Central kalaripayattu

The Central style of Kalaripayattu, or Madhya Kalari, is a form of Kalaripayattu practiced mainly in the central parts of Kerala, India.[1] Contrary to popular belief, it is a composite of the Northern and Southern forms of Kalaripayattu, but also has its own distinctive techniques, which are performed within floor paths known as kalam.[1] Madhya Kalari has many different styles which place heavy emphasis on lower body strength and speed through thorough practice of various chuvadu, or forms, and meypayattu, or exercises. After mastery over basic chuvadu and meypayattu, the practitioner may advance into weaponry and advanced studies.[2]
