How kalaripayattu and yoga share the same spiritual roots but reach them by opposite paths — yoga inward, kalari outward. A grounded look from a teacher.

Every Kalaripayattu weapon explained — staff, sword, urumi, otta. History, characteristics, modern status, and how each one trained the warrior who carried it.

Kalaripayattu has four disciplines and roughly a dozen weapons. A teacher maps every weapon to the stage where you first meet it — and explains the pedagogy.

Kalaripayattu vs yoga explained — origins, training, focus, and which practice fits you. A practitioner's comparison, not a sales pitch.
