About This Opportunity
Kalarigram Trust provides offline weekend classes dedicated to the ancient Indian martial art of Kalaripayattu. These sessions offer direct, hands-on training, focusing on the fundamental techniques and principles of this traditional art form. Participants will engage in physical exercises designed to enhance strength, flexibility, balance, and overall body-mind coordination.
The classes are open to individuals from 6 to 60 years of age who possess a fair degree of physical fitness and a keen interest in exploring Kalaripayattu. While prior experience is not strictly required, a commitment to consistent practice is essential for progression through the different levels of competence. The program is suitable for beginners and those with some experience.
Participants will gain significant benefits, including improved physical fitness, enhanced concentration, and increased self-awareness. The training helps in developing motor coordination, a sense of rhythm, and the ability to overcome fear. It also serves as a foundation for classical dance forms and can aid in memory improvement.
The curriculum covers basic exercises like Meiabhyasam/Meipayattu, which includes salutations, Surya Namaskar, and animal poses. Students will learn fundamental steps (chuvadu) and sequences (adavu), building a strong base in this comprehensive martial art. The Gurukkals also incorporate elements of Ayurveda and Yoga into the training.
