Mother of all martial arts

It is told that the eastern martial arts like Karate, Kung Fu, Taekwondo, Judo etc had its origins in India from a small state called Kerala. Kerala was and is the spice kingdom of India and the chinese travellers and businessmen who used to visit India took them with them to China. The martial art is called Kalari in Malayalam the local language of the people of Kerala. Kalari is a more varied martial art compared to the east asian ones because of the diverse tools used. Other than hand and legs, Long sticks, short swords, hand daggers, 6 to 10 meters ,flexible and sharp on both sides flying swords are used. They also used techniques wjich are used in conjuction with the terrain of the fighting place. Like for example, if it is a sandy terrain they use the swirling technique where the fighter swirls around and uses his leg to spread sand around him and then attack the enemy.

Ancient written books on the style and secrets of Kalari date back to 500 to 600 A.D. Skills like making a opponent paralysed by attacking his nerve centres and even killing him without actually using any form of weapons other than hand is employed.

Kalari is an ancient methodically written and practised martial art in India which outdates any other known martial art in the world which is like wise recorded and written.

The"Chaver Pada" or the suicide squad as it was called was the first suicide squads in the world. Primarily composed of the Nair caste men in the army of the samorin (Or king) of Malabar in Northen Kerala they were fierce warriors. These warriors were Kalari experts.

  tsk tsk.... these poor guys........ Baat ka batangad bana diya. a logical argument would've carried more weight than the lengthy and fictitious discourse that ARK just gave. Anyway ARK, its okay if your gr8 grandmother was one of some king's dozens of wives. you little peace of s#it, didn't you read my name carefully? Are you fukkin blind? Rana is a title. It is used by blue blooded people. I AM from a royal blood line, and am proud to say that it's my forefathers and not some great grandmother who got raped by some dravidian king. Poor bastaad, go and seek solace in the arms of Harish. Your interpretation of history is both hazy as well as twisted. Where did you buy your degrees from? You arse#ole go and re-read the history books(assuming you had read them earlier). Then come back here and talk. As for the physical abuse you threatened me with..... I can only laugh..... I have yet to come across a maddoo who looks intimidating (being black as a bitch and scary looking doesn't count here). Need my address?? Need a one way ticket(assuming you are as poor as your intellect and your knowledge)?? let me know. I've never paid to kick some a.rse before, but well... there's always first time

  Hey you, as infinitely s*hitty piece of s*hit as has ever been in this civilization, did you not read my earlier post, I had told you to remember certain things when you speak to people descending of a heritage ten thousand times more ancient than the evolutionary process of your scum-eating ancestors, did I not? What is "fictitious" I have already explained in my longest post ever, on this forum right above, reg your tall claims of antiquity and heritage
  when you are descendants of gypsies like the Hunas and Kushanas who had not even seen the first twilight of evolution till as recently as 400AD. I know your land is full of b*astards, you sonofawhore, but I told you from where you and your dirty race stands you can only expect to look upwards, and you know what happens when
  you spit while doing that?!

  I have the blood of the Family that I mentioned and explained a bit about through my Maternal
  Grandmother's branch and as to how I am related is not something that I feel I am entitled to explain to some garbage-orginated piece of s*hit. So do not assume things. Re-read whatever I have written and then see if even one thing I mentioned regarding the Historical part ie is wrong, even one. I have read and read the right kinds of books and asI said before and that can never be overemphasized I *DO NOT* need the certificate of approval from some scum-dwelling race's and family's member. *EVERYTHING* I said is *100% TRUE* and you can go to hell if you disagree.

  And you know you scummyRana that I am way away in the States and you are in some hell-hole in your dirty stinking native region, so sit back and reassure yourself about your "blood" and "lineage" that I have just told you about.

  Its easy to bark away from a distance, I would not have to even touch you to demolish you, you ugly pig, I bet you are as fat and ugly as those from your dirty race, why do you keep grunting and marrying amongst yourselves? Its obvious, which other race's member would even touch you, as they are only infinitely higher?

  If you have seen '7 deadly arts with akshay kumar' yesterday on national geographic channel yesterday you will know every word written about kalari is true in this thread.As a malloo I have never tried to convince the short sighted,inefficient northis about our history or culture simply because I know they do not have the brains to understand that.We are much better off with out that.Rana better go to a home for the mentally ratarded.Even if some one tells you your fathers name you won't believe.
