martial arts training. The woman's Kata was extremely close to Okinawa Shorin Ryu Kata, in fact there is one that is almost exactly like her's. We use the long bow exactly as he demonstrates. The whip and shield is unique although we have a chain that is used. We do Kendo instead of the club fighting. The two guys fighting has some resemblance to Wing Chung hand fighting. We have an exercise that we stand shoulder to shoulder and practice pulling the other of balance. They had you learning an outside block and arm capture with joint break. Those moves are in Jiu Jitsu which we learned along with Wing Chung and Shorin Ryu. We studied old school only a mouth and groin guard all on concrete with no gloves. We also studied combat style, not sport. I'm smiling thinking of the 15 years I studied officially which at that point it for life. Wouldn't trade any of it. Incidentally women learn kicking much faster than guys they have a nature round house that is learned in a couple lessons, its the hips. Her long legs are an actually disadvantage as shorter legs and arms are quicker due to length. I will look more into this martial arts to learn some moves from it. The video is extremely interesting. Thanks Johnny!

Angampora is a traditional martial art in Srilanka..It's old more than 30000years ago..But King Rawana develop this martial art..This martial art is old than all martial arts in the world..and Angampora can see only in Srilanka..actually now we can only see 3% remains from this martial art..Because British people realize this will be v dangerous against for them..So they kill all the Angampora teachers and all the people who know Angampora..Not only that then they bring all the books that written about Angampora to England..then they banned from Srilanka to train or teach in Srilanka..Before this martial art did not teach to everyone..they teach also secretly..they didn't teach to people who can be notorious..Because if some one know this martial art he can kill or injured anyone v easily..person who genious in this he can kill some one even without touch physically..that much it's v dangerous martial art..Angampora martial artist is doctor, farmer and he know woodoo too..Before this martial art giving to only family members..not for normal citizens..Angampora is greatest martial art was in Srilanka..even now in British royal family have lot of old valueble documents and books that they steal from us who belong to Srilanka😢😥
The over exaggerated stupid shit that i have read today . 30000 years? Did you even go to school? Angam means body ( angam is Tamil word) This was brought into this island by the Pandyas because of their close ties with sinhala kings and it is very similar to kalariyapayetu from kerala. Angampora is a martial art derived from ancient martial arts of south india. Educate your self !
@@dormxboydboy8603 I'm not going to talk about my education. but I realize the manners that u have when u talking to some one..I just talking about our martial arts..Our first empire king name is Mahasammatha Manu..He was live 28000 ago accodring to oral histroy..that time Srilanka is 8times bigger than now if I right..It's mention in the book called Rajawaliya..as u said there is kalayapattu is Kerala traditional martial art similer to Srilankan angampora..But Angampora is our own traditional martial art..Since long time Srilanka had war histroy..That's because we had colonize by Indians, portuguese, Dutch and British time to time..So to fight with these all nations Angampora helped to Srilankans..It's mentioned in British governors histroy records that written about Srilanka.king Rawana develop Angampora more and more mix with his spiritual power & skills..Srilankans used this martial art to protect the country from colonize from other nations..anyway this all details that I said from histrocal books, documents, oral and written histroy..And also from Angampora teachers..I wish u good day bro..
It's been told a proper angampora guru can defeat 50 ordinary soldiers effortlessly this was so dangerous british banned it when they came to Sri Lanka
If you want to know what Angarapora studied person can do. Just watch the teledrama called "Dandubasna maanaya" අංගම්පොර ඉගෙන ගත් පුද්ගලයෙකු ට කොපමන දෙයක් කල හැකිද යන්න දැන ගැනීමට අවශ්ය නම් "දඩු බස්නාමානය " ටෙලිනාට්ය සොයාගන බලන්න

Amgampora is all about discipline. Not everyone can learn. However, today some places are teaching this as a business

