WOMA NSW Event Review
On Saturday 18 January 2014 WOMA NSW supported the Kalari
Sangha Australia group to promote Kalari "Payatt" or
"Kalari-Payatt" (Kalarippayattu) to the Indian community of NSW.
“Kalari-Payatt” (Kalarippayattu) meaning “School of
fighting” is a classical style from northern part of the Kerala (S.India)
focusing on holistic conditioning of the body and mind. It emphasizes elegant
Yoga like moves and training in classical Indian weapons.
Guru Anish Thayil, the Australian representative for Kalari
Sangha, migrated to Australia with his wife and young son in 2013. The free
introductory workshop was conducted at the Emerald Dragon Martial Arts Academy
in Penrith NSW.
Sifu David Greenland (WOMA NSW Director) opened the
workshop on behalf of WOMA Australia.
The
workshop presented the history of Kalari, relevance of the art in the modern
times, training concepts in both Northern and Southern Kalari styles, and the fundamental
techniques of Kalari which included some hands on demonstrations.
Guru Anish Thayil’s objective of the workshop is to
promote traditional Indian Martial Arts to the Indian community through community
classes and becoming an active member of WOMA Australia.
