Kalarippayattu is a system of martial practice belonging primarily to Kerala, India. Among practitioners of a variety of styles and lineages, the common elements in this martial system include preliminary techniques of exercise combined with seasonal full-body massage and daily application of medicinal oil to the entire body. The word kalari refers specifically to the traditional roofed pits which served as a temple for worship, a gymnasium for martial exercise, and a clinic for treatments. This site offers a collection of academic papers, video clips, and an extensive bibliography related to kalarippayattu.
