Core Techniques in Kalaripayattu Basic Training

Our basic Kalaripayattu course lays a strong foundation through a systematic progression of techniques.

Stances and Postures ( Adavu )

Mastering the art of standing is fundamental to Kalaripayattu. We teach various stances (Adavu) to develop balance, stability, and power generation. These stances are the foundation for all subsequent movements.

Strikes and Blocks (Vazhuth)

Training encompasses a wide array of hand and leg strikes, including punches, kicks, elbows, and knees. Simultaneously, we emphasize defensive techniques such as blocking, parrying, and evasive maneuvers.

Footwork (Chavittu)

Developing agility and speed is crucial in Kalaripayattu. Our footwork training focuses on various steps, jumps, and evasive movements to enhance mobility and responsiveness.

Body Conditioning (Angamardha)

Physical conditioning is integral to Kalaripayattu. Our basic training includes exercises to build strength, stamina and endurance. This includes calisthenics, weight training and yoga-inspired postures.

Weaponry (Ayudha)

While not exclusive to the basic level, an introduction to weapon handling is often initiated. Students may be introduced to basic weapon stances and movements, laying the groundwork for advanced weapon training.

By mastering these core techniques, students develop a comprehensive understanding of Kalaripayattu's principles and are well-prepared for advanced training.
