Revival of Kalari in India?
Although Kalari went through a revival in India in the
80s and early 90s, the trend as gone slack again. Although Northern Kalari
(vadakan system) has been show on TV and is doing well. The Southern art
seems to get little Attention. The art originally from Tamil Nadu is known
as a tough fighting art. But many old masters are dying without a successor.
Many are too poor to operate a school as well of a lack of interest from
youngsters. What’s needed is a vested interest from the government.