The real art of Angampora lost its existence a long time back, the British made damn sure that it would never review again.
It is a very tragic story, many people protected the art with their life. It was only passed down among a few family bloodlines and in an ironic secrecy. Slowly many aspects of the art began to fall out (since some successors were incapable and non-deserving to practice the art) and eventually, what you find today named as Angampora is a very small part of the actual art and heavily subjected to reformations.
Proud to be a Sri Lankan ❤️❤️ & thanks jonny to publish this 💙💙
Johnny, for you to explore this means you are a true traveler. this is a very rare thing even sinhala people do not know much about. thanks you for bringing this to light
1818 english came to Sri Lanka and distroid angampora. We still lucky to same left
Sadly core content was lost. But few things remain intact
Waaaw super .i supported you .ආඩම්බරයි අපේ ශ්රී ලංකාවේ සහෝදරයන් .
Angampora is a deeply spiritual and martial art... Only a few know Angampora at present.
Owaw it is amazin .... Thank you so much Mr. Jonny for showing my mother country & sharing our culture , history to all over the world
"Angampora" traditional local fights..Proud to my country 🇱🇰
Proud to be A Sri Lankan🇱🇰 thank you
king RAWANA'S fighting style . More than 7000 years..❤️🇱🇰💪🏾
Very interesting thing that I have seen today from my motherland.
Thanks a lot Johnny 🙏
Great intro to this once lost martial art and a great description. As you rightly said, to practice Angampora is a rare opportunity even locals get. Keep up the good work Jonny!
This is something us srilankans can be extremely proud of.On the other hand someone who is trained in a single art doesnt do that well in the modern day competitive stage.Thats why i like to see a well rounded fighter with may be BJJ / Wrestling back ground with striking (Mui thai/kickboxing) experience trying their skill against a traditional martial artist.
Thank you Johnny,,Sri Lanka must thankful to you as you have showed this anciant martial arts heritage to the world.Even most of the Sri Lankans are not aware of this art
Love your videos johhny I am a Sri Lankan living in the UK👍
Same here.....living in Toronto 👍
I have met Srilankans. They have beautiful women. They are relatively close to us in the horn of Africa. I would encourage them to become Ng this back into their culture!
wowww............. Beauty of Sri Lanka.... I love my motherland. Proud to be Sri Lankan ....
Respect King RAWANA....
Very nice and informative vlog! As a Sri Lankan who was never interested to know about Angampora is learning and appreciating about it through this video and comments. I hope to see you do more interesting and unique videos like this in future!
Angampora has a long history. It was practiced both by people and monks too. It is more of a spiritual martial art. It was practiced in caves long time back because there were many invaders to ancient ceylon. It was prohibited by the British because it became a great threat for their exsistance. Anyways thanks Johnny for bringing us this. ❤️💪
yes, Angampora is said more than 3000 years old. Its just amazing that Angampora existed in Srilanka even before King vijaya and Buddhism came to srilnaka.

I knew you would find your way to experience the ancient Angampora martial Art, as you thrive to experience off the beaten path. having said that, like any other martial art, Angampora is ancient and it's very spiritual, in recent times many young Sri Lankans have shown an interest in learning this and hopefully, they will continue to keep this respectful Art of fighting alive for a long time.
You are ferting really getting down and deep into Sri Lanka. Way to go!

Dude, this is awesome. Good video !
Non of the european nations were able to completely colonize Sri lanka though they invaded all other coutries in south and South east Asia till 1815 Sri lankans gave the throne to British without War because they all wanted to get rid of the Late King Sri wikrama Rajasinghe because he was so cruel. WHAT I WANTED SAY IS THAT FOR ALL THESE YEARS ANGAMPORA PLAYED MAJOR ROLE IN KEEPING US UNDEFEATED
our gun craftmanship played a bigger role than angampora
Appreciate this machan. We Sri Lankans learn a fair bit too. Have a good stay, cheers!
You know it's real business when you see them start with elbow drills. Btw those swordfights were just stylized demos.
Awesome!. Thank you for showing the world our ancient culture which is slowly fading away.

Some of people think the Kalaripayattu and Angampora are same. but it isn’t, I know the Kalaripayattu and Anagampora are looking similar to eye. But they are different; different techniques, different culture and different history. You could say Karate and judo are the same when you look at it that way.
Ayyo machan wadak na katha karala..Indian un piligannema na..un kiyannema aka ungen apu akak kiyala..
Machan as far as i know angampora came from Kalari background! But our ancient people were so talented enough to make a different martial art system for Sri Lanka own. Its the angampora! Many guys argue we are doing Kalari. Some of the swords use in angampora such as strait blade sword, foldable strap blade sword is in kalari too. But its not, Adopted some techniques from kalari and ancestors were damn talented to make unique system.

