Kalaripayattu Bodhidharma

Event Name:	Kalaripayattu Bodhidharma
Description:	Kalaripayattu today has few canters that practice and teach the basics of Kalaripayattu in its original form as conceived and followed by masters of yore. Kalaripayattu owes its genesis to a union of different elements as laid down in the ancient Vedic texts on weaponry and science viz Dhanurveda and Ayurveda. The Gurukkal (master) Soman Poonthura has literally turned out the two-acre land at Poonthura into a holistic centre for Kalaripayattu under the command of State Government. A well known criminal lawyer, Soman is also the president of Kerala Kalaripayattu Association and executive member of Kerala Sports Council. Over the years, Bodhidharma has earned the appreciation and support of many groups and individuals as a centre of excellence in the time tested martial art tradition of Kerala. With a visionary master like Soman Poonthura and the members of the Kalari at the helm of affairs, the activities of Bodhidharma uphold the traditional values and practice of Kalaripayattu in its entirety.
