Are you ready to transform your body and mind?
Kalari, known to be the 'Mother of all martial arts' is an ancient Indian practice system combining the 3 core human elements - body, mind, and spirit (Atma).
Developed by ancient time yogis, it challenges the mind & body through intense exercises focusing on core strength and flexibility. Advanced practitioners explore defense techniques including weapon training and Ayurvedic healing.
Closely safeguarded within warrior-clan families for centuries, today Kalari is rising in global popularity thanks to open-minded practitioners (Gurus) through the past 100 years. If willing to explore beyond commonplace yoga sessions, and ready to dive deeper into core Indian ancient practices, YourKalari.de welcomes you!

About Me
My name is Hari and I hail from Trivandrum, a southern town in India. Having first stepped into a dojo at the age of five, the learning process is still far from over for me. Meanwhile, I had the opportunity to learn different styles of Kalari, along other Asian and Western martial arts.
My Kalari training began at the age of 9 under a widely known Gurukkal in Trivandrum and ever since this then martial art has integrated into my very being. Today I endeavor to proudly share the tradition further with utmost humility and respect to all Gurus of the present and past.

Frequently asked
Who can be a Kalari practitioner?
Essential qualities of a good learner are the right intention, an open mind, and perseverance. Anyone above the age of 8 years and with these mental qualities can be a good practitioner.
Do you offer online sessions?
Currently no. As Kalari is a deep art form that requires mental presence, virtual settings are insufficient.
I have some physical conditions that need special care. Can I practice Kalari?
It has to be considered on a case-by-case basis. Kalari is an intense practice that requires a certain level of physical stability and strength. When in doubt, always check with your physician. We do not take responsibility for any injuries or aches.
Do you operate in Munich?
I offer my knowledge only as a hobby and with the sole purpose of sharing this wonderful art form of my motherland. This means that I do have limitations. Currently, sessions are offered only in Kissing, near Augsburg.
How soon can I be a master in Kalari? When will I start to handle weapons?
Traditionally, Kalari training starts with a stage called 'meypayattu' (Mey = physical body; Payattu = Exercise / Fight) that can prolong for a few years. Depending on the progress being achieved, one can enter the next stages of training - weapons and hand-fighting.
Is there a certification program for Kalaripayattu?
I do not offer such programs. Kalari, like all other Asian martial arts, is a very ancient practice when certifications were not so popular. In those days, there was no necessity to 'grade' oneself against a milestone or peers. The practice was sacred and for the self. Between the Guru and the student, everything was clear. Currently, there are efforts on-going in Kerala to bring in such programs.
Is Kalari related to Yoga?
To answer, one must focus on what is popular today as Yoga. The most direct comparison is made between Kalari and Yoga-asanas (body postures). Here, Kalari can be regarded as an extension or 'purposeful' fine-tuning. You will notice how advanced postures in Yoga-asana are common to Kalari. The mental and spiritual learnings are also integrated as core values in both practices. Therefore, they are the same, yet not. Separated yet inseparable.