Great job done by you showing sri Lanka's great Marshall art of "ANGAMPORA". thank you for your work
I love Christinas outfit she looks good on read💕
Thank u Johnny for promoting this video ...
Im really proud as a sri lanken
Angamora , a traditional martial art that was practised in Sri Lanka for many years ago . This beautiful art has been lost by the modern day youth . Credit goes to those teachers who practised this art ,thought them to their children , grandchildren even during the time of colonial era ban . Thanks to the dedication of those grandmasters master's the art is alive . The army Angamora stadium has given life to this beautiful art .the Colombo university art division has come up with a unique idea with traditional music . The programme with rupawahini a few years ago was amazing .the tourist board must tie up with these institutions to bring this art to life . People like channa and other professional artist with their lost art costumes , for sure would add value . I did watch an Indian traditional martial arts programme , I think it was called " kallady . The two traditional arts in one stage . Well , should be nice to watch .
Angampora love ❤️
Thank you for showing our history to the whole world
I watch your videos often and appreciate it very much. I would like to note this as a fact and not as a critique. Ancient martial arts is not a show that people show you. It is a form of warfare used only to defend Buddhism and my country. Also, this ancient martial art was never passed on to other nations. (Just a fact). I like to tell a little story. During the last dynasty there was a warrior called Levuke. He was like a devil to the invaders who came to my country (during the Portuguese or Dutch invasion) but the people who were personally jealous of him plotted to kill him. According to legend, he did not retaliate when attacked. He did not strike with a single finger. This is because he and all the warriors swear not to use martial arts for the sake of the country or for anything other than to preserve Buddhism. I would like to point out that such sacred art is not sold in the weekly market. The real Angam Guru is still secretly living with the methods of fighting. The Portuguese and the English were so frightened that they forbade anyone to keep a sword in a Sinhala house. I really like and appreciate your channel. Thank you
This martial art is nothing but indian kalaripayattu, silambam and varma kalai rebranded. Buddhism is also another indian arrival to the island.
Proud of my natural,traditional beautiful country sri lanka 🇱🇰
I dont know "angampora", but reason they do bolck attacker from out side because attacker may have knife or gun. (see this video they do block from attacker's right side, then the attacker cant see you and attacker cant use the knife or the gun) if you try to block an attacker wrong way(as Christina did leg kick), then attacker can kill Christina since she is opened to the attacker.
It has some resemblance to Filipino stick fighting which I studied for some years as part of martial arts training. The woman's Kata was extremely close to Okinawa Shorin Ryu Kata, in fact there is one that is almost exactly like her's. We use the long bow exactly as he demonstrates. The whip and shield is unique although we have a chain that is used. We do Kendo instead of the club fighting. The two guys fighting has some resemblance to Wing Chung hand fighting. We have an exercise that we stand shoulder to shoulder and practice pulling the other of balance. They had you learning an outside block and arm capture with joint break. Those moves are in Jiu Jitsu which we learned along with Wing Chung and Shorin Ryu. We studied old school only a mouth and groin guard all on concrete with no gloves. We also studied combat style, not sport. I'm smiling thinking of the 15 years I studied officially which at that point it for life. Wouldn't trade any of it. Incidentally women learn kicking much faster than guys they have a nature round house that is learned in a couple lessons, its the hips. Her long legs are an actually disadvantage as shorter legs and arms are quicker due to length. I will look more into this martial arts to learn some moves from it. The video is extremely interesting. Thanks Johnny!

Angampora is a traditional martial art in Srilanka..It's old more than 30000years ago..But King Rawana develop this martial art..This martial art is old than all martial arts in the world..and Angampora can see only in Srilanka..actually now we can only see 3% remains from this martial art..Because British people realize this will be v dangerous against for them..So they kill all the Angampora teachers and all the people who know Angampora..Not only that then they bring all the books that written about Angampora to England..then they banned from Srilanka to train or teach in Srilanka..Before this martial art did not teach to everyone..they teach also secretly..they didn't teach to people who can be notorious..Because if some one know this martial art he can kill or injured anyone v easily..person who genious in this he can kill some one even without touch physically..that much it's v dangerous martial art..Angampora martial artist is doctor, farmer and he know woodoo too..Before this martial art giving to only family members..not for normal citizens..Angampora is greatest martial art was in Srilanka..even now in British royal family have lot of old valueble documents and books that they steal from us who belong to Srilanka😢😥
Actually its born out of kalaripayattu :) ancient tamil martialart which Was ravanan then teached it too.
The over exaggerated stupid shit that i have read today . 30000 years? Did you even go to school? Angam means body ( angam is Tamil word) This was brought into this island by the Pandyas because of their close ties with sinhala kings and it is very similar to kalariyapayetu from kerala. Angampora is a martial art derived from ancient martial arts of south india. Educate your self !
