Kalari is not merely an ancient Indian martial art form—it is a comprehensive way of life that transcends the boundaries of physical combat to offer a holistic system integrating the mind, body, and spirit. The word "Kalari" means battlefield or combat arena.
The term “Kalari,” which traces its origins to ancient Tamizh (Tamil) texts and scriptures, originally referred to a training ground or battlefield. Over time, it has come to represent a diverse range of martial art practices that evolved across different regions of India over thousands of years. Kalari originated in the southern state of Tamil Nadu. It is considered one of the oldest fighting systems in existence, with roots tracing back over 3,000 years. Kalari is rooted deeply in Indian tradition and rich with cultural significance, Kalari offers practitioners—particularly within Australia’s multicultural society—not only effective self-defence techniques but also a transformative path toward personal growth, discipline, and overall well-being.
