Sadhguru Tips: Spiritual Guru explains the oldest form of martial art Kalaripayattu

Kalaripayattu is a very ancient art. It is traditionally believed to have been originated by the Lord himself but like many other aspects of Indian culture, this extraordinary martial art is also the product of none other than Agastya Muni. Sadhguru shares knowledge on Kalaripayattu.

Oldest form of martial art

Kalaripayattu is probably the oldest tactical art and martial art of this earth. Originally this martial art was taught by Agastya Muni. In the early days, it was not just about kicking, punching or stabbing, but the art involved using one's body in every way. This art was not only limited to exercise and physical fitness, but it also included a good understanding of the energy system of one's body. A part of this is also Kalari Chikitsa and Kalari Marma, which includes all the secrets of the body and information about physical remedies, so that the body can be made energetic and active.

If you go deeper into it, you find yourself going towards yoga

There are very few true practitioners of Kalaripayattu left who devote their time, energy and attention completely to this form of martial art. But when you go deeper into it, you find yourself going towards yoga, because whatever comes from Agastya Muni, it cannot be anything other than spirituality. It is simply another dimension, to be explored in every possible way.
